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…
ABSTRACTS Lead, cadmium and arsenic are commonly available in nature and their toxicity has become an epidemiological issue as such this study was carried out to determine the effect of acute lead, cadmium and arsenic exposure on haematological parameters in albino wistar rats. In this study twenty five (25) male albino wistar rats were randomly…
ABSTRACT The effect of ethanol leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis was investigated on the serum electrolyte in albino wistar rats subjected to daily administration of coke drink. In this study 25 rats were randomly divided into five groups with each group comprising of five animals. Group 1 served as the normal which was given only…
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to determine the effect of solanum trilobatum and solanum aethiopicum on the liver enzymes of induced diabetic albino wistars. Twenty (20) albino wistar rat were randomly assigned into four groups of five rat each. Group 1 served as the control and was given only the normal rat pellet…
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to examine the effect of ethanolic extract of the leaves of Morinda citrifolia on the lipid profile of albino wistar rats exposed to arsenic trioxide. The animals were randomly assigned has five (5) groups of four (4) rats each. Groups 1 served as the normal control, which was…
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…
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)…
ABSTRACT The effect of administration of ethanol leave extracts of Andrographis paniculata and Phyllanthus amarus on serum liver enzymes in albino wistar rats treated with cadmium was investigated. Twenty five (25) male rats (130-170g) were randomly assigned five groups of five animals each. Group 1,2,3 and 4 were treated with 30% of LD50 of cadmium…
ABSTRACT This study was aimed at determining the micro- mineral composition of Irvingia gabonensis seed. The sample was obtained from the local market in Ikot Osurua. Standard analytical methods were used in carryout the analysis, the result of the study revealed the following Fe (3.104 ± 0.002mg/100g), Cu (0.722 ± 0.001 mg/100g), Mn (0.514 ±…
ABSTRACT This study was designed to evaluate the magnesium content of some leafy vegetables used for soup meals in Akwa Ibom State. The analysis of the samples were carried out using standard analytical procedures. The result of the analysis revealed the following Telferials occidentalis (17.25±0.219), Lasianthera Africana (19.89±0.120), Heinsia crinata (25.72±0.021), Gnetum Africana (14.41±0.156), Venonia…
