Early history of laboratory breeding of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) focusing on the origins and use of selected strains.
The yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae), is well recognized for its extensive adaptation to diverse ecological conditions and for genetic variation. Recognizing the importance of strain variation of this mosquito, researchers have established a large number of laboratory strains. Some of the popular strains have been used for research for years in many laboratories ar...
متن کاملGrapefruit juice-drug interactions.
The novel finding that grapefruit juice can markedly augment oral drug bioavailability was based on an unexpected observation from an interaction study between the dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, felodipine, and ethanol in which grapefruit juice was used to mask the taste of the ethanol. Subsequent investigations showed that grapefruit juice acted by reducing presystemic felodipine ...
متن کاملManagement of grapefruit-drug interactions.
Grapefruit is a healthy addition to a well-balanced diet. However, the fruit has been shown to affect the metabolism of many medications, increasing the risk of toxicity and adverse effects. Characteristics of oral medications that may interact with grapefruit include extensive metabolism through the intestinal cytochrome P450 3A4 system, low bioavailability, and a narrow therapeutic index. Pro...
متن کاملFlavonoids in Grapefruit and Commercial Grapefruit Juices: Concentration, Distribution, and Potential Health Benefi ts
Florida is the main producer of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) in the world. Grapefruit provide not only the traditional nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals), but also phytochemicals such as fl avonoids, which are not essential for life, but may provide many health benefi ts. Flavanones are the dominant fl avonoids, and account for about 98% of the total fl avonoids in gr...
متن کاملUse of 2n Gametes in Plant Breeding
Genome doubling (polyploidization) has played a major role in the evolution and diversification of the plant kingdom and is regarded as an important mechanism of speciation and adaptation in plants (Otto & Whitton, 2000). The term ploidy refers to the number of basic chromosome sets (represented by ‘x’) present in a somatic plant cell (2n) or gamete (n). Scaling whole sets of chromosomes up or ...
