Preclinical assessment of a 68Ga-DOTA-functionalized depsipeptide as a radiodiagnostic infection imaging agent
(MDPI, 2017)The study assessed a radiolabeled depsipeptide conjugate (68Ga-DOTA-TBIA101) for its potential as an imaging agent targeting infection or infection-associated inflammation. 68Ga-labeled DOTA-TBIA101 imaging was performed ... -
A preclinical study of casein glycomacropeptide as a dietary intervention for acute mania
(Oxford Univ Press, 2018)Background Casein glycomacropeptide is a peptide that lacks phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. This profile may enable it to deplete phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and subsequently the synthesis of dopamine ... -
Prediction of 24-hour sodium excretion from spot urine samples in South African adults: a comparison of four equations
(Nature, 2020)Repeated 24-hour urine collection is considered to be the gold standard for assessing salt intake. This is often impractical in large-population studies, especially in low–middle-income countries. Equations to estimate ... -
Predictive utility of European derived genetic variants associated with type 2 diabetes in a black South African population
(Springer, 2016)Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is postulated to have a polygenic etiology. Recently, polygenic risk scores of variants associated with T2D have been noted to be of useful in predicting risk in multiple ethnicities as opposed to ... -
