Synergy between Synthetic and Microbial Herbicides for Weed Control

Synthetic herbicides have been investigated as tools to synergize mycoherbicides (fungal bioherbicides) for improved efficacy or management of hard-to-control weed problems. Herbicides may weaken weeds and impair their defence systems, thus making weeds more vulnerable to mycoherbicide infection. Despite many positive results, the practical value of synergy remains elusive. This review will dis...

Synergy between TCM and Oncothermia

Synergy between fosfomycin and arenaemycin.

Synergy was evident in zones of inhibition between neighboring filter discs containing fosfomycin and an unidentified fermentation broth placed on the surface of agar growth medium seeded with Bacillus megaterium (S. Mochales ; personal communication). The antibiotic was isolated and identified as arenaemycin (T. Miller and K. Wilson; personal communication). We report in this communication tha...

Relationship between leptin and oestrogens in healthy women.

OBJECTIVE Leptin. a protein secreted by white adipocytes, plays a relevant role in the regulation of body weight and food intake. A possible role for sex hormones in the regulation of leptin secretion has been suggested; however, the effect of variations in oestrogen concentration on serum leptin levels has not been described so far. METHODS In study 1, serum leptin concentrations were measur...

Effect of synthetic oestrogens and progestagens in oral contraceptives on bile lipid composition.

The prevalence of cholesterol gall stones in young women has increased since the introduction of oral contraceptives. The synthetic female sex hormones used in these preparations, increase the degree of cholesterol saturation in bile. To determine whether oestrogens, progestagens, or both, are responsible for the change in biliary cholesterol saturation index, a prospective randomised, controll...
