This appendix describes a variety of software programs for system dynamics modeling. It begins with spreadsheet programs since these are probably the most widely recognized software. The appendix demonstrates that spreadsheets can be constructed to simulate behavior over time.

BACKGROUND Plagiochin E (PLE) is an antifungal macrocyclic bis(bibenzyl) isolated from liverwort Marchantia polymorpha L. Its antifungal mechanism is unknown. To elucidate the mechanism of action, its effect on mitochondria function in Candida albicans was studied. METHODS We assayed the mitochondrial membrane potential (mtDeltapsi) using rhodamine 123, measured ATP level in mitochondria by H...

Background: Purple laver ((Porphyra dentate) is a popular edible seaweed in Asia. This study examined protective effects of extract from purple laver extract (PLE) in diabetic mice. Methods: Content of carotenoids and anthocyanins in PLE was analyzed. PLE at 0.5 and 1% was supplied for 7 weeks. Results: PLE was rich in anthocyanins. PLE intake at 0.5 and 1% lowered plasma glucose level (P<0.05)...
