    11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1 deficiency alters the gut microbiome response to Western diet by Johnson, Jethro S., Opiyo, Monica N., Thomson, Marian, Karim, Gharbi, Andreas, Heger, Chapman, Karen E.

    Published 2019
    “…The type 1 isozyme, 11β-HSD1, predominantly reactivates glucocorticoids in vivo and can also metabolise bile acids. 11β-HSD1-deficient mice show altered inflammatory responses and are protected against the adverse metabolic effects of a high-fat diet. However, the impact of 11β-HSD1 on the composition of the gut microbiome has not previously been investigated. …”

    Immunostimulatory responses to crude extracts of Warburgia ugandensis (sprague) subsp ugandensis (canellaceae) by Balb/c mice infected with Leishmania major by Ngure, Peter Kamau, Ng’ang’a, Zipporah, Kimutai, Albert, Kepha, Stella, Mong’are, Samuel, Ingonga, Johnnie, Tonui, Willy

    Published 2024
    “…Conclusion: These data suggest that extracts of W. ugandensis subsp. ugandensis are suitable adjuvants for Leishmania vaccines. However, since W. ugandensis subsp. ugandensis has been shown to be effective against Leishmania parasites in vitro and in vivo, further studies ought to be conducted to determine its immunochemotherapeutic potential when co-administered with a soluble leishmanial antigen in vaccinating BALB/c mice.…”
