Arabidopsis thaliana

Arabidopsis thaliana, the thale cress, mouse-ear cress or arabidopsis, is a small plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to Eurasia and Africa.

Brassica

Brassica is a genus of plants in the cabbage and mustard family (Brassicaceae).

Coniferyl alcohol

Coniferyl alcohol is an organic compound with the formula HO(CH3O)C6H3CH.

See Pinoresinol and Coniferyl alcohol

Dirigent protein

Dirigent proteins are members of a class of proteins which dictate the stereochemistry of a compound synthesized by other enzymes.

See Pinoresinol and Dirigent protein

Enterolignan

Enterolignans are organic compounds formed by the action of gut microflora on lignans. Pinoresinol and Enterolignan are lignans.

See Pinoresinol and Enterolignan

Forsythia × intermedia, or border forsythia, is an ornamental deciduous shrub of garden origin.

Forsythia suspensa

Forsythia suspensa, commonly known as weeping forsythia or golden-bell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Oleaceae.

Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia, also called low blood sugar, is a fall in blood sugar to levels below normal, typically below 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L).

See Pinoresinol and Hypoglycemia

In vitro

In vitro (meaning in glass, or in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context.

See Pinoresinol and In vitro

Lignan

The lignans are a large group of low molecular weight polyphenols found in plants, particularly seeds, whole grains, and vegetables. Pinoresinol and lignan are lignans.

Olive oil

Olive oil is a liquid fat obtained by pressing whole olives, the fruit of Olea europaea, a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin, and extracting the oil.

Pieris rapae

Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae.

Sesame

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a plant in the genus Sesamum, also called simsim, benne or gingelly.

See Pinoresinol and Sesame

Stereoselectivity

In chemistry, stereoselectivity is the property of a chemical reaction in which a single reactant forms an unequal mixture of stereoisomers during a non-stereospecific creation of a new stereocenter or during a non-stereospecific transformation of a pre-existing one.

See Pinoresinol and Stereoselectivity

Styrax

StyraxEtymology: Ancient Greek styrax (στυραξ), the spike at the butt-end of a spear such as a xyston or a sarissa.
