Neurolathyrism in Sub‐Saharan Africa—Assessing the Neurotoxic Risks of Lathyrus sativus Amid Drought and Food Security Challenges

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Representation of grass pea consumption in drought‐stricken sub‐Saharan Africa sustains nutrition, but excess β‐ODAP exposure due to multiple reasons triggers neurolathyrism, a progressive neurotoxic disorder. ABSTRACT Neurolathyrism is a progressive motor neuron disease due to the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) over long periods.

Maternal overweight and obesity during pregnancy and sex‐dependent dysregulation of the materno‐fetal stress axis

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Maternal obesity and excess gestational weight gain (GWG) are linked to adverse perinatal outcomes, potentially via disruption of the maternal–fetal stress axis. Placental HSD11B2 protects the fetus from excess glucocorticoids and may influence fetal programming during maternal metabolic stress.

Hair as indicator of mineral status in Yankassa sheep.

Revue d'elevage et de medecine veterinaire des pays tropicaux, 1984
Douze brebis de race Yankassa en bonne santé ont été réparties en deux classes d'âge : moins d'un an et plus de deux ans. Des échantillons ont été prélevés en cinq points (encolure, coude, flanc, cuisse et queue). La concentration des poils en macro- et micro-éléments a été analysée et a donné les moyennes suivantes exprimées en millionièmes ...
