Brain and liver samples were taken from 7 adult male Papio anubis after 32 months on a vitamin B-12 deficient diet of starch, sucrose, heated soya bean meal, cellulose, maize oil, mineral and vitamin supplements and ...
A biochemical study of vitamin B12 deficiency in the baboon.
(University of Nairobi, 1975)
A dietary deficiency of vitamin B12 was produced in the baboon by use of an artificial diet. Deficiency was further aggravated by feeding propionate or ampicillin, as judged by serum, liver and brain vitamin B12 levels, ...
Changes relevant to catecholamine metabolism in liver and brain of ascorbic acid deficient guinea-pigs
(University of Nairobi, Kenya, 1975)
A chronic deficiency of ascorbic acid was induced in guinea pig. The level of catecholamines, copper and the activities of ceruplasmin, catecholamine oxidase, monoamineoxidase and acetylcholinesterase were checked in brain, ...
Gonadal and plasma testosterone and cholesterol in scorbutic guinea pigs.
(University of Nairobi., 1977)
Testes of pre- and post-pubertal guinea pigs were examined histologically and biochemically to see if ascorbic acid deficiency brought about any changes in their structure or function. Apart from a slight but significant ...
