Defects in resting metabolic rates and mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and dietary obese rats.
(Biomembranes and Bioenergetics Research Laboratory, Ogun State University, Ago-Iwoye, Nigeria., 1991)Resting metabolic rates have been measured and compared with hepatic mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and diet-induced obese weaned rats. In Kwashiorkor, resting metabolic rate was 21% lower than the value of ... -

In vitro metabolism of progesterone by peripheral blood of rock hyrax (Procavia capensis).
(Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1991)In vitro metabolism of progesterone by hyrax whole blood, erythrocytes, or plasma in the presence or absence of NADPH was investigated. In the presence of NADPH, whole blood metabolized progesterone to 5 alpha-pregnanedione ... -

Census-based information systems for ethnic groups: a study of Leeds and Bradford
(1984)"In this paper are explored the problems involved in using Census data as a guide to the evolving ethnic geography of British cities. The relationship between the concept of ethnicity and Census questions on place of birth ... -
Hepatitis delta virus infection in Kenya. Its geographic and tribal distribution.
(University of NairobiSchool of medicine, 1986-03)In 1982-1984, an epidemiologic survey of the prevalence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) in circulating blood (HBs-antigenemia) and of hepatitis delta virus infection was performed in Kenya. The distributions ... -
A rare form of solitary osteocartilaginous exostosis from anterior iliac spine: report of two cases
(University of NairobiCollege of Health Sciences, 1982)Occurrence of exostosis from the metaphyseal regions of long bones and sometimes from the flat bones is well known. In the pelvis these lesions are almost invariably of the sessile variety. Tubular exostosis from the ... -
Changes in the concentrations of testosterone, luteinising hormone and progesterone associated with administration of embelin.
(Biochemistry, University of Nairobi, 1991-09)The mode of action of embelin, a naturally occurring plant benzoquinone with male fertility regulating potential, was investigated. Sexually mature white New Zealand male rabbits were injected intra-muscularly with embelin ... -
Identification and isolation of three acetylcholinesterase inactivating fractions in the venom of Dendroaspis angusticeps.
(University of NairobiCollege of Health Sciences, 1982)Three fractions were isolated from the venom of Dendroaspis angusticeps by column chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-25. All the three fractions were shown to possess acetylcholinesterase inhibiting activity. The toxicity of ... -

Delayed recovery of adrenocortical and testicular function after chemotherapy of human trypanosomiasis.
(Zoology, University of Nairobi, 1994)The following indicators of pituitary, adreno-cortical and testicular function were measured in 58 male African trypanosomiasis patients from Western Kenya; plasma cortisol, luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone levels. ... -
