Liver retinol estimated by 13C-retinol isotope dilution at 7 versus 14 days in Burkinabe schoolchildren
Jean F Bationo , Augustin N Zeba , Nadine D Coulibaly , Jesse Sheftel , Christopher R Davis , Imael HN Bassole , Nicolas Barro , Jean B Ouedraogo and Sherry A Tanumihardjo
Vitamin A status assessment is not straightforward. Retinol isotope dilution (RID) testing requires time for the tracer dose to mix with the total body stores of vitamin A (TBS). Researchers are interested in shortening the time interval between tracer administration and follow-up blood draws, and in re-examining current assumptions about live(...)

Genetic Diversity of a Collection of Solanum macrocarpon from Burkina Faso Revealed by Microsatellite Markers
Kabore Boukare, Sawadogo Boureima, Kiebre Mariam, Tiama Djakaridia, Kiebre Zakaria, Traore Renan Ernest, Sawadogo Mahamadou, Bationo-Kando Pauline
Solanum macrocarpon is an important vegetable native to Africa, with leaves and fruits. It is a potential source of
income and nutrients that contribute to the nutritional balance of the local population's food intake. However, S. macrocarpon
did not attract the interest of researchers in relation to other Solanum species. Indeed, knowledge(...)

Background
Genetic and environment play a significant role in the etiology of essential hypertension (EH). Recently STK39 rs3754777, ATP2B1 rs2681472 and rs17249754 have been associated with BP variation and hypertension. In this study we aimed to determine firstly whether index variants were associated with the risk of developing EH in Burki(...)
