Background: The current upsurge in the use of polyherbal remedies and coupled with loose regulation on public access to these products underscore research efforts to evaluate their biochemical effect, noting also that many of the polyherbal medicines lack scientific evidence to support their medicinal claims. Objective: We therefore investigated the potential genotoxicity, hematotoxicity and ...

Extra-pulmonary oxidative stress investigations of exposure to aerosol, of an over-the-counter pyrethroid insecticide product in Nigeria in Wistar rats were carried out. Four groups of five animals each were used in this study, and were exposed to different concentrations of the insecticide aerosol. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations were determined in the live...
Introduction: Raw edible camphor (EC), and as component of herbal infusions are widely used to treat pile, back pain, erectile dysfunction, and as an aphrodisiac especially in preparation for sexual intercourse by men. It has been traced in umbilical cord, blood, fetal, adipose, and other tissues including brain, where it bioaccumulates. Methods: The study, therefore, investigated the possible histopathological changes in brain, heart, and spleen that may result following ...
Increasing environmental pollution in the tropics is creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to increasingly frequent use of insecticides to combat home infestation of mosquitoes, the vector of malarial parasites. Household members are therefore more prone to aerosol exposure and subsequent health effects. We assessed the hepatotoxic and clastogenic effects in rats exposed to different levels of aerosols of one of the insecticides most commonly in used in Nigeria. There were signif...
Ginger or Zingiber officinale has been reported to possess antioxidant activities that can protect against free radical damage. We therefore carried out this study to investigate the possible ameliorative effects of ginger against the clastogenicity, hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by nitrobenzene (NB) administration in wistar rats. Twenty male wistar rats were divided into four g...
One interesting branch of biochemistry which scientists are still trying to completely unravel is the area of chronobiochemistry. The history of chronobiology is dated 400 B.C., when Androsthenes observes that leaves of certain trees open during the day and close at night. It was only recently that the first human clock gene was discovered. All living organisms possess an internal bio...
ABSTRACT Background: Edible camphor (EC) is one of the ingredients in the preparation of local infusion for the management and treatment of pile, back pain, and erectile dysfunction, which are practices commonly in the south-western part of Nigeria. Methods: Thirty rats were used for the study, and were divided into six groups of five rats each. Group I animals served as normal ...
ABSTRACT Libraries have been an important part of educational and information sector of any school or community. The success of any library largely depends on proper management. Several libraries have suffered failure as a result of inadequate management and incapacitations in handling sensitive information as regards members of the library. This research therefore, aimed at developing a digital library system, which will help direct and position library to meets its ever increasing deman...
The impact of Sewage and Abattoir effluent discharge into river resulted in water pollution there by reduces it quality.This study aimed at analysing the physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of Karu Abattoir effluent and Sewage discharge into Karu River in FCT ,Abuja, Nigeria in order to ascertain the quality and impact on Karu River. Four water samples along with one effluent ample were collected aseptically and subjected to standard microbiological and physicochemical analysis
R program that calculate mathematical interest theory such as dollar weighted yield rate, time weighted yield rate, simple and compound interest and all others.
PREFACE Crude oil is a naturally occurring brown to black flammable liquid which is composed of hydrocarbon compounds, non hydrocarbon compounds, organometallic compounds. Various types of non hydrocarbon compounds present in crude oil are organic sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen compound. Traces of this compound causes problem to catalytic refining process in the refining industry. Hydro treatment process is used to eliminate the problems caused by this compound TABLE OF CONTENT Abstract CHAP...
In living cells, especially eukaryotes, mitochondria involvement appears to be important in the general status of every aspect of life. Apoptosis as a programmed cell death is mandatory to all life process thus, mitochondria might be describe as organelles that serves as a gatekeeper to trap a variety of proapototic protein and prevent the functions of this proteins in the cytosol...
Genetics is a huge and growing area across human biology, medicine and science, providing information about basic processes from birth to death, from development to degeneration, and in even revealing enough about disease biology to lead to new therapies or better use of existing treatments because gene activity underlines all biological process (Sisodiya, 1881; Vadlamudi et al., 2014). Epilepsy is defined as one unprovoked (or reflex) seizure and a probability of further seizures similar t...
The study focused on the development of Interactive Instructional Materialfor C++ Programming Language. The primary objective of the study is to develop and evaluate the interactive instructional material. The study will be conduct in the second semester of school year 2016-2017 at the College of Computer Studies in University of Rizal System Binangonan Rizal.
