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 influence of 17-β-estradiol on bioenergetic and estrogen metabolism in macrophages
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease influenced by a variety of factors in the tumour microenvironment (TME), including hormones such as estrogen, and immune cells such as macrophages. Imbalances in estrogen metabolism ... -
A metabolomics and biochemical investigation of selected brain regions from Ndufs4 knockout mice
(North-West University (South Africa)North-West University, 2020)Mitochondria, the organelles found throughout the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells, have essential functions which have been implicated in the etiology of numerous metabolic and degenerative diseases. The mitochondrial ... -
Urinary metabolomics investigation of Ndufs4 knockout mice
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Mitochondrial diseases (MDs) are the most common inborn errors of metabolism, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 1 in 5 000 live births, and are mainly caused by deficiencies of complex I (CI) of the oxidative ...
