Abstract: The present invention generally relates to method for evaluating and improving cognitive function in a subject. In particular, the invention generally relates to methods for evaluating cognitive function in a subject by determining the level of cholesteryl esters in a subject, and to improving cognitive function in a subject comprising the administration of cholesteryl oleate, or analogues thereof.

Abstract: The present application relates generically to compositions used for controlling agricultural pests and, in a particular, to compositions usable for combating nematodes. The application presents a feasible alternative to the use of nematotoxic compounds that are harmful to the environment and that may damage human health. This alternative includes a nematotoxic composition for controlling nematodes that may be used on plants, parts of plants and on the soil. The respective technology results from unexpected results achieved from experiments carried out with extracts of the plant Canavalia ensiformis, resulting in an unheard-of nematotoxic composition comprising a specific combination of substances that are naturally found in the extract and that act synergistically.
