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 ...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms in amlodipine-associated genes and their correlation with blood pressure control among South African adults with hypertension
(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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
In-vitro cytotoxicity, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of ecklonia radiataand jania verrucosafrom Eastern Cape, South Africa
(University of Benin, 2022)
Seaweeds are marine floras constituting in part to over 90% of the oceanic biomass. Despite the enrichments of seaweeds, their potentials are largely unexplored. Hence, this study evaluated the phytochemical screening, ...
