Opuntia Ficus Indica

La cochinilla Dactylopius coccus es un insecto de gran importancia industrial para la extracción del colorante rojo ácido carmínico. Se determinó el efecto de la cópula sobre la maduración del ovario. Para ello, se emplearon hembras copuladas y hembras vírgenes de tres meses de edad, contados desde la infestación de los cladodios de Opuntia ficus indica (en Montecillo, México). Se evaluaron las características morfofisiológicas del grado de madurez de sus ovariolas. La cópula no fue necesaria para que diera inicio la maduración de las ovariolas, ya que en las hembras vírgenes un bajo porcentaje de sus ovocitos lograron culminar adecuadamente la vitelogénesis y la coriogénesis; sin embargo, la cópula promovió ambos procesos, ya que aumentó notablemente la proporción de los ovocitos maduros que se producirán en las hembras copuladas. Del mismo modo, la falta de cópula en D. coccus fue un factor que indujo la degeneración de las ovariolas y, en consecuencia, la reabsorción de sus ovocitos.

Plant Parts

Opuntia ficus-indica(the cactus or prickly pear) is a cactus belonging to the Opuntiae family. Several Opuntiae plant parts have been used in traditional Moroccan medicine. In this study, we investigated its most common use as an analgesic. An ethnobotanical study ofOpuntia ficus-indicawas first conducted in 10 areas in Morocco. Extracts fromOpuntia ficus-indicacladodes were obtained using a decoction method and its analgesic activity in mice was investigated by the hot plate and tail flick methods. Cladode extracts had significant (p<0.05) analgesic activity at intraperitoneal doses of 300, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight. Both methods revealed significantly increased latency at all three doses (p<0.05) compared to controls. These data suggest that the traditional use of this plant as an analgesic is valid; in fact, perhaps it may be a centrally-acting analgesic.
