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, ...

(1976)
Dendroaspis jamesoni snake venom administered intra-arterially into the superior cervical ganglion, inhibits contraction of the cat nictitating membrane to supramaximal electrical stimulation of preganglionic nerve, when ...
Physicochemical characters of a ribonucleoprotein fragment extracted from rat brain, and their modification due to either environmental or chemical influence
(University of Nairobi, 1974-12)
A soluble, homogeneous ribonucleoprotein (RNP) fragment was extracted from rat brain. The chemical structure and the conformation of this fragment were affected by environmental conditions or by the administration of ...
Interaction of chloropromazine with adrenochrome and interference of a possible endogenous psychotogenic agent with some synaptic enzyme activities
(University of Nairobi, 1972)
Chloropromazine is able to interact with adrenochrome yielding a complex more stable than the acetylcholine-adrenochrome complex postulated as the endo-genous psychotogenic agent in mental illness. The toxicity of the ...
