Ripe bananas contain clinically promising SAPs and may represent a cheap and palatable means of administering SAPs to the pharyngeal mucosa. However, little is known regarding how long administered SAPs are retained on biological surfaces. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | International Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine Conference, Armidale, Australia, 13th - 15th March, 2009 | Source of Publication: | International Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine Conference Program and Abstracts, p. 37-37 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111501 Basic Pharmacology 111603 Systems Physiology |
