Reflections on the first pan‐african conference on biochemistry and molecular biology
(Headington Hill Hall, 1997-07-01)
After a couple of years of consultations with leading biochemists/molecular biologists in
Africa and from abroad (playing advisory roles), the First Pan-African Conference on
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology was ...
Interaction of benzoquinones with mitochondria interferes with oxidative phosphorylation characteristics
(No longer published by Elsevier, 1990-08-06)
Studies with four benzoquinones, viz. juglone, embelin, maesaquinone and
maesanin, on rat liver mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation have been carried out. Three
of the benzoquinones are uncouplers in the order ...
Effects of graded doses of the pesticide heptachlor on body weight, mating success, oestrous cycle, gestation length and litter size in laboratory rats
(Pergamon, 1995-05-01)
Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with 5 or 20 mg/kg body weight
heptachlor solution every other day for up to 18 days. They were weighed every day and the
stage of oestrus determined by vaginal smears. ...
In vivo and in vitro effects of graded doses of the pesticide heptachlor on female sex steroid hormone production in rats
(Pergamon, 1995-05-01)
Adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with corn oil or 5 mg, 20 mg, 25
mg or 30 mg per kg body weight of heptachlor solution every other day for up to 18 days.
The rats were killed at the end of the experimental ...
The effect of Trypanosoma vivax infection on late pregnancy and postpartum return to cyclicity in Boran cattle
(Elsevier, 1996-10-01)
A study was designed to examine the effect of infection with Trypanosoma vivax
KETRI 2501 on the maintenance of pregnancy and postpartum return to reproductive
function in susceptible Galana (n= 6) and trypano-tolerant ...
Changes in the concentrations of testosterone, luteinising hormone and progesterone associated with administration of embelin
(Elsevier, 1991-10-01)
The mode of action of embelin, a naturally occurring plant benzoquinone with male
fertility regulating potential, was investigated. Sexually mature white New Zealand male
rabbits were injected intra-muscularly with ...
Thyroid status and adenosine triphosphataseactivity in experimental Trypanosoma congolense infection in rabbits
(Saunders, 1996-11-01)
Summary The effect of trypanosome infection on the plasma levels and ratios of tri-
iodothyronine (T 3) and thyroxine (T 4) as well as the activity of mitochondrial adenosine
triphosphatase (ATPase) were investigated. ...
Effect of naturally occurring plant quinones on insect flight muscle mitochondrial respiration
(FEDERATION AMER SOC EXP BIOL, 1997-07-31)
In vitro interstitial (Leydig) cell response to LH and concentrations of plasma testosterone and LH in the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber, Ruppell)
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1991-03-01)
Summary Reproductive endocrinology of the male naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber)
caught in the wild was studied. In vitro treatment of isolated Leydig cells using either normal
dose of LH capable of stimulating ...
Defects in resting metabolic rates and mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and dietary obese rats
(Springer-Verlag, 1991-07-01)
Resting metabolic rates have been measured and compared with hepatic
mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and diet-induced obese weaned rats. In
Kwashiorkor, resting metabolic rate was 21% lower than the value of ...
