Long-chain fatty acids activate the free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) and FFA4.In the gastrointestinal system, FFA1 and FFA4 have been found in the pancreas and intestine.Fatty food and decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) motility are associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease.The effect of long-chain fatty acids on the esophageal motil
BackgroundThe transmission patterns and genetic diversity of dengue virus (DENV) circulating in Africa remain poorly understood.Circulation of the DENV serotype 1 (DENV1) in Angola was detected in 2013, while DENV serotype 2 (DENV2) was detected in 2018.Here, we report results from molecular and genomic investigations conducted at the Ministry of H
In east and southern Africa some private ranch owners are corralling (hereafter kraaling) cattle overnight for short periods (for example, seven days) in natural rangelands to create nutrient enriched hotspots which are attractive to large herbivores.However, the effect of season and time after kraal use (alt.age of nutrient enriched hotspots) on l
