Integration of HBV-DNA may not be a prerequisite for the maintenance of the state of malignant transformation. An analysis of 110 liver biopsies
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine, 1986)Hundred and ten liver biopsy specimens from various parts of the world were examined for episomal and integrated HBV-DNA sequences. In 54 patients with HBsAg chronic liver disease episomal HBV-DNA was found in 83% of ... -
Changes relevant to catecholamine metabolism in liver and brain of ascorbic acid deficient guinea-pigs
(University of Nairobi, KenyaCollege of Health Sciences, 1975)A chronic deficiency of ascorbic acid was induced in guinea pig. The level of catecholamines, copper and the activities of ceruplasmin, catecholamine oxidase, monoamineoxidase and acetylcholinesterase were checked in brain, ... -
