TL;DR: Current studies show that natural products represent a rich potential source of new anti-dengue compounds, and further ethnobotanical surveys and laboratory investigations are needed to established the potential of identified species in contributing to dengue control.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of metabolomic studies carried out in previous and recent years on obesity and type 2 diabetes, which have shown potential metabolic biomarkers for further evaluation of the diseases are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the idea of long chain fatty acid-induced mitochondrial dysfunctions as one of the key events in the pathophysiological development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current studies on ethnomedicinal practices, phytochemistry, pharmacological studies and a potential study of Acalypha indica in different locations around the world to provide a useful and basic knowledge platform for anyone interested in gaining information about this plant.

TL;DR: Alkaline pretreatment by using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is capable in removing high lignin content as well as maintaining the highest cellulose and hemicelluloses content which is a possible pretreatment for preparation of oil palm fronds (OPF) for reducing sugar production via enzymatic hydrolysis as discussed by the authors.
