Abnormalities of bone and mineral metabolism in patients with eating disorders
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Osteopenia is a well documented complication of anorexia nervosa (AN). The
pathogenesis of this bone loss is presently poorly defined in the literature.
Pathogenetic mechanisms that have been implicated ...
The impact of activation of the renin-angiotensin system in the development of insulin resistance in experimental models of obesity
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)
Insulin stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) in endothelial cells and cardiac
myocytes by a signalling pathway that involves the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1,
phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and protein ...

A pathologic role for angiotensin II and endothelin-1 in cardiac remodelling and ischaemia and reperfusion injury in a rat model of the metabolic syndrome
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-03)
Introduction: Obesity, which is implicated in the development of the metabolic

The effect of 5'-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) and 5'-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-ribonucleoside-phosphate (ZMP) on myocardial glucose uptake
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2005-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: Exercise increases skeletal muscle glucose uptake via AMP-activated

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Whistle Watch™, an innovative and commercialised peak flow monitor, inspired
this study, with its abnormal and complex measuring behaviour. The Whistle
Watch™ latter is an audible peak flow monitor ...
The effect of hypoxia on nitric oxide and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the whole heart and isolated cardiac cells: the role of the PI3–K / PKB pathway as a possible mediator.
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-03)
In the heart, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is regarded as the most
important constitutively expressed enzymatic source of nitric oxide (NO), a
major cardiac signalling molecule. On the whole, NO is regarded ...
