Ocimum gratissimum and crassocephalum crepidiodes are used commonly in traditional medicine to treat certain diseases. This study accessed the histological effects of aqueous extract of Ocimum gratissimum and crassocephalum crepidiodes leaves on the kidney of adult Wistar rats. Ten adult Wistar rats were assigned into two groups (A and B) of 5rats each.. Group A serve as the control and was fed with rats feed and saline solution, Group B serve as the experimental group and was fed with...
Diabetes mellitus commonly known as diabetes is a group of metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar level over a prolonged period (WHO,2014) This research is aimed at investigating effect of solanum macrocapon and Anti-diabetic drug glibenclamide on some blood parameters of alloxan induced diabetic rats. The effects of four eggplant varieties on haematological indices and weight of organs in albino rats were evaluated. A total of 30 albino rats were randomly distributed in...
Pedometers are increasingly being used as a surveillance tool to objectively assess ambulatory (walking) activity levels and patterns in different populations. This research therefore aims to monitor the level of activity using a pedometer among the male undergraduate students of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Sagamu, South west, Nigeria. Pedometer was used to evaluate the amount of physical activities of the subjects. Pedometers were connected to participants. The age of the subjects was re...
Introduction The kidneys play a major role in the control of the consistency of the internal environment. The blood passing through the kidneys is first filtrated (glomerular filtration) so that all the constituents, except blood cells and plasma proteins, go into the microtubular systems. In the kidneys the useful substances are quickly reabsorbed but unwanted substances escape filtration and are actively excreted in urine. (Krungkrai S, 2001). However, renal function tests are important t...
A human teratogen is an agent that alters the growth or structure of the developing embryo or fetus, thereby causing birth defects. The first human teratogen identified in 1941 by an ophthalmologist, Norman Gregg, was maternal rubella infection in pregnancy, which produced a triad of defects (cataracts, heart malformations, and deafness) in the infants (Gregg, 1991). Teratogens are environmental agents such as drugs, viruses, lack of nutrients, and physical or chemical elements that upon ...
Diapedesis is the means by which cells cross the walls of intact vessels. For those interested in assessing new methods for cancer therapy, I believe there are great strides to be accomplished if more efforts are concentrated on this phenomenon.

this paper explains the relationship between the reproductive axis (Hypothalamo-pituitary-gonad axis) and reproduction. A practical application of this work is how on stress can affect fertility. it has been found that women exposed to stress, both physical and psychological have altered sexual cycles and even anovulatory cycles.

In a world where streets level are raising exposure to natural sunlight is diminishing, and technology is leading to constant demand of everybody’s attention, it’s no surprise that so many people struggle is get enough sleep. What does it mean to be sleep deprived? What are some of the negative effects of sleep deprivation?
Abstract Background: Evaluation of the medicinal uses of plants remains a growing field of research. This study investigated the effects of Eucalyptus globules on alloxan -induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty male albino rats were randomized into 5 groups (n=6).Group A served as the control and was maintained on standard rat chow and water ad’libitum. Diabetes was induced in Group C, D and E animals by intraperitoneal administration of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg).Groups ...
The spermatogenic and steroidogenic functions of the testes is finely regulated by the brain (on stimulation), the master endocrine gland, and local factors produced by the testes. During intrauterine life the proliferation of primitive germ cells and the formation of the testes is carefully directed by testosterone, secreted by leydig cell on activation by human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) released by the placenta. After birth, hormonal regulation of testes stop and the testes remain quicen...

The effects of the aqueous leaf extract of Basella alba on haematological and biochemical parameterswere studied in Wistar strain albino rats. Twenty four (24) Wistar strain albino rats were randomlydistributed into four groups of six (6) rats each. Group I rats served as control and received 10 ml/kg ofnormal saline, while group II, III and IV received 60, 80 and 100 mg/kg of aqueous leaf extract of B. alba,respectively, for two weeks. Administration of the extract was done orally. At the en...
Renal dysfunction is nowa prevalent complication of diabetesmellitus. Therefore, this study was carried out to evaluate the remedialeffects of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on renal dysfunction in diabetic rats. Fifteen albinoWistar rats were divided into 3 groups thatcomprise normal control group (Group I) and diabetic control group (Group II) fed with normal rat chows and a diabetic test group(Group III) fed with 10% VCO diet. Group II and Group III were made diabetic by single intraperitoneal i...
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is a saturated fat with promising antidiabetic properties but its ameliorative effect on lipid profilesin diabetics is rarely reported. Therefore, in this study, a total of fifteen (15) male rats weighing 200–250 g were divided into 3experimental groups (𝑛 = 5).Group I (control) andGroup II (diabetic control group) were fed a normal rat chowwhile Group III(diabetic test group) was fed a 10% VCO diet for 3 weeks. Group II and Group III were made diabetic by intrap...
