The aim of this systematic review is to summarize the evidence for or against the efficacy of plant food supplements (PFS) for coping inflammatory conditions by considering epidemiological and human intervention studies. The review considers six botanical species commonly used as food supplements/medicinals: Urtica dioica L., Symphytum officinalis L., Calendula officinalis L., Curcuma longa L.,...

This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of Borago officinalis essential oil in thermal oxidation fish oil. The volatile compound profile B. (BEO) was determined using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. As a result analysis, 97.27 percent components product were characterized. product’s major benzene acetaldehyde (28.59 percent) linalool (13.60 percent). free radical scaven...

Abstract Body size is a trait that can affect plant–pollinator interaction efficiency and plant reproductive success. We explored the impact of intraspecific shifts on interactions between pollinators flowering plants under controlled conditions. considered two development conditions leading to production large small individual flowers Borago officinalis Echium plantagineum . also used natural ...

Authors describe a case of recurrent exfoliative cheilitis that responded to treatment with a standardized topical preparation of Calendula officinalis L. An eighteen-year-old man was referred to UNESP - São Paulo State University, Department of Biosciences and Oral Diagnosis, São José dos Campos Dental School to investigate a chronic dry scaling lesion on his lips. The patient's main chief was...

Climate change alters the abiotic constraints faced by plants, including increasing temperature and water stress. These changes may affect flower development and production of flower rewards, thus altering plant-pollinator interactions. Here, we investigated the consequences of increased temperature and water stress on plant growth, floral biology, flower-reward production, and insect visitatio...
