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…

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 (224.8) each. Group 1 was further administered with 400mg/kg of Andrographis paniculata  and Phyllanthus amarus at 50:50 dosage ratio. Group 2 and 3 were administered…

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 ± 0.014mg/100g) and Zn (0.520 ± 0.244mg/100g). this result indicate that Irvingia gabonensis seed is a poor source of micro-mineral and therefore, it is recommended that…

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 amydalina (23.65±0.226) the trend of increase in concentration of the magnesium content in the leaves sample is Hensia crinata< Vernonia amygdalina < Lasianthera africana <…

ABSTRACT The leaves of Gnetum africana, Lasianthera africana, Hensia crinata, Telfairia occidentalis, vernonia amygdalina was obtained, air-dried, and then reduced into powdery form. The powder obtained was used to determine the calcium content of each vegetables following standard laboratory procedures. The result revealed the presence of calcium to be higher in Hensia crinata (42.2050.289) followed by Gnetum africana (35.1750.049), Vernonia amygdalina (15.6250.120), Telfairia occidentalis (15.160.071) and Lasianthera africana (11.6950.403). The presence of calcium justifies the medicinal potential of these leafy…

ABSTRACT Garri is commonly consumed cassava product in Nigeria. Poorly processed/stored garri could  pose serious health risk to consumer. This study revealed  the microbial  load from ready to eat garri sold within eatery and restaurant in Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic Campus. The total bacteria count isolated from the prepared (ready to eat) garri in the different restaurants showed that sample C had the highest bacteria count of (6.8×104 cfu/g) while sample B had the least count of (3.3×104 cfu/g). the…

ABSTRACT This study examine the impact of crude oil price on inflation rate in Nigeria. The study made use of monthly data of Nigeria crude oil price and consumer price index from 2015-2019. The consumer price index was used as proxy for inflation rate i.e. inflation rate was measured by consumer price index (CPI). Correlation and regression analysis were the two major methods used in analyzing the data. The result of the correlation analysis revealed that there is a moderate…

ABSTRACTS Physiochemical parameters of water from London base bore hole were analyzed using standard chemical analytical procedures. The parameters tested for were odour, colour, taste, temperature, conductivity, TSS, total dissolving substances (TDS), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological Dissolved oxygen (BDO), Acidity, Alkalinity, sulphate and nitrate. The result revealed that the water sample were colourless, odourless and tasteless. The water sample had the temperature of 29.0. the conductivity test showed that the water sample has the value of 11.90NSCM followed by TSS…
