Se reporta por primera vez a Agonosoma trilineatum (Fabricius) alimentándose de Croton conduplicatus Kunth (Euphorbiaceae), además, se confirma la condición dimórfica en los machos cuanto al patrón color exhibido un sistema sucesional bosque estacionalmente seco Mérida, Venezuela.

Acetic acid-induced writhing, hot-plate, carrageenan-induced pleurisy, formalin-induced pain, croton oil-induced ear edema, vascular permeability tests and phospholipase A2 activity assay were used to study the analgesic and/or antiinflammatory activity of the hydromethanolic fraction of ethanolic extract from Spiranthera odoratissima A. St.-Hil., Rutaceae, leaves (HMF) and its subfraction (sub...

PURPOSE To examine the effects of intensity and duration of exercise stress on induction of in vivo immunity in humans using experimental contact hypersensitivity (CHS) with the novel antigen diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP). METHODS Sixty-four healthy males completed either 30 min running at 60% V˙O2peak (30MI), 30 min running at 80% V˙O2peak (30HI), 120 min running at 60% V˙O2peak (120MI), or ...

Typically, plant-pollinator interactions are recognized as mutualistic relationships. Flower visitors, however, can potentially play multiple roles. The floral nectar in Croton suberosus has been proposed to operate as a reward for predators, especially the wasp Polistes instabilis (Vespidae), which kills herbivorous insects, while the plant has been thought to be mainly wind-pollinated. In thi...

Piperine (1-peperoyl piperidine) was isolated from Piper nigrum Linn for the evaluation of anti-inflammatory activity in rats. Different acute and chronic experimental models like carrageenin-induced rat paw edema, cotton pellet granuloma, and croton oil-induced granuloma pouch, were employed. Simultaneously, biochemical estimations were made to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the action....

In the present study, we induced melanomas in C57BL/6 mice by a single application of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene to the scapular region of 4-day-old mice, followed by twice-weekly applications of croton oil. Of 20 mice treated, melanomas arose in two female littermates. The first melanoma (JB/MS) arose 16 weeks after initiation of treatment, and the second melanoma (JB/RH) arose 23 weeks la...
