Photoperiod-Dependent Effects of Phenolic-Enriched Fruit Extracts on Postprandial Triacylglyceride Levels and Acute Inflammatory Responses in F344 Rats. [PDF]
This study investigates the photoperiod‐dependent effects of eight phenolic‐rich fruit extracts on postprandial blood triacylglyceride (TAG) levels and serum inflammatory markers in F344 rats, following an oral lipid tolerance test (OLTT) and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced inflammatory challenge. Results showed that cherry and plum extracts reduced

Through its effects on movement, landscape fragmentation may influence the response of populations to climate change. This 3‐year‐long experiment on common lizards demonstrates that habitat connectivity can drastically change the impacts of warming on life‐history traits and population dynamics.

The relationship between hard and soft tissue structures of the eye in extant lizards
The sizes of the eye structures are important factors for the visual sensitivity. Strong correlations were found between the size of the scleral ossicle ring and soft tissue structures in extant squamates eyes. These correlations will allow reliable estimations of soft structures and inferences on the visual sensitivity and mode of life in fossil ...

Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of the Decoction ofTropidurus hispidus(Spix, 1825) andTropidurus semitaeniatus(Spix, 1825) Used by the Traditional Medicine [PDF]
Tropidurus hispidusandTropidurus semitaeniatusare two lizard species utilized in traditional medicine in Northeast Brazil. Their medicinal use includes diseases related with bacterial infections such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis. They are used in the form of teas (decoctions) for the treatment of illnesses.
