  • Glycaemic control improves fibrin network characteristics in type 2 diabetes : a purified fibrinogen model 
    Pieters, Marlien; Covic, Namukolo; Van der Westhuizen, Francois Hendrikus; Nagaswami, Chandrasekaran; Baras, Yelena; Loots, Du Toit; Jerling, Johann C.; Elgar, Dale; Edmondson, Kathryn S.; Van Zyl, Danie G.; Rheeder, Paul; Weisel, John W. (Schattauer, 2008-04)

  • Glycation of fibrinogen in uncontrolled diabetic patients and the effects of glycaemic control on fibrinogen glycation 
    Pieters, Marlien; Van Zyl, Danie G.; Rheeder, Paul; Jerling, Johann C.; Loots, Du Toit; Van der Westhuizen, Francois Hendrikus; Gottsche, Louise T.; Weisel, John W. (Elsevier, 2007)
    Evidence exists for a relationship between glycaemic control and macrovascular disease. Non-enzymatic glycation of proteins may explain this relationship in part. We investigated the effect of blood glucose control, under ...
