Abalone growth and associated aspects: now from a metabolic perspective
(Wiley, 2018)Worldwide, there are approximately 100 Haliotis species, more commonly known as abalone or ‘Paua’ in New Zealand, ‘Venus's‐ears’ in Greece, ‘Awabi’ in Japan, ‘Perlemoen’ in South Africa and ‘Ormers’ in Europe. Regardless ... -
Application of metabolomics to identify functional metabolic changes associated with Haliotis midae growth
(North-West University, 2018)The South African abalone, "perlemoen" (as it is called locally) industry is largely based on farming with Haliotis midae, which has been commercially cultured in man-made shore-based systems with great success for the ... -
The case for development of 11-aza-artemisinins for malaria
(Bentham Science, 2015)The current treatment regimens for uncomplicated malaria comprise an artemisinin in combination with another drug (ACT). However, the recent emergence of resistance to ACTs in South East Asia dramatically emphasizes the ... -
Characterising the metabolic differences related to growth variation in farmed Haliotis midae
(Elsevier, 2018)The South African abalone farming industry is entirely based on Haliotis midae, which has been commercially cultured with great success the last 20 years. Even though abalone are cultivated under identical farming conditions, ... -
The cross-tissue metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to functional hypoxia
(The Company of Biologists, 2018)Functional hypoxia is a stress condition caused by the abalone itself as a result of increased muscle activity, which generally necessitates the employment of anaerobic metabolism if the activity is sustained for prolonged ... -
Determination of factors that influence reproductive conditions in cows in the rural farms of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District of the North West Province
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)Reproductive disorders in communal farming remain answerable to economic losses and poor reproductive performance. The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence the prevalence of reproductive conditions in ... -
The effect of Pheroid® technology on the bioavailability of artemisone in primates
(2014)Malaria is one the world’s most devastating diseases. Several classes of drugs are used to treat malaria. Artemisinin combination therapy is the first line treatment of uncomplicated malaria. The artemisinin derivative, ... -
Effect of proline‐enriched abalone feed on selected metabolite levels of slow‐growing adult Haliotis midae
(Wiley, 2019)Abalone is currently considered South Africa's most successfully produced aquacul‐ ture export product, with a 76% share of the total value generated by the aquaculture sector. A major risk factor for this sector is slow ... -
Evaluation of isolated fractions of aloe vera gel materials on indinavir pharmacokinetics: in vitro and in vivo studies
(Bentham Science, 2016)Aloe vera is a plant with a long history of traditional medicinal use and is consumed in different products, sometimes in conjunction with prescribed medicines. A. vera gel has shown the ability to modulate drug absorption ... -
Genetic polymorphism in dextromethorphan metabolism by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 enzyme isoforms
(North-West University, 2003)Most administered drugs are metabolised in the liver by Phase I enzymes and more importantly by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) system. The extent of first-pass metabolism is important in determining whether the drug will have ...
