| human enzyme polymorphism in the canary islands. vi. northwest african influence. | the genetic polymorphism of eight red cell enzymes was analyzed in population samples from the northwest african continent and from the south of spain in order to study their genetic relationships with the canarian population. the moroccan, berber and spanish populations, although geographically more distant from the canary islands than the saharan and mauritanian ones, are genetically more closely related to the canarian population. the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gc allele earlier found ... | 1994 | 8039799 |
| evaluation of the central properties of several hypericum species from the canary islands. | the infusions of the aerial parts in blossom of hypericum canariense, h. glandulosum, h. reflexum and h. grandifolium (hypericaceae) were evaluated for their pharmacological activity on the central nervous system in mice using various behavioural models including locomotor and muscle relaxant activity, effect on normal body temperature, pentobarbital-induced sleep, oxotremorine and tetrabenazine-induced syndrome, apomorphine-induced hypothermia and 5-hydroxytryptophan-induced head twitches, as w ... | 2002 | 12458477 |
| enterocytozoon bieneusi (microsporidia) in clinical samples from immunocompetent individuals in tenerife, canary islands, spain. | microsporidia are newly emerging pathogens of humans and animals, with enterocytozoon bieneusi being the most common causal agent in human microsporidiosis. to determine the presence of e. bieneusi, 273 clinical samples (40 urine, 156 stools, 37 sputum, 9 bronchial aspirates, 5 bronchial washes and 26 pleural fluids) from immunocompetent patients, mainly suffering diarrhoea or pneumonia, in tenerife, canary islands, spain were analysed using light microscopy after staining with weber's chromotro ... | 2005 | 16111728 |
