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 ... -
SOME IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIONS OF TRIPANOSONA GAMBIESSE ISOLATES
(1971-02)Serological characteristics and the protective effect of humeral antibodies (serum) were examined in rabbits (a) infected with Trypanosoma gambiense, (b) immunized with killed Trypanosoma gambiense, (c) immunized with ... -

AN INVESTIGATION OF MECHANISM OF AMPICOGULANT ACTION OF AFLATOXIN IN SOME ANIMAL SPECIES
(1970-06)It has been reported that aflatoxin B₁ isolated from foodstuff contaminated with a toxin strain of Aspergillus Flavus produces in rats a lesion similar to the “sweet clover disease”. Biochemical, Kinetic and microscopic ... -
INSULIN SECRETION IN NON-OBESE NIGERIANS (effect of glucose, sulphonylureas and weight reduction
(1974-07)Protein calorie malnutrition in man and experimental animals produces striking changes in the pancreas; and clinically, protein deficiency has been shown to diminish exocrine pancreatic secretions in addition to the ... -
BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF GENETIC VARIANTS OF GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE IN NIGERIA
(1969-03)Comparative biochemical studies have been carried out on five genetic variants of human erythrocyte glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Nigeria. These variants A, A-, B, Ijebu-Ode and Ita-Bale in order of decreasing ... -
ENZYME HISTOCHEMISTRY AND FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIATION OF THE RAT METANEPHROS
(1973-03)Since histochemistry was introduced into the study of animal tissues, many investigators have localized the site of activity of a number of enzymes in both the developing kidney the adult kidney. Moog (1944) demonstrated ... -
CELLULAR IMMUNOLOGY OF PATHOGENIC TRYPANOSOMES
(1970-05)Pathogenic trypanosomes are the cause of a variety of disease syndromes kown collectively as trypanosomiases of man and animals. The association of the tsetse fly (Glossina species) with the transmission of the disease ... -
A STUDY OF PSYCHO-SOCIAL AND CULTURAL FACTORS IN CHILDHOOD MORTALITY AND MORBIDITY IN NIGERIA
(1985-04)Morbidity and mortality are known to be notoriously high among pre-school children in Nigeria and other developing countries. Malnutrition, infectious and communicable diseases constitute the major health problems of the ... -
STUDIES ON TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION AND HEAT PRODUCTION IN THE "CORE AREA" OF THE DOG
(1968-06)Temperature distribution within the "oore area" of fasting mongrel dogs was studied with thermocouples or "applicators" (the hot junctions of thermocouples - manufactured by ELLAB Ltd. Copenhagen). The highest intra-abdominal ... -
STUDIES ON CADMIUM TOXICITY IN RAT TISSUES
(1981-06)The presence of toxic levels of cadmium in the ecosystem has been increasing due to more and more industrial and agricultural use. Though several reports have appeared on renal damage, testicular necrosis and hepatotoxicity, ... -
