Bioaccumulation and metal-associated biomarker responses in a freshwater mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, following short-term platinum exposure
(Elsevier, 2019)Due to the increasing presence of platinum (Pt) in the environment, the caveat arises to identify its toxic potential in species at risk of being exposed – especially those found in aquatic environments where pollutants ... -
The effects of radiolabelled agents used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, on inflammatory cytokines
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)This study was conducted to determine the effects that two radiolabelled compounds have on the inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers in xenograft Rowett nude (RNU) rat models. Safety and efficacy are of ... -
Flow cytometric analysis of the oxidative status in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of workers exposed to welding fumes
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)Flow cytometry is a simple analytical technique that identifies, counts, and characterizes cells. The oxidative status of cells is influenced by many exogenous sources, such as occupational exposure to welding fumes. This ... -
The involvement of lipid and protein oxidation in hypertension : the SABPA study
(North-West University, 2012)Oxidative stress, caused by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS)and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and/or a decrease in antioxidant capacity, can result in the oxidation of various bio-molecules, such as ... -
Preparation, stability and in vitro evaluation of liposomes containing amodiaquine
(North-West University, 2010)Malaria is a curable disease that claims nearly one million lives each year. Problems with the treatment of malaria arise as resistance spreads and new treatment options are becoming less effective. The need for new ... -
Urinary 1,4–dihydroxynonene mercapturic acid (DHN–MA) and 8–hydroxy–2'–deoxyguanosine (8–OHdG) as markers of oxidative damage : the SABPA study
(North-West University, 2010)The human body has evolved certain defence mechanisms to cope with the high occurrence of free radicals. These radicals are obtained endogenously from the mitochondria, peroxisomes, the cytochrome P450 (CYP 450) system and ...
