Aerobic capacity is not improved following 10-day supplementation with peppermint essential oil [PDF]
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 2017 This study examined the effects of peppermint essential oil (PEP) on aerobic capacity. Seven healthy participants performed a graded maximal exercise test following 10 days of ingesting either PEP or a control in a randomised crossover design. There was no significant difference between control and PEP trials for expired gas variables (peak oxygen ...

Menthofuran regulates essential oil biosynthesis in peppermint by controlling a downstream monoterpene reductase [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 (+)-Pulegone is a central intermediate in the biosynthesis of (-)-menthol, the most significant component of peppermint essential oil. Depending on environmental conditions, this branch point metabolite may be reduced to (-)-menthone en route to menthol, by pulegone reductase (PR), or oxidized to (+)-menthofuran, by menthofuran synthase ...

A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.

Gonadal hormones, but not sex, affect the acquisition and maintenance of a Go/No-Go odor discrimination task in mice [PDF]
, 2018 In mice, olfaction is crucial for identifying social odors (pheromones) that signal the presence of suitable mates. We used a custom-built olfactometer and a thirst-motivated olfactory discrimination Go/No-Go (GNG) task to ask whether discrimination of ...

Brassinosteroid Modifies Growth and Essential Oil Production in Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.)
Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2016 This study was carried out to determine the effect of brassinosteroid (BR) (24-epibrassinolide (24-eBL) at concentration 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 ppm) on the growth and essential oil accumulation in peppermint (Mentha piperita L.). Plants were planted in pots with vermiculite and perlite in a growth chamber at 25 ± 1 °C.
