Potential for increasing folate contents of traditional African fermented sorghum gruel (Motoho) using presumptive probiotic lactic acid bacteria
(Elsevier, 2023)
Folate deficiency is commonly observed in most developing countries. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of
cereal-based foods could be an alternative to improving folate intake. This study evaluated the possibility ...
Use of a rat ex-vivo testis culture method to assess toxicity of select known male reproductive toxicants
(Elsevier, 2016)
Due to the complex physiology of the testes, in vitro models have been largely unsuccessful at modeling testicular toxicity in vivo. We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the utility of the Durand ex vivo rat seminiferous ...
A plant-produced SARS-CoV-2 spike protein elicits heterologous immunity in hamsters
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Molecular farming of vaccines has been heralded as a cheap, safe and scalable
production platform. In reality, however, differences in the plant biosynthetic
machinery, compared to mammalian cells, can complicate the ...
Fiber type and metabolic characteristics of skeletal muscle in 16 breeds of domestic dogs
(Wiley, 2023)
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) species comprises hundreds of
breeds, each differing in physical characteristics, behavior, strength, and running
capability. Very little is known about the skeletal muscle ...
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis: Case report with history of urticaria, petechiae and palpable pinpoint purpura triggered by medical abortion
(South African Medical Association, 2016)
Autoimmune progesterone dermatitis (APD) is a rare autoimmune response to raised endogenous progesterone levels that occur during the
luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Cutaneous, mucosal lesions and other systemic ...
Critical evaluation of two models of flow cytometers for the assessment of sperm DNA fragmentation: an appeal for performance verification
(Medknow Publications, 2019)
Lack of standardized, reproducible protocols and reference values is among the challenges faced when using new or upgraded
versions of instruments in reproductive laboratories and flow cytometry. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl ...
Effects of temperature and storage time on the motility, viability, DNA integrity and apoptosis of processed human spermatozoa
(Wiley, 2019)
The aim of this study was to evaluate motility, viability, DNA integrity and apoptosis of
spermatozoa when washed semen samples were kept for up to 12 days at 4–6°C and
25°C. In this experimental study, 26 normozoospermic ...
Microplastic sources, formation, toxicity and remediation: A review
(Springer, 2023)
Microplastic pollution is becoming a major issue for human health due to the recent discovery of microplastics in most
ecosystems. Here, we review the sources, formation, occurrence, toxicity and remediation methods of ...
