Animal secretions

Homeopathic remedies are very low dose therapeutical preparations produced from different source materials/substances (e.g. extracts from plants or animal tissues, animal secretions, minerals or chemical substances). The source substances are processed and diluted with water under defined conditions. The diluted homeopathic remedy (also called preparation) is then applied to the animal orally either as a liquid or after application of the remedy onto... 

It is the existence of these organs that many of the Families of Lepidoptera, especially among the moths, owe the continuance of the species. They operate in the association of the sexes, with such an irrestible and far-reaching force as to exceed our conception and to be marvelous to our eyes.. ..

Sucrose is fermented by nearly all yeasts (1894,1898). Inversion precedes fermentation (1895). Of various animal secretions tried, the only one effective in cleaving sucrose was that from the mucous membrane of the small intestines of several animals (1896). Sucrose was found to be unaffected by emulsin (in 1894). An approximately correct formula for sucrose had been published in 1883 its shortcomings were the incorrect ring size for the glucose residue and the uncertainty regarding configurations at the interlinked carbonyl groups. 

Uric acid is found in the urine, blood, and muscle juices of carnivorous animals (herbivorous animals secrete hippuric acid), in the excrement of birds, serpents and insects, and is an oxidation product of the complex nitrogenous compounds of the animal organism. 

The first example of a halogenated bipyrrole was the marine bacterium Chromobacterium sp. metabolite 35 <74MB281>. Both nudibranchs (sea slugs) and bryozoans (moss animals) secrete brominated bipyrroles ("tambjamines") as chemical defensive agents. Some recent examples from the bryozoan Bugula dentata are tambjamines G-J (36-39) <94AJC1625>. 

Pearls are growths that form inside the shells of mollusks, usually in response to the presence of a parasite or other irritant. They are composed of layers of nacre that the animal secretes over the foreign body. Pearls tend to be the same color as the nacre inside the shell. Sometimes pearls are loose, forming in the mantle cavity, and sometimes they become attached to the inside of the shell. These latter pearls are called blisters and may contain rotten organic matter or a smaller, loose pearl.
