Konji, Victor N; Olowookere, Julius O; Makawiti, Dominic W; Kamau, John MZ; Kiaira, Job K; Omwandho, Charles A (Springer-Verlag, 1991-07-01)Resting metabolic rates have been measured and compared with hepatic mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and diet-induced obese weaned rats. In Kwashiorkor, resting metabolic rate was 21% lower than the value of ... -
Interaction of benzoquinones with mitochondria interferes with oxidative phosphorylation characteristics
Makawiti, Dominic W; Julius O, Olowookere; Konji, Victor N (No longer published by Elsevier, 1990-08-06)Studies with four benzoquinones, viz. juglone, embelin, maesaquinone and maesanin, on rat liver mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation have been carried out.
