Betulinic acid prevents alcohol-induced liver damage by improving the antioxidant system in mice
Download2014-01-01
Yi, Jine, Xia, Wei, Wu, Jianping, Yuan, Liyun, Wu, Jing, Tu, Di, Fang, Jun, Tan, Zhuliang
Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic lupane-type triterpene, has a wide range of bioactivities. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of BA and the potential mechanism underlying the ability of this compound to prevent liver damage induced by alcohol in vivo....

Beyond reduction and pluralism: toward an epistemology of explanatory integration in biology
Download2010
The paper works towards an account of explanatory integration in biology, using as a case study explanations of the evolutionary origin of novelties—a problem requiring the integration of several biological fields and approaches. In contrast to the idea that fields studying lower level phenomena...

Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio–temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions
Download2022-01-01
Jonathan R. Potts, Valeria Giunta, Mark A. Lewis
A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio–temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models....
