Enhanced bioethanol fermentation from mixed xylose and glucose using free and immobilized cultures: mathematical model and experimental observation by Ghods, Nosaibeh Nosrati

“…Predicted rates of Z. mobilis ZM4 were then validated with experimental data generated in this study. Then, the optimum initial biomass concentration required to provide a faster volumetric rate of sugar utilisation and ethanol production, as well as the optimum oxygenation level for xylose conversion using P. stipitis achieved through appropriate aeration were investigated through experimental observation and using a MATLAB mathematical model developed through combination of the Andrews and Levenspiel's models, with oxygen, substrate, cell and product terms. …”

Effects of adipose tissue extracellular matrix components on body fat distribution and insulin sensitivity in black and white South African women by Kotzé-Hörstmann, Liske

“…It is not clear whether high circulating insulin may directly increase HIF-1α expression and contribute to the formation of excess ECM, or whether increased insulin may simply be a concomitant downstream effect of increased insulin resistance, as a consequence of increased fibrosis and the generation of inflammation. By using a cell culture based study, the third study in this thesis (chapter 5), investigated the effects of increasing insulin concentrations on the expression of hypoxia and ECM related genes under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes. …”
