Identification of the female-produced sex pheromone of the scarab beetle, Hoplia equina.

J. Chem. Ecol. 29(7) , 1635-42, (2003)

Hoplia equina LeConte (Coleoptera Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) is a beetle pest of cranberry beds in Massachusetts. Larvae feed on the roots of the cranberry plant, reducing yield as well as vine density. The female sex pheromone was identified as 2-tetradeca...

A glucose/hydrogen peroxide biofuel cell that uses oxidase and peroxidase as catalysts by composite bulk-modified bioelectrodes based on a solid binding matrix.

Bioelectrochemistry 56(1-2) , 99-105, (2002)

An improved composite bulk-modified bioelectrode setup based on a solid binding matrix (SBM) has been used to develop a glucose/hydrogen peroxide biofuel cell. Fuel is combined through a catalytically promoted reaction with oxygen into and oxidized species an...

Cycloalkanones. 9. Comparison of analogues which inhibit cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis.

J. Med. Chem. 19(10) , 1257-61, (1976)

A number of 2,8-dibenzylcyclooctanone analogues inhibited the HMG-CoA reductases activity of Holtzman male rat liver, whereas only 2-octanone, 2-hexadecanone, 2,8-dibenzylcyclooctanone derivatives, and 2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-4-pyrone inh...

Cycloalkanones. 8. Hypocholesterolemic activity of long-chain ketones related to pentadecanone.

J. Med. Chem. 19(2) , 219-22, (1976)

Aliphatic analogs of 2,8-dibenzylcyclooctanone which includes C15-C18 ketones have been investigated for hypocholesterolemic activity in rats. The position of the carbonyl group in the chain for maximum activity appears to be the 2 position. 2-Hexadecanone re...

Lipids in the femoral gland secretions of male Schreiber's green lizards, Lacerta schreiberi.

Z. Naturforsch., C, J. Biosci. 61(9-10) , 763-8, (2006)

In spite of the importance of chemoreception and chemical signals in social organization of lizards, only a few studies have examined the chemical composition of secretions that lizards use for intraspecific communication. The secretion of the femoral glands ...
