Description

XXIII Encontro Nacional da Sociedade Portuguesa de Química. Aveiro, 12-14 de Junho 2013. The structure and spectroscopic characterization of the isolated compounds from etanol and dichloromethane extracts (PUFA omega3 ethylated, sterol and a rare wax) will be presented and discussed. Concerning the effect of ethanolic extract on mice testicular tissue under carbon tetrachloride exposure, it was clearly demonstrated that ethanol extract had a protective effect.
