ABSTRACT This study was aimed at investigating the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of Cola acuminata on the male sex hormones of Albino wistar rats exposed to cadmium chloride. Twenty (20) Albino wistar rats were randomly assigned into five (5) groups of four rats each. Group 1 served as the control and was fed with normal rat chow and distilled water. Group 2 was treated with 30% of LD50 of cadmium chloride. Group 3, 4 and 5 were pre-treated with…

ABSTRACTS This study was conducted to investigate the nutritional composition of poultry comb (Proximate compositions and minerals). Minerals analysis was done using standard procedure while and the concentrations of Ca, Na, K, Mg, P, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, and Co were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The mean levels of the minerals in mg/100g were ranged as:110.25±0.21 for Ca; 56.92±0.19 for Na; 49.02±0.51 for K; 30.75±0.09 for Mg, 10.10±0.02 for P; 7.15 ±0.17 for Zn; 4.91±0.015 for Fe; 9.65±0.08…

ABSTRACT This study was designed to analyze the mineral composition of Ipomoea batatas. The sample were analyzed using standard analytical procedure. The result of the analysis revealed the following: Sodium (21.14±0.12), magnesium (13.51±0.05), Calcium (10.52±0.71), Potassium (5.12±0.02), Phosphorus (2.94±0.80). The  highest macro–element content of Ipomoea batatas analyzed was sodium and  lowest  was potassium. The presence of these macro-element in  Ipomoea batatas suggest that it is suitable and  good food in the management of impoverishment disease such as hypertension and diabetes….

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ethanolic extract of Morinda citrifolia leaves on male reproductive hormones (Testosterone, LH, FSH) of male albino wistar rats exposed to arsenic trioxide. 20 male albino rats were randomly assigned five (5) groups of four (4) rats each. Group 1 (the normal control) was fed with normal rat chow and distilled water for 14 days, Group 2 (the negative control) was orally administered 25% (3.65mg/kg) of the LD50 (14.6mg)…

ABSTRACT Analysis of the effect of crude extract of Synedrella nodiflora on the haematological indices of male albino Wistar rats was investigated using standard analytical procedure. The haematological indices assayed were RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH and MCHC. Twenty five (25) healthy male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups of five (5) rats each. Group 1 served as the normal control and was sustained with rat chow and distilled water only. Group 2 served as the negative…
