The use of nicotine-containing substances has been implicated in oxidative-induced neuronal damage in several neurological dysfunctions. This study assessed the antioxidant potentials of Moringa tea on the frontal cortex of Wistar rats. Twenty female Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of 5 animals each. Group A (control) received normal saline, Group B received 5.71 mg/kg of Moringa tea, Group C was treated with 13.76 mg/kg nicotine, while Group D received 5.71 mg/kg of Moringa tea and...
Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the effects of liquid extract of Calotropis procera (CP) on the testicular structure and functions of adult male rabbits. CP, commonly known as ‘ewe bomubomu’ in Nigeria, contains a toxic milky sap that is extremely bitter; the milky sap contains a complex mix of chemicals. This plant is most popular and commonly used among the Fulanis in Nigeria to process cheese. Methods: Twelve adult male rabbits weighing between 1–2 kg were used ...
Trees play important role in our lives and existence and human beings. Cut down a tree and plant one or two in return. With this we all get to inhale good oxygen from the environment ...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUNDEbola virus has been detected in the semen of men after their recovery from Ebola virus disease (EVD). We report the presence of Ebola virus RNA in semen in a cohort of survivors of EVD in Sierra Leone.METHODSWe enrolled a convenience sample of 220 adult male survivors of EVD in Sierra Leone, at various times after discharge from an Ebola treatment unit (ETU), in two phases (100 participants were in phase 1, and 120 in phase 2). Semen specimens obtained at baseline we...
Abstract Stress has the potential to discourage radiographers from practice and to cause brain drain in the profession. The aim of this study was to consider stress, from a holistic perspective, of the radiographers’ experiences. Qualitative research methods were employed. Using random sampling, 10 radiographers, two from each of the five states of southeastern Nigeria were interviewed. The interview questions aimed to explore the experience of radiographers with a focus on the causes of ...
Disaster is a severe disruption of the functioning of society which poses momentous, extensive threat to human life, health, property, or the milieu, whether developing suddenly or as the result of long term process. The increasing regularity and severity of contemporary disasters has highlighted the need for effective emergency management regimes .Over the past four years, countless volunteers and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have provided manpower and resources to help commu...
The first Muslims lived in a desert, so they were very concerned about water conservation .In Holy Quran the word WATER has been used 63 times in Arabic word Ma’. Water is a gift from God. Water is an essential resource for all life on the planet. Of the water resources on Earth only three percent of it is fresh and two-thirds of the freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. Of the remaining one percent, a fifth is in remote. Much effort in water resource management is directed a...
The industrial training program or students industrial work experience scheme (SIWES) is an appreciable skills program designed to equip students to the real life working experience. It is a skill development program that provides a link opportunity for students to participate in the real world of work, benefit from practical exposure at work as well as acquiring academic competencies in the college. SIWES is aimed at exposing students to the realities of world of work by matching the theoret...
Lingual lipase is a water soluble enzyme that primarily catalyses the breakdown of fats and converts them to free fatty acids, monoglycerides and diglycerides. They play an important role in food digestion. Lingual lipase which was discovered in 1976 is a member of a family of digestive enzymes called triacylglycerol lipases, that use the catalytic triad of aspartate, and serine to hydrolyze medium- and long-chain triglycerides into partial glycerides and free fatty acids.
ABSTRACT The Gastro intestinal system is vital for overall secretions, digestion, absorption, and movement within the tracts. Secretions involve release of fluids, chemicals and catalytic substances that facilitates digestion and related gastrointestinal tract (GIT) activities. Digestion involves hydrolysis of condensed products of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Absorption involves movement of molecules across the GIT into the circulatory system. Carbohydrates are hydrolysed to monos...
This concept involves the step by step processes associated with the formation and development of the human cardiovascular and respiratory system which together function to circulate oxygen and blood throughout the human body. These systems are complex in nature and their functionality is very vital for life.
ABSTRACT The Sympathetic nervous systems (SNS) is an efferent division of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) with neurons which anatomically originates in the central nervous system (CNS). It has a short preganglionic neuron which comes from the thoracic and lumbar regions (T1 to L2) (also termed, thoracolumbar outflow) of the spinal cord. The axons of the postganglionic neuron extend from these ganglia to the tissues that they innervate and regulate. In most cases, the preganglion...
Abstract The endocrine system is a system of glands, each of which secretes a type of hormone directly into the bloodstream to regulate the body. Many of the body's hormones influence growth, such as growth hormone, thyroxine, insulin, and corticosteroids (all of which influence growth rate), leptin (which alters body composition), and parathyroid hormone, 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, and calcitonin (all of which affect skeletal mineralization). However, the key hormone in growth is GH which ...
Digestion is the breakdown of complex food substances into simple and absorbable form by the aid of enzymes using a process known as hydrolysis. Carbohydrate basically are divided into three: Polysaccharides (example Starch), Disaccharides (Sucrose and Lactose), and monosaccharides (Fructose, Galatose and Glucose). Almost all the carbohydrates of the diet are either large polysaccharides or disaccharides, which are combinations of monosaccharides bound to one another by condensation (Guyto...
