Uncovering the metabolic response of abalone (Haliotis midae) to environmental hypoxia through metabolomics
(Springer, 2018)
Introduction
Oxygen is essential for metabolic processes and in the absence thereof alternative metabolic pathways are required for energy production, as seen in marine invertebrates like abalone. Even though hypoxia has ...
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 ...
Novel insights into the pharmacometabonomics of first-line tuberculosis drugs relating to metabolism, mechanism of action and drug-resistance
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
The World Health Organization recommends the directly observed therapy short-course (DOTS) regimen, a combination of four first-line antibiotics (isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol), for the treatment of ...
The altered human serum metabolome induced by a marathon
(Springer, 2018)
Introduction
Endurance races have been associated with a substantial amount of adverse effects which could lead to chronic disease and long-term performance impairment. However, little is known about the holistic metabolic ...
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 ...
Metabolomics of colistin methanesulfonate treated Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2018)
Over the past 5 years, there has been a renewed interest in finding new compounds with anti-TB action. Colistin methanesulfonate or polymyxin E, is a possible anti-TB drug candidate, which may in future be used either alone ...
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, ...
Elucidating the antimicrobial mechanisms of colistin sulfate on Mycobacterium tuberculosis using metabolomics
(Elsevier, 2018)
Considering the disadvantageous of first line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs, including poor patient adherence, drug side effects, the long treatment duration and rapidly increasing microbe resistance, alternative treatment ...
