The Illegal Use of Synthetic Pharmaceuticals in Herbal Formulations: An Overview of Adulteration Practices and Analytical Investigations.

Forensic science review

de Carvalho LM, Moreira AP, Martini M, Falcão T.
PMID: 26231236
Forensic Sci Rev. 2011 Jul;23(2):73-89.

Alternative medicine has historically been very popular in developing countries. In this context, self-medication with herbal formulations has increased in both developing and developed nations in recent years. The adulteration of such formulations violates the laws of many countries...

Monitoring of nitrite, nitrate, chloride and sulfate in environmental samples using electrophoresis microchips coupled with contactless conductivity detection.

This report describes the development of an analytical methodology on microchip electrophoresis (ME) devices coupled with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) to monitor inorganic anions in environmental samples. The buffer composition as well as detection operating parameters were...

Leptin modulates human Sertoli cells acetate production and glycolytic profile: a novel mechanism of obesity-induced male infertility?.

Biochimica et biophysica acta

Martins AD, Moreira AC, Sá R, Monteiro MP, Sousa M, Carvalho RA, Silva BM, Oliveira PF, Alves MG.
