In the moth, Agrotis ipsilon, newly mated males cease to be attracted to the female-produced sex pheromone, preventing them from re-mating until the next night, by which time they would have refilled their reproductive glands for a potential new ejaculate.

A simple, rapid and sensitive method for the determination of hexanal and heptanal in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed, which is based on polymer monolith microextraction (PMME) with in situ derivatization. 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) as a derivatizing

Most animals rely on olfaction to find sexual partners, food or a habitat. The olfactory system faces the challenge of extracting meaningful information from a noisy odorous environment. In most moth species, males respond to sex pheromone emitted by females

In this work, we developed a new approach to the analysis of the lung cancer biomarkers, hexanal and heptanal in human blood that was based on headspace single-drop microextraction (HS-SDME) with droplet derivatization, followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Aldehydes

The effect of two different antioxidants, EDTA and green tea extract (GTE), used individually or in combination, on the light-induced oxidation of reduced fat soft cheeses (0.2 and 6% fat) was investigated. In samples with 0.2% fat, lipid hydroperoxides as
