Development of sequence-based markers for seed protein content in pigeonpea
(Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2019)
Pigeonpea is an important source of dietary protein to over a billion people globally, but genetic enhancement of seed protein
content (SPC) in the crop has received limited attention for a long time. Use of genomics-assisted ...
Characterization and mapping of Dt1 locus which co‑segregates with CcTFL1 for growth habit in pigeonpea
(Theor Appl Genet, 2017)
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is one of the most
important legume crops grown in arid and semi-arid regions
of the world. It is characterized with few unique features
compared with other legume species, such as Lotus, ...
Genetic variation and relationships of total seed protein content with some agronomic traits in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.)
(Australian Journal of Crop Science, 2018)
Seed protein content (SPC) is an important grain quality trait, which impacts the nutritional importance of pigeonpea seed in the
diet of over a billion people globally. The present study was carried out to determine ...
Uric acid and transforming growth factor in fructose-induced production of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle
(Oxford University Press, 2016)
The consumption of fructose, a major constituent of the modern diet, has raised
increasing concern about the effects of fructose on health. Research suggests that
excessive intake of fructose (>50 g/d) causes hyperuricemia, ...
The role of CaMKII in regulating GLUT4 expression in skeletal muscle
(Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab, 2012)
The role of CaMKII in regulating GLUT4
expression in skeletal muscle. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 303: E322–E331,
2012. First published April 10, 2012; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00091.2012.—Contractile
activity during ...
Molecular mapping of seed protein content in pigeonpea – a drought tolerant crop of the semi-arid tropics
(: InterDrought, 2017)
Pigeonpea is a uniquely drought and heat tolerant crop that provides a major source of dietary protein to nearly a billion people in the tropical and semi-arid tropics of the world. Despite its importance as a source of ...
Lactate clearance as a prognostic marker of mortality in severely ill febrile children in East Africa
(BMC Medicine, 2018)
Background: Hyperlactataemia (HL) is a biomarker of disease severity that predicts mortality in patients with sepsis
and malaria. Lactate clearance (LC) during resuscitation has been shown to be a prognostic factor of ...
Mortality after Fluid Bolus in African Children with Severe Infection
(New England Journal of Medicine, 2011)
Background
The role of fluid resuscitation in the treatment of children with shock and lifethreatening
infections who live in resource-limited settings is not established.
Methods
We randomly assigned children with ...
Predicting mortality in sick African children: the FEAST Paediatric Emergency Triage (PET) Score
(BMC Medicine, 2015)
Background: Mortality in paediatric emergency care units in Africa often occurs within the first 24 h of admission
and remains high. Alongside effective triage systems, a practical clinical bedside risk score to identify ...
Exploring mechanisms of excess mortality with early fluid resuscitation: insights from the FEAST trial
(2013)
Background: Early rapid fluid resuscitation (boluses) in African children with severe febrile illnesses increases the
48-hour mortality by 3.3% compared with controls (no bolus). We explored the effect of boluses on 48-hour ...
