Abalone growth and associated aspects: now from a metabolic perspective
(Wiley, 2018)Worldwide, there are approximately 100 Haliotis species, more commonly known as abalone or ‘Paua’ in New Zealand, ‘Venus's‐ears’ in Greece, ‘Awabi’ in Japan, ‘Perlemoen’ in South Africa and ‘Ormers’ in Europe. Regardless ... -
Characterising the metabolic differences related to growth variation in farmed Haliotis midae
(Elsevier, 2018)The South African abalone farming industry is entirely based on Haliotis midae, which has been commercially cultured with great success the last 20 years. Even though abalone are cultivated under identical farming conditions, ... -
The cross-tissue metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to functional hypoxia
(The Company of Biologists, 2018)Functional hypoxia is a stress condition caused by the abalone itself as a result of increased muscle activity, which generally necessitates the employment of anaerobic metabolism if the activity is sustained for prolonged ... -
Determination of factors that influence reproductive conditions in cows in the rural farms of the Ngaka Modiri Molema District of the North West Province
(Kamla-Raj, 2016)Reproductive disorders in communal farming remain answerable to economic losses and poor reproductive performance. The aim of this study was to identify factors that influence the prevalence of reproductive conditions in ... -
Effect of proline‐enriched abalone feed on selected metabolite levels of slow‐growing adult Haliotis midae
(Wiley, 2019)Abalone is currently considered South Africa's most successfully produced aquacul‐ ture export product, with a 76% share of the total value generated by the aquaculture sector. A major risk factor for this sector is slow ... -
Evaluation of isolated fractions of aloe vera gel materials on indinavir pharmacokinetics: in vitro and in vivo studies
(Bentham Science, 2016)Aloe vera is a plant with a long history of traditional medicinal use and is consumed in different products, sometimes in conjunction with prescribed medicines. A. vera gel has shown the ability to modulate drug absorption ... -
Investigation of hepatic warfarin metabolism activity in rodenticide-resistant black rats (Rattus rattus) in Tokyo by in situ liver perfusion
(Elsevier, 2018)Anti-blood coagulation rodenticides, such as warfarin, have been used all over the world. They inhibit vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR), which is necessary for producing several blood clotting factors. This inhibition ... -

Metabolomics as an approach to characterise the contrasting roles of CCR5 in the presence and absence of disease
(MDPI, 2020)Chemokine receptors such as C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) are activated through interaction with their ligands and are well known for their role in chemotaxis and signal transduction. While serving these roles, cellular ... -
Metabolomics of mitochondrial disease
(Elsevier, 2017)Mitochondrial disease (MD) diagnostics and disease progression investigations have traditionally relied very little on metabolic data, due to a lack of biomarker sensitivity and specificity. The recent drive to find novel, ...
