Prevalence, patterns and determinants of dyslipidaemia among South African adults with comorbidities
(Nature Research, 2022)
The present study assessed the prevalence, patterns and determinants of dyslipidaemia among South African adults with multi-morbidities. In this study, 614 individuals with DM and hypertension were recruited. Dyslipidaemia ...
Flavonoid and phenolic acid profiles of dehulled and whole vigna subterranea (l.) Verdc seeds commonly consumed in South Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Bambara groundnut (BGN) is an underexploited crop with a rich nutrient content and
is used in traditional medicine, but limited information is available on the quantitative characterization
of its flavonoids and phenolic ...
The determination of the effect(s) of solute carrier family 22‑member 2 (SLC22A2) haplotype variants on drug binding via molecular dynamic simulation systems
(Nature Research, 2022)
Single nucleotide polymorphisms detected in the solute carrier member family-22 has been shown to
result in a variable response in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with Metformin. This study
predicted a ...
GlobalFiler® express DNA amplification kit in South Africa: Extracting the past from the present
(Elsevier, 2016)
In this study, the GlobalFiler1 Express amplification kit was evaluated for forensic use in 541 South
African individuals belonging to the Afrikaaner, amaXhosa,1 amaZulu,1 Asian Indian and Coloured
population groups.

Genetic polymorphisms and haplotypes of the organic cation transporter 1 gene (SLC22A1) in the Xhosa population of South Africa
(Brazilian Society of Genetics, 2014)
Human organic cation transporter 1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes and mediates the electrogenic transport of
various endogenous and exogenous compounds, including clinically important drugs. Genetic polymorphisms ...
The antioxidant and in vitro wound healing activity of cotyledon orbiculata aqueous extract and the synthesized biogenic silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2022)
The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biogenic methods, particularly plants, has led to
the discovery of several effective nanoparticles. In many instances, plant-derived silver nanoparticles
have been shown to ...
Comparative proteomics analysis between maize and sorghum uncovers important proteins and metabolic pathways mediating drought tolerance
(MDPI, 2023)
Drought severely affects crop yield and yield stability. Maize and sorghum are major crops
in Africa and globally, and both are negatively impacted by drought. However, sorghum has a better
ability to withstand drought ...
Development of infectious transcripts and genome manipulation of black queen-cell virus of honey bees
(Microbiology Society, 2002)
The South African isolate of Black queen-cell virus (BQCV), a honey bee virus, was previously found
to have an 8550 nucleotide genome excluding the poly(A) tail. Its genome contained two ORFs, a
5«-proximal ORF encoding ...
Descriptive epidemiology of and response to the high pathogenicity avian influenza (h5n8) epidemic in South African coastal seabirds, 2018
(Wiley, 2023)
High pathogenicity avian infuenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4b H5N8 virus was detected in coastal seabirds in late 2017 in South Africa,
following a devastating epidemic in the commercial poultry and ostrich industries. By May ...
