Inhibition of AFB1-induced liver cancer and induction of increased microsomal enzyme activity by dietary constituents.
(University of Nairobi,Department of biochemistry, 1989)A long-term study, using male Wistar rats, was initiated to determine whether the effects of dietary constituents on AFB1-induced liver cancer could be associated with altered microsomal enzyme activity. They were maintained ... -

Inhibition of blood meal digestion in tsetse fly glossina morsitans centralis fed on rabbits immunized with tsetse mid gut proteins
(Department of Medicine. College of Health Sciences. University of Nairobi, 1993)The human body louse, Pediculus humanus, showed eighteen midgut proteins ranging between 12 and 117 kDa, when analysed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Seven of them (12 kDa, 17 kDa, 29 kDa, 35 kDa, 40 kDa, 55 kDa and 97 kDa) ... -

Inhibition of bloodmeal digestion in tsetse fly Glossina morsitans centralis fed on rabbits immunized with tsetse midgut proteins:
(1993)The efficacy of bloodmeal digestion in teneral Glossina morsitans centralis fed on rabbits immunized with tsetse fly midgut extracts was progressively monitored over a period of 96 hours. Flies fed on immunized rabbits ... -
Inhibition of double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase strongly decreases cytokine production and release in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with Alzheimer's disease.
(University of NairobiSchool of Medicine, 2010)Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is the most common form of dementia in the elderly individuals. Among the pathogenic mechanisms in AD, chronic systemic inflammation is described and characterized ... -
Inhibition of Glossina morsitans midgut trypsin activity by D-glucosamine
(International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, Kenya.College of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1993)The effect of the amino sugar D-glucosamine on trypsin in crude midgut homogenates of Glossina morsitans morsitans was studied in vitro. The results showed that the midgut trypsin was specifically and competitively inhibited ... -
Inhibition of the hexokinase/hexose transporter region in the glycosomal membrane of bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei by oligomycin and digitonin
(University of NairobiSchool of Public Health, University of Nairobi, 2004-12)Glycolysis in bloodstream T. brucei is the sole source of energy and remains a favourable chemotherapeutic target. In furtherance of this, an attempt has been made to understand better the contribution of glucose, fructose, ... -
Inhibition profiles of sodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium on mediator release from mast cells of human skin, lung, tonsil, adenoid and intestine
(1992)We have studied an aspect of the functional heterogeneity of human mast cells, namely responsiveness to the inhibitory effects of sodium cromoglycate and nedocromil sodium. The effects of these drugs were examined on the ... -

Inhibitory effect of Trypanosoma brucei brucei on Glossina morsitans midgut trypsin in vitro
(The International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, Nairobi, KenyaCollege of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi, 1992)The ability of Trypanosoma brucei brucei to inhibit trypsin or trypsin-like enzymes in crude midgut homogenates of Glossina morsitans morsitans was studied in vitro. The isolated parasites caused a concentration-dependent ... -
