Data from Loasaceae and Ribes (Grossulariaceae) obtained during field studies in Peru allow us to define the southeastern limit of the Amotape-Huancabamba Zone with remarkable precision. The limit runs in slightly southeasterly direction from NE of Otuzco (department La Libertad, province Otuzco, Río Chicama drainage system: S 07° 50,315 ́, W 078° 29,076 ́) to the mountain pass between Parcoy and...

Oral administration of Embelia ribes berries (50% EtoH) reduced blood sugar level significantly. In intact rats, blood sugar levels were decreased by 13.1% and 20.3% after 3 hrs. and 5 hrs. of treatment respectively. While in alloxan induced diabetic rats blood glucose levels were decreased after 3 hours and 5hours by 28.1% and 34.5% respectively. Hypoglycaemic action of Embelia ribes berries m...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of Embelia ribes Burm fruits on methionine-induced hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress in albino rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult male Wistar albino rats were fed with the aqueous extract of Embelia ribes (100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) for 30 days. Hyperhomocysteinemia was induced by methi...

System architecture, experimental settings and evaluation results of the EIWA in the WAT2014 Japanese to English (jaen) and Chinese to Japanese (zh-ja) tasks are described. Our system is combining rule-based machine translation (RBMT) and statistical post-editing (SPE).

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the main enzyme for the breakdown of acetylcholine. Nowadays, usage of the inhibitors of this enzyme is one of the most important types of treatment of mild to moderate neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Herbal medicines can be a new source of inhibitors of this enzyme. In this study we examined around 100 different plants to evaluate their in...

Some have included the ganglion of Ribes (Francois Ribes, 1765-1845), lying on the anterior communicating artery, as the most superior ganglion of the sympathetic nervous system. To verify the presence of this structure, the anterior communicating artery was harvested from 40 fresh adult cadavers and histological analysis and immunochemistry performed. Grossly and with magnification, no ganglio...

Embelia ribes is a threatened woody shrub belonging to the family Myrsinaceae, which is sparsely distributed in the moist deciduous forests of the Western Ghats in India. The previous reports showed the effect of Embelin in methylcholanthrene induced fibrosarcoma in albino rats besides enhancing their survival time. Embelin provided a good support for the chemopreventive effect against Nnitroso...

The genus Ribes (Grossulariaceae) is widespread across the northern hemisphere, but also species-rich in tropical Andes. In Peruvian Andes mostly found at least seasonally moist cloud and scrub forests, subparamo habitats hedges. However, some taxa are from more extreme semi-arid of western slope (Andean scrub, ovalifolium) respectively high Andean puna paramo elevations up to 5100 m asl (Ribes...
