Cross-sectional study of the association of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms with enalapril treatment response among South African adults with hypertension
Masilela, Charity; Pearce, Brendon; Ongole, Joven J.; Adeniyi, Oladele V.; Johnson, Rabia; Benjeddou, Mongi (NLM (Medline), 2021-11-19)This study investigates the association of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in selected genes (ABO, VEGFA, BDKRB2, NOS3, and ADRB2) with blood pressure (BP) response to enalapril. The study further assessed genetic ... -
Development of infectious transcripts and genome manipulation of black queen-cell virus of honey bees
Benjeddou, Mongi; Leat, Neil; Allsopp, Mike (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 ... -

Benjeddou, Mongi; Etsassala, Ninon G.E.R.; Ndjoubi, Kadidiatou O. (2020)The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), considered one of the most common metabolic disorders, has dramatically increased and resulted in higher rates of morbidity and mortality around the world in the past decade. It ... -
The potential of chalcone-capped gold nanoparticles for the management of diabetes mellitus
Pearce, Brendon; Benjeddou, Mongi; Botha, Subelia; Omolaja, Akinfenwa, A; Omuruyia, Sylvester, I; Badmus, Jelili, A; Ismail, Enas; Marnewick, Jeanine; Ekpob, Okobi, E; Hussein, Ahmed, A (Surfaces and Interfaces, 2021-08)Searching for new natural bioactive capping agents represent an urgent priority in the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Additionaly, the biosaftey of metal nanparticles is a major concern especially in medical ... -
Prevalence, patterns and determinants of dyslipidaemia among South African adults with comorbidities
Masilela, Charity; Adeniyi, Oladele Vincent; Benjeddou, Mongi (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 ... -
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in amlodipine-associated genes and their correlation with blood pressure control among South African adults with hypertension
Masilela, Charity; Adeniyi, Oladele Vincent; Benjeddou, Mongi (MDPI, 2022)This study describes the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in amlodipineassociated genes and assesses their correlation with blood pressure control among South African adults with hypertension. Methods: In total, ...
