Investigation of the mechanism of fenfluramine-induced pulmonary phospholipidosis in the rat lung model
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of fenfluramine-induced pulmonary phospholipidosis, by comparing the profile and levels of induced phospholipids in the rat and the mode of phospholipase inactivation, ...
The influence of nicotine exposure on the male reproductive system
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
It is well documented that cigarette smoking and nicotine exposure create widespread physiological disorders in humans and animals. The primary tobacco constituent that is responsible for the toxicological consequences ...
The effect of diet on the mucus histochemistry and adjacent histology of the digestive tract in Vervet monkeys.
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
There is a need for defined models of human nutritional disorders partly because serious misconceptions about models are common amongst researchers. Historically a large variety of species has been used including primates, ...
Genetic variation between two subspecies of Reedfrogs in the genus Hyperolius (Anura: Hyperoliidae)
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The frog genus Hyperolius is the largest of 19 genera in the Hyperoliidae (Channing, 1939). The members of the genus display considerable morphological homogeneity with a diversity of dorsal colour patterns. The genus is ...
"Genetic variation between two subspecies of reedfrogs in the genus Hyperolius (Anura: Hyperoliidae)"
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
H. m. broadleyi and H. m. verrucosus are not only different in terms of colour pattern, but distinct genetic differences were detected in restriction site maps of their ribosomal DNA. A sequence divergence value of 13,8% ...
Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy of nickel silicide formation
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
Silicides play a significant role in modern device technology. The operation of electronic devices heavily relies on the specific properties of metal-semiconductor interfaces. Although semiconductor technology has proven ...
The relationship between "fertilizaiton environment" and structure and physiology of selected Anuran Spermatozoa
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The propagation of species and modes of fertilization of higher vertebrates are aspects which have been extensively researched. Studies on the spermatology of lower vertebrates have not received the same attention. Anurans ...
Effect of simulated acid rain on seed germination and on growth and mineral nutrition of Lycopersicon esculentum var. Red kaki
(University of the Western Cape, 1993)
The phenomenon of acid rain is not new. It has been active for more than a billion years (Abelson, 1983). The term "acid rain" was introduced as early as 1872 by Robert Angus Smith, the world's first air pollution control ...
