Nightshades are unique because they contain small amounts of alkaloids. Alkaloids are chemicals that are mainly found in plants. For something to be considered an alkaloid, it must contain nitrogen and affect the human body, usually from a medicinal perspective. Morphine and quinine are two ...
that Ligustilide has strong antispasmodic, antiasthmatic, and sedative effects, can improve microcirculation, relax smooth muscles, inhibit bacteria, and improve the body's immune regulatory function. It is a typical representative of phthalide compounds. It is mostly found in Umbelliferae plants such ...
The AHAs are organic acids sourced from fruit, plants or even milk, which have both moisturising and exfoliating effects on our skin. The most well-known AHAs are certainly Glycolic Acid (from sugar cane), lactic acid, citric acid (found in citrus fruits), malic acid (from apples) and ...
While nobody seems to know for sure, it is a common belief that nightshades are called this because many of the plants grown in shady areas and/or they flower at night. Nightshade Allergies and Intolerance All of the plants in the family of nightshades containalkaloids (chemical compounds) ...

Resveratrol (RSV) is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound originating from different plants such as rhubarb, grapes, and peanuts. RSV downregulates the expression of SREBP-1, ChREBP, and ADRP through the JAML/Sirt1 lipid synthesis pathway, which in turn reduces renal lipid deposition and li...
Insect herbivores have evolved a broad spectrum of adaptations in response to the diversity of chemical defences employed by plants. Here we focus on two species of New Guinean Asota and determine how these specialist moths deal with the leaf alkaloids of their fig (Ficus)hosts. As each focal...
The best-known group of these compounds is the indole alkaloids, members of which have been isolated from plants representing more than 30 families. References 1.Dendritic Nanotechnologies, Inc. Dendritic polymers with enhanced amplification and interior functionality. WO2006/115547[P], 2006, A2, ...
Goats should avoid eating onions, garlic, and alliums as they can cause anemia. Potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants, which are part of the nightshade family, contain harmful compounds like solanine and glycoalkaloids. Rhubarb leaves are highly poisonous to goats due to the presence of oxalic acid...
