Blood glucose and nocturnal blood pressure in African and Caucasian men : the SABPA study
(North-West University, 2010)Motivation - Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus are common in the black population of South Africa. The literature also shows that elevated blood glucose concentrations can lead to an increase in blood pressure and ... -
Blood glucose and nocturnal blood pressure in African and caucasian men: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2011)To investigate the relationship between nocturnal blood pressure and chronically elevated blood glucose to determine if these elevated blood glucose concentrations contribute to a non-dipping blood pressure, especially in ... -
Development of enzymatic assays using a universal detection system based on nanotechnology
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Nanotechnology offers the technological potential that can be harnessed to deal with the diagnostic challenges in resource-constrained settings. Optical biosensors based on nanotechnology have being explored for biomedical ... -
Dietary calcium intake and obesity in adult women : the POWIRS study
(North-West University, 2004)Background: The role of dietary calcium in weight management is gaining support in the nutrition research community. It has been hypothesized that high calcium diets protect against fat gain by creating a balance of lipolysis ... -
The effect of protein and fat meal content on the insulin requirement of type 1 diabetic children
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)BACKGROUND AND AIMS : In type 1 diabetes, post-prandial hyperglycaemia remains a major challenge. Determining meal bolus insulin is mainly dependent on carbohydrate counting and the carbohydrate content of a meal. Recent ... -
The effect of the glycaemic index of a pre-exercise meal on the glycaemic and insulin responses during acute exercise
(North-West University (South-Africa), 1999)Introduction : The objectives of this study were to examine the role of the glycaemic index of a pre-exercise meal, ingested 1 hour before an acute exercise test (15 -20 min), on the metabolic profile of elite athletes ... -
Evaluating several biomarkers as predictors of aortic stiffness in young and older Africans, not consuming alcohol based on self-report
(Elsevier, 2018)Aims Black populations from sub-Saharan Africa have a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, which places significant strain on public health systems. Aortic stiffness is a prominent risk factor for cardiovascular ... -
Physiological response to angling of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)Angling fraternities widely promote catch-and-release (C&R) as a fisheries management tool. This study aimed to determine the physiological response of Africa’s premier freshwater angling species, the tigerfish Hydrocynus ... -
Protein and fat meal content increase insulin requirement in children with type 1 diabetes: role of duration of diabetes
(Elsevier, 2017)Background and objective Hyperglycaemia remains a challenge in type 1 diabetes since current regimes used to determine meal insulin requirements prove to be ineffective. This is particularly problematic for meals containing ...
