THE ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PORCINE ERYTHROCYTE Ca2+ - ADENOCINE TRIPHOSPHATASE
(1985-10)The Ca2+- pumping adenosine triphosphatase, Ca2+-ATPase, (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3), was purified from porcine erythrocyte membranes by calmodulin affinity chromatography in the presence of phosphatidylcholine and ... -
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE RED CELL MEMBRANES AND THE CALCIUM-PUMPING ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATASE IN SOME MAMMALIAN SPECIES
(1984-05)Erythrocyte ghost membranes were isolated from blood samples obtained from five mammalian species, namely: (i) human (Homo sapiens), (ii) bovine (Bos taurus), (iii) porcine (Sus scrofa melitensis), (iv) ovine (Ovis aries ... -
CHEMICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON LEAF PROTEINS
(1978-08)Six leafy green vegetables commonly incorporated into diets by the Ibos of Anambra and Imo States of Nigeria have been used in this study. The vegetables were: Telfairia ocoidentalis, Celosia ,argeltea 'green' Celosia ... -
THE EFFECT OF DIET AND AFLATOXIN INTAKE OF BLOOD-CLOTTING TIME AND SOME SERUM CONSTITUENTS IN NON-HUMAN PRIMATE
(1977-09)The effects of diet and aflatoxin intake on blood coagulation and serum lipid levels investigated in four different species of non-human primates namely, Carcopithecus aethiops Tantalus, Erythrocebus patas, Cercopithecus ... -
THE INTRINSIC ANATOMICAL ORGANIZATION OF THE CUNEO-GRACILE NUCLEI COMPLEX OF THE RAT
(1977-02-23)The studies making up the thesis were aimed towards elucidating the intrinsic structural organization of the cuneo-gracile nuclei complex. The rat was the experimental animal of choice but limited data were collected from ... -
ANTIBIOTIC PROPERTIES OF AFFLATOXIN AND SOME OTHER FLOURECENT METABOLITES OF ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS (LINK)
(1971-06)Concentration of constituent of a modius, Ph, and age are known to influence the quality and quantity of metabolites produced by micro-organisms in media. The effects of variation of these parameters on the production of ... -
NITROSAMINE CONTAMINATION OF SOME NIGERIAN BEVERAGES
(1976-09)N-Nitrosamines are amongst the most potent and versatile experimental carcinogens ever tested on laboratory animals. As a result, their presence and that of their precursors in food meant for human consumption is a possible ... -
A BIOMEDICAL STUDY OF PALMWINE FROM DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF ELAEIS GUINEENSIS
(1966-09)Paper chromatographic analysis of palmwine has shown that it contains sugars, amino acids and organic acids. Six sugars and sugar derivatives identified were fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose, and glueuronic ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE ROLE OF NEURO-HUMORAL FACTORS IN PEPTIC ULCERATION
(1977-02)Using as experimental models, chronic and acute peptic ulcerations produced in rats by means of prolonged starvation and indomethacin, the role of (i) the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal-neuro secretory system (H.N.N.S_) and ... -
THE EFFECT OF DIET ON THE METABOLISM OF AFLATOXIN IN THE MAMMAL
(1968-04)The metabolic fate of aflatoxin is of interest in connection with studies related to the mode of action of hepatotoxins in the induction of liver tumors. The ability of the toxin to interact with sub-cellular particles and ... -
COBALT AND IRON CONSUMPTION IN MAN ( A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TH E FACTORS REGULATING ABSORPTION IN SUBJECT WITH OR WITHOUT DISORDERS OF IRON METABOLISM
(1971)A direct correlation was found between the intestinal absorption of cobalt and iron over the range of values where iron absorption is normal or increased. This observation demonstrates that cobalt and iron share at least ... -
STUDIES OF GESTATIONAL TRAPHOBLASTIC DISEASES IN IBADAN, NIGERIA
(1975-06)Gestational Trophallactic Diseases (MTD) embrace two main lesions of which is subdivided into two-hydatidiform mole, non-invasive and invasive (chorioadenoma destruens) and choriocarcinoma. These pregnancy-associated disease ... -
HISTOCHEMISTRY OF RAT SMALL INTESTINE MUCOSA AFTER ORAL ADMINISTRATION SILVER NITRATE

STUDIES ON THE BURKITT AND LYMPHORETICULAR TUMOURS IN NIGERIA
(1966-12)Burkitt’s tumour exemplifies the popular belief that lympho-reticular tumours are relatively more common in African than elsewhere. At the time the present studies were contemplated, its exact histogenesis was controversial, ... -
A BIOMEDICAL STUDY OF THE TRADITIONAL METHOD OF PREPARATION OF 'OGI' AND ITS EFFECTS ON NUTRITIVE VALUE OF CORN
(1966-09)Corn (Zea mays) is an indigenous crop of Africa, widely eaten in the form of sour meal. Amongst the ten million Yorubas in the Western region of Nigeria, it is the traditional staple cereal and the first native food given ... -
HUMAN LOIASIS IN WESTERN NIGERIA
(1974-07)An attempt has been made in this study to bridge some of the gaps in our knowledge of loiasis in Western Nigeria. At this same time, areas for future research which might lead to a better understanding of the disease ... -
A FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIATION OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
(1969-04)Needham (1942) in the glossary of his book "Biochemistry and Morphogenesis" defines "functional differentiation" as the differentiation of tissues as the result of forces arising out of the functions which they are ... -
CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC AND IMMUNOLOGICAL STUDIES ON STRAIN OF TRIPANOSOMA CONCOLENSE
(1968-12)(l) The adaptation of two strains of T.congolense from cattle to rats is described. One of them, the Ibadan strain, showed the phenomenon of polymorphism after being transmitted for four and a half years in rats. (2) The ... -
