This cluster of papers focuses on the clinical pharmacology, therapeutic significance, and metabolic effects of Policosanol, a new lipid-lowering agent, particularly in the context of hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemia. It also explores the phytochemical and pharmacological properties of Perilla frutescens, as well as the nutritional significance and antioxidant activity of non-centrifugal sugar.

How concentrated that is

The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
