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

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

The consumer price index was used as proxy for inflation rate i.e. inflation rate was measured by consumer price index (CPI). Correlation

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

ABSTRACT Evaluation of physicochemical properties of some different commercial sachets water was carried out using recommend standard methods. The result revealed that the pH, Temperature, Electrical conductivity, Alkalinity and Acidity were found to be within WHO desirable limits However, TDS, TSS, DO, BOD, SO42-, CL–, and NO3– ions values were found to be within WHO
