Demonstration of Antihistamine Properties with AST-1: A Bioactive Extract from Garden Slugs (Diplosolenodes occidentalis)

Issue: 
Pages: 
11–6
Synopsis: 
A bioactive extract from parched and ground garden slugs has H1-antihistamine properties which inhibited contraction of guinea pig in vitro tracheal muscle preparation and cutaneous allergic responses. These effects may be the scientific basis of a folklore use of slug material to control asthmatic attack that is most likely associated with allergy.

Choline Supplementation Facilitates Short-term Memory Consolidation into Intermediate Long-term Memory of Young Sprague-Dawley Rats

Issue: 
Pages: 
4–8
Synopsis: 
We examined the effects of choline supplementation in young Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were place into two groups and received either choline supplementation or vehicle over a period of two weeks. We found that the two-week choline supplementation in young rats improved the consolidation of short-term memory into intermediate long-term memory.
