    The impact of activation of the renin-angiotensin system in the development of insulin resistance in experimental models of obesity 

    Perel, Shireen J. C. (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 ...

    Acrosome size and kinematics of human spermatozoa 

    Murray, George M. (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2007-03)
    For spermatozoa to gain access to the oocyte for fertilization, lytic enzymes need to be released during the acrosome reaction. These enzymes, which are stored and transported within an organelle termed the acrosome, ...

    Role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3) and its substrate proteins in the development of cardiomyopathy associated with obesity and insulin resistance 

    Flepisi, Thabile Brian (Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011-03)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a serine-threonine protein kinase that was first discovered as a regulator of glycogen synthase thus playing a role in glycogen synthesis (Embi et al. ...
