CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, ANTITERMITE, ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES, AND WOOD PROTECTION SYSTEMS FROM CANARIUM SCHWEINFURTHII (AIELE) RESIN FROM GABON

Chemical composition, antitermite, antifungal properties, and wood protection systems from Canarium schweinfurthii (Aiele) resin from Gabon

Abstract This work evaluates the antifungal and antitermite properties, as well as the contribution of three resin fractions, i.e., raw resin (RR), essential oil (EO) and purified resin (PR) of Canarium schweinfurthii (Aiele) from Gabon, to the durability of wood material.To this end, chemical analysis using gas chromatography coupled with mass spe

Convergent, functionally independent signaling by mu and delta opioid receptors in hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons

Functional interactions between G protein-coupled socks receptors are poised to enhance neuronal sensitivity to neuromodulators and therapeutic drugs.Mu and delta opioid receptors (MORs and DORs) can interact when overexpressed in the same cells, but whether co-expression of endogenous MORs and DORs in neurons leads to functional interactions is un
