Abstract: ?-hydroxy butyric acid in combination with ?-hydroxybutyrate salts are useful to induce ketosis, achieving blood ketone levels of (0.5-6.0 mmol/L), with or without dietary restriction, and without inducing harmfully high mineral loads in the blood. The combination of ?-hydroxy butyric acid and salt results in substantial improvements in metabolic bookmakers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, weight loss, and physical performance & endurance in a short period of time. Further, use of these supplements to achieve ketosis yields a significant elevation of blood ketones and reduction of blood glucose levels. These acid/salt mixtures are also useful for suppressing appetite, preventing epileptic seizures, and treating cancer.

Abstract: The present invention belongs, in a general manner to the technological field of the pharmaceutical industry and relates, more specifically, to one or more compositions of second use to be destined for the treatment of melasma. The present invention relates to the use of substances belonging to the group of alpha-adrenergic receptor agonists, in different variable concentrations, for treating conditions of melasma upon human skin. Furthermore, the present invention discloses pharmaceutical compositions, the latter being associated or not with other compounds or methods of treatment, to be utilised for the treatment of melasma.
Abstract: Nematode dispersal is one of the key features for success as a biocontrol agent. Currently, commercially available nematodes do not disperse sufficiently when they are applied to a field. Since the insect target is mobile, nematodes need to be actively moving and seeking an insect host. We developed a pheromone extract from nematode growth medium that disperses nematodes. This extract was unstable in liquid form. We have found that the extract can be dried to retain activity during storage or shipment. Exposing nematodes to pheromone extract before they are applied to a field activates them to disperse and seek a new host. This exposure needs to be at least 20 min. When nematodes are actively seeking a new host this increases nematode insect encounter and increases insect mortality leading to increased effectiveness of insect nematodes as biological control agents.
