Solanum anomalum is a plant used ethnomedically for the treatment of diabetes. The study was aimed to validate ethnomedical claims in rat model and identify the likely antidiabetic compounds. Leaf extract (70–210 mg/kg/day) and fractions (140 mg/kg/d... Read More about In vivo antihyperglycaemic and antihyperlipidemic activities and chemical constituents of Solanum anomalum.

Cuticular hydrocarbons for the identification and geographic assignment of empty puparia of forensically important flies. (2022)
Journal Article
Drijfhout. (2022). Cuticular hydrocarbons for the identification and geographic assignment of empty puparia of forensically important flies. International Journal of Legal Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00414-022-02786-1

Research in social insects has shown that hydrocarbons on their cuticle are species-specific. This has also been proven for Diptera and is a promising tool for identifying important fly taxa in Forensic Entomology. Sometimes the empty puparia, in whi...
