The antioxidant properties of melatonin during chemical hypoxia and reoxygenation injury in rat ventricular myocytes
(University of the Western Cape, 2000)It is well known that ischaemia chemical hypoxia followed by reperfusion is not always accompanied by recovery of myocardial function and often produces further cell damage (Hearse et al., 1973). This phenomenon commonly ... -
The effects of silver nanoparticles on the expression of protein biomarkers of cell stress, apoptosis and inflammation by the human liver cancer cell line, HepG2
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and objects at the nanoscale (around 1-100 nm), socalled nanomaterials. These nanomaterials exhibit novel properties that are often very different to those of the bulk materials used ... -
The potential neuroprotective effects of two South African plant extracts in hydrogen peroxide-induced neuronal toxicity
(University of the Western Cape, 2018)Background: Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species has been strongly associated with many neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) and many medicinal plant-derived products have been reported to exert potent antioxidant ...
