Advanced Science, EarlyView.After oral administration, inodorous GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles in aqueous environments to resist premature gastric adsorption. Upon reaching the intestine, endogenous esterases rapidly cleave the built‐in ester bonds in these nanomicelles to release BA and GLU, with GLU further metabolized by gut microbiota to gradually generate BA ...

Mountain Vegetation, Indigenous People and Medicinal Plants
Medicinal & Aromatic Plants, 2012 Plants and plant communities survive at the edge of life in high mountains all over the world; these are also ecosystems where climatic change is more visible and where species extinction is very rapid. Mountains are the most remarkable land forms on the earth’s surface with prominent vegetation zones based mainly on altitudinal and climatic ...

Vegetables may slow cognitive decline in older people [PDF]
BMJ, 2006 Eating lots of vegetables is associated with a slowing of cognitive decline in older people. In contrast, a high intake of fruit does not slow the rate of cognitive decline. This was the conclusion of a six year study of 3718 people aged 65 years or older by Martha Morris of the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging, Chicago, and colleagues ( Neurology ...

Impact of land-use on savanna vegetation and populations of non-timber forest product-providing tree species in West Africa [PDF]
, 2011 Savannas are the most important timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) providing ecosystems in West Africa. They have been shaped by traditional human land-use (i.e. agriculture, grazing, and harvesting) for thousands of years. In the last decades,
