Serum adiponectin in HIV-1 and hepatitis C virus mono- and co-infected Kenyan injection drug users
(Endocrine Connections, 2015-12)
Adiponectin is an important marker of anthropometric profiles of adipose tissue. However, association of adiponectin and adiposity in HIV mono- and co-infected and hepatitis (HCV) injection drug users (IDUs) has not been ...
HIV-1 protease inhibitor drug resistance in Kenyan antiretroviral treatment-naive and -experienced injection drug users and non-drug users
(AIDS Research and Therapy, 2015-08-15)
Background
Although injection drug use drives antiretroviral drug resistance, the prevalence of protease inhibitor (PI) resistance among Kenyan IDUs remains undetermined. We, therefore, explored PI resistance mutations ...

Role of Cl on Diffusion of Cu in In2S3 Layers Prepared by Ion Layer Gas Reaction Method
(coatings, 2015-02-15)
Ion layer gas reaction (ILGAR) method allows for deposition of Cl-containing and Cl-free In2S3 layers from InCl3 and In(OCCH3CHOCCH3)3 precursor salts, respectively. A comparative study was performed to investigate the ...
Nutrients, functional properties, storage stability and costing of complementary foods enriched with either termites and fish or commercial micronutrients
(Journal of Insects as Food and Feed, 2015-01-11)
Application of edible insects in complementary food production has not been studied much. This study developed and evaluated complementary foods based on edible termites to combat child malnutrition in Kenya. Two complementary ...
Antioxidant properties of cultivated edible mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) in Kenya
(African Journal of Biotechnology, 2015-04)
Antioxidant activities and phytochemical compounds of ethanol and hot water extracts of Agaricus bisporus species fruiting body and mycelia cultivated in Kenya were spectophotometrically determined and evaluated. The total ...
Effects of climate variability on maize yield in the arid and semi arid lands of lower eastern Kenya
(Agriculture & Food Security, 2015-06-09)
Background
Climate is a key input of rain-fed agriculture. Climate variability and change has been the most important determinant of crop yields in Kenya and other parts of the world. However, there has been not much ...
