Women and Participation in Civil Society: Do Women Get Empowered? The Case of Women in Goromonzi District in Zimbabwe
Using a case study of the Goromonzi District in Zimbabwe, this article explores whether women's participation in informal politics leads to the collective empowerment of women at the community level. Furthermore, the article seeks to investigate opportunities and constraints that exist for improving the position of women. Results show that due to unequal access to and control over resources, discriminatory attitudes and perceptions against women,…
Mice deficient in Group VIB phospholipase A 2 (iPLA 2 γ) exhibit relative resistance to obesity and metabolic abnormalities induced by a Western diet
Phospholipases A 2 (PLA 2 ) play important roles in metabolic processes, and the Group VI PLA 2 family is comprised of intracellular enzymes that do not require Ca 2+ for catalysis. Mice deficient in Group VIA PLA 2 (iPLA 2 β) develop more severe glucose intolerance than wild-type (WT) mice in response to dietary stress. Group VIB PLA 2 (iPLA 2 γ) is a related enzyme distributed in membranous organelles, including mitochondria, and iPLA 2 γ knock…
