Assessment of nitrate pollution in groundwater (Chaneng Village, Rustenburg)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Groundwater plays a vital role in the water provision for the areas that are so remote in such a way that rendering municipal services (piped water) proves to be cumbersome. While deemed so essential, it is also prone to ... -
Beetroot juice is more beneficial than sodium nitrate for attenuating muscle pain after strenuous eccentric-bias exercise
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2017)The aim of this study was to compare the effects of beetroot juice (BTJ) and a nitrate only drink (sodium nitrate; SN) on indices of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty recreationally active males consumed either ... -
Blood pressure with nitrate exposure: back-to-basics with fresh fruits and vegetables
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Much as the advancements are changing modern medicine, systemic hypertension still remains the largest attributable risk factor for mortality worldwide.1 Each 2 mm Hg increase in systolic blood pressure (BP) increases ... -
Nitric oxide-related markers link inversely to blood pressure in black boys and men: the ASOS and African-PREDICT studies
(Springer, 2020)Nitric oxide plays an important role in maintaining endothelial function, while increased oxidative stress may lead to nitric oxide inactivation and cardiovascular disease. If nitric oxide biosynthesis/bioavailability is ... -
Phosphatase activities of riverine phytoplankton in the Vaal river (South Africa) : physiological responses of nuisance species to different nutrient regimes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2002)The theme of this thesis is the ecophysiological basis for development of massoccurrences of phytoplankton species in aquatic environments. Research concerning the reasons for harmful algal bloom (HAB) formation has been ... -
Size-resolved characteristics of inorganic ionic species in atmospheric aerosols at a regional background site on the South African Highveld
(Springer, 2018)Aerosols consist of organic and inorganic species, and the composition and concentration of these species depends on their sources, chemical transformation and sinks. In this study an assessment of major inorganic ions ...
