Synergistic effects of mixtures of fungicides and medicinal plant extracts against Botrytis cinerea
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
We hypothesize that South African medicinal plants contain compounds that can act in synergism with synthetic antifungal compounds. Four fungicides - Sporekill™, Rovral™,
Terminator™ and Teldor™ at doses 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and ...

Phylogeography and speciation in the genus arthroleptella
(2009)
Moss frogs are restricted to permanently moist terrestrial habitats in the south-western Cape Fold Mountains. There is a very close association between Arthroleptella distribution and Table Mountain Sandstone. Suitable ...
The effect of nicotine and prostaglandin A2 on the lung cancer cell line NCI-H157
(2009)
Lung cancer is the most common fatal cancer in terms of both incidence and mortality in the world. The most important cause of lung cancer is exposure to
tobacco smoke through active or passive smoking. Nicotine which is ...
An investigation into the effect of maternal exposure to nicotine and copper on neonatal lung development
(University of the Western Cape, 2006)
In the 20th century, where tobacco smoking continues to be the leading preventable cause of death, an alarming number of people continue to smoke, despite awareness of the implications of exposure for themselves and those ...
The development and implementation of biomarker assays for estrogenic endocrine disruptors
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are compounds found in the environment that have the potential to disrupt normal endocrine function. Estrogenic EDCs (e-EDCs) is a subclass of EDCs and is defined as substances ...
Fatty acids as cancer preventive tools in the dietary modulation of altered lipid profiles associated with hepatocarcinogenesis
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
This thesis consists of a brief description on cancer, carcinogenesis, the changes in the type and level of dietary fat available in our diets over time and association with the development of certain diseases. The main ...
Apoptotic markers in ejaculated human spermatozoa
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The role of male germ cell death in spermatogenesis is an important one as it removes dysfunctional or genetically damaged germ cells and is necessary to maintain an optimal germ cell to Sertoli cell ratio. The formation ...
The influence of maternal nicotine exposure on selected glycolytic and cytochrome P450 enzymes in developing neonatal rat lung
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The structural and functional integrity of a developing and maturing fetal and neonatal lung is critically dependent on carbohydrate metabolism. The energy derived from carbohydrate metabolism is utilized during the processed ...
