Projected changes in African easterly wave activity due to climate change by Akintomide A. Akinsanola, Adeyemi A. Adebiyi, Vishal Bobde, Oluwafemi E. Adeyeri, Alain T. Tamoffo, Derrick K. Danso

“…This intensification is linked to increased baroclinicity associated with a strengthening of the meridional temperature gradient between the Guinea Coast and the Sahara. Our results also indicate that low-level warming enhances the waves by reinforcing monsoon flow, leading to increased convergence and vertical motion along the intertropical discontinuity. …”

Protein tyrosine kinase but not protein kinase C inhibition blocks receptor induced alveolar macrophage activation by K. Pollock, M. T. Withnall

“…The selective enzyme inhibitors genistein and Ro 31-8220 were used to assess the importance of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) and protein kinase C (PKC), respectively, in N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP) induced generation of superoxide anion and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in guinea-pig alveolar macrophages (AM). Genistein (3–100 μM) dose dependently inhibited FMLP (3 nM) induced superoxide generation in non-primed AM and TXB2 release in non-primed or in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (10 ng/ml) primed AM to a level > 80% but had litle effect up to 100 μM on phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (10 nM) induced superoxide release. …”
