Experimental diabetes in the baboon.
(1979)The object of the present study was to determine simultaneously aspects of hepatic and peripheral glucose metabolism in the intact baboon. Isotopic techniques were used to study glucose turnover rates, glucose recycling, ... -
Non-insulin-dependent diabetes in young Indians : a clinical and biochemical study.
(1982)One of the earliest recorded references to polyuria is found in the Papyrus Ebers (1500 BC) and much later the occurrence of "honey urine" was noted by an ancient Hindu physician, Sushrutha, in old Indian Sanskrit (400 ... -
Studies on insulin secretion and insulin resistance in non-insulin- dependent diabetes in young Indians.
(1986)No abstract available. -
Control of prostaglandin biosynthesis by the intrauterine tissues in primary dysfunctional human labour.
(1987)No abstract available. -
Characteristics of insulin receptors in a human lymphoblastoid cell line (Raji).
(1988)The notion that insulin binds to a specific site on the cell membrane was first proposed many years ago. However, experimental proof of a membrane bound insulin receptor did not come until the early 1970s when biologically ... -
Development of a monoclonal antibody-based immunoradiometric assay for the measurement of the free alpha-subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin.
(1990)Almost a century has elapsed since the antigen-antibody interaction was first recognised as the basis of an immune response (Ehrlich, 1897). However, it was only in the 1930s, with the development of improved technologies ... -
Apolipoprotein E allele distribution in a South African Indian female population : effect on the lipid profile.
(1993)Genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein (apo) E has been shown to account for a significant amount of variance in plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels, thereby contributing to the incidence of cardiovascular disease across ... -
Red cell membrane abnormalities in hereditary spherocytosis patients of KwaZulu-Natal.
(2006)Hereditary Spherocytosis (HS) is a common inherited haemolytic anaemia with variable clinical expression. Fifty subjects with HS from KwaZulu-Natal were studied with the aim of providing further information on the protein ... -
Cellular and biochemical effects induced by antiretroviral drugs.
(2013)In the treatment of HIV/AIDS, protease inhibitors (PIs) and nucleoside/nucleotide analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are the major components of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The side effects ... -
Evaluation of the utilisation of semi-quantitative procalcitonin versus C-reactive protein for the diagnosis of infection in a Hospital paediatric population,with particular reference to utilisation in suspected bacterial meningitis.
(2019)Background: The high mortality and morbidity due to bacterial infections such as meningitis, alongside the long turnaround times for gold standard microscopy and culture testing, warrants alternative laboratory tests such ...
