Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry profiles of urinary organic acids in healthy captive cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus )
(Elsevier, 2017)In captivity, cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus) frequently suffer from several unusual chronic diseases that rarely occur in their free-ranging counterparts. In order to develop a better understanding of their metabolism and ... -
Improving a biosignature for respiratory chain deficiencies in a South African cohort
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Mitochondria are the cell’s main energy producing site, found in the cytoplasm of nearly all eukaryotic cells. These organelles generate cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), mostly by means of the ... -
Investigating the effect of anaesthesia on the metabolism of zebrafish (D. rerio)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)In recent years, zebrafish (D. rerio) have emerged as valuable research models, being widely used as models for aquaculture research, but also to model human metabolic diseases. The ethical guidelines stipulate that ... -
A metabolomics approach to characterise and identify various Mycobacterium species
(Elsevier, 2012)We investigated the potential use of gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS), in combination with multivariate statistical data processing, to build a model for the classification of various tuberculosis (TB) causing, ... -
The phytochemical content and anti-diabetic properties of Aloe ferox and Aloe greatheadii var. davyana
(North-West University, 2009)Motivation: Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease considered to be one of the five leading causes of death worldwide, characterized by hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia as a result of altered glucose and lipid ... -
Synthesis, characterisation and properties of fulvic acid, derived from a carbohydrate
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2019)Introduction: Human and animal health is constantly threatened by pathogenic microbes and the emergence of bacteria resistant to standard medicinal interventions has escalated the search for new and innovative pharmaceutical ... -
Total metabolome extraction from mycobacterial cells for GC-MS metabolomics analysis
(Humana, 2019)Over the past 10 years, the number of metabolomics based publications in the available scientific literature has exponentially grown, a large portion of which describing new biomarkers better elucidating microbial disease ... -
Untargeted metabolite profiling of abalone using gas chromatography mass spectrometry
(Springer, 2016)Abalone meat is a delicacy worldwide, fetching high prices and a valuable source of income for the many countries farming and exporting this commodity. The quality of abalone is based on its unique sensory properties and ...
