OBJECTIVE To compare lithogenic risk factors in normal black volunteer men (BN), male black stone formers (BSF) and male white recurrent stone formers (WSF); in addition, the differential diagnoses in the stone formers were compared to determine if the causes of renal stones differed in the two

A review of the medical records between 1971 and 1977 from four Emory University affiliated hospitals revealed 12 white patients and one black patient who had biopsy-proven temporal arteritis. Anemia and an elevated alkaline phosphatase level were noted in eight of the 13 patients, and the ESR was

Biochemical reference values for the black age group of greater than or equal to 65 years were determined from the black urban population of the Orange Free State. Biochemical investigations performed were those included in the Sequential Multiple Analyser Computer profile because it includes the 20

Smooth muscle contraction depends on the state of myosin phosphorylation and hence on the balance of myosin light chain kinase and phosphatase activity. Effects of okadaic acid isolated from black sponge on both enzyme activities and contractility were studied in chemically skinned fibers from

BACKGROUND The Black Locust (Robinia Pseudoacacia) tree contain toxalbumins, robin and phasin, that exert their toxic effects by inhibition of protein synthesis. Despite the potential dangers of Black Locust intoxication, reports of human toxicity after ingestion are rare. We report the first human

Juvenile rickets or osteopenia in rural black children is thought to be due to low calcium intake. Characteristic findings include mild calcium deficiency, normal serum phosphate levels, increased alkaline phosphatase concentrations and normal plasma vitamin D levels. The present series consisted of

OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical spectrum of rickets among black children admitted to King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban. METHODS Prospective study of black children with rickets beyond infancy. METHODS Hospital-based population; King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban. METHODS A total of 37 patients,

In this study, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of aged black garlic (ABG) in rodent models of liver injury. ABG inhibited carbon tetrachloride-induced elevation of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT), which are markers of hepatocellular damage, in SD rats.

Twenty-four serum chemistries were measured in blood samples collected from 20 adult female black bears (Ursus americanus) and their offspring, including 14 yearlings and 37 cubs, in northeastern Pennsylvania during winter 1984. Four other captive adult females were bled before, during, and after

Globally, tea is the second most consumed beverage after water. Habitual tea intake has been associated with higher bone mineral density, particularly in postmenopausal women. This association may be due to its polyphenols and resulting protective antioxidant effects. While in vivo studies have

The nutritional status of 145 black preschool children aged 3-5 years living in Letaba near Tzaneen was evaluated biochemically; 20.7% weighed less than 80% of the 50th percentile. Mean levels of red cell thiamine, serum protein and albumin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, calcium and

We determined the values of haematocrit and blood chemistry of the black vulture (Aegypius monachus) in Extremadura (Spain). We analysed 57 nestlings, five feral adults, seven captive individuals in their first year and five captive adults. Free-living adults had a higher haematocrit and lower

To evaluate diurnal variation of plasma bone markers, blood samples were collected from five calves at 2-hr intervals throughout a 24-hr period. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b), carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks of type-I collagen (CTX), hydroxyproline, bone specific
