The chemical composition of Porella arboris-vitae extracts was determined by solid phase microextraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME GC-MS), and 66 constituents were identified. The dominant compounds in methanol extract of P. arboris-vitae were β-caryophyllene (14.7%), α-gurjunene (10.9%), α-selinene (10.8%), β-elemene

The capability of the cockroach Periplaneta americana to discriminate odors of structurally similar aliphatic alcohols was studied by using an operant conditioning paradigm. Cockroaches were trained to discriminate three odors: one odor associated with sucrose solution (reward) and two odors

In order to study the mechanisms of acute n-hexane intoxication, the effects of n-hexane and its metabolites 2-hexanol, methyl-n-butyl ketone, 2,5-hexanediol and 2,5-hexanedione on the cloned voltage-operated potassium channels Kv1.1, Kv1.4, Kv2.1 and Kv3.4 were investigated with electrophysiological techniques in

Since n-hexane metabolites are excreted as glucuronide conjugates, most conventional analytical procedures require preliminary hydrolysis, yielding to the 'total' 2,5-hexanedione (2,5-HD), but also giving rise to a number of artifacts. The whole pattern of n-hexane metabolites, both conjugated and unconjugated
