The effects of chronic melatonin treatment on myocardial function and ischaemia and reperfusion injury in a rat model of diet-induced obesity
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Obesity is a major risk factor for ischaemic heart disease. Obesity-induced metabolic
abnormalities have been associated with increased oxidative stress which may play an
important role in the increased ...

(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: Obesity and its associated complications, such as the metabolic syndrome, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, are escalating worldwide. In recognition of this, untested remedies advertised ...
The role of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) protein in the development of myocardial hypertrophy in a rat model of diet induced obesity and insulin resistance
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: The worldwide escalation in the incidence of obesity and its strong association
with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and the cardiovascular complications that accompany
these disease ...
The effect of CPT-1 inhibition on myocardial function and resistance to ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rodent model of the metabolic syndrome
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2010-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Obesity is associated with dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and together these components characterise the metabolic syndrome (Dandona et al. 2005). In the state of ...
