ABSTRACT The effect of ethanolic husk extract of nephelium lappaceum on the blood glucose, body and organ weight of alloxan induced male albino wistar rats, was assay using standard analytical procedures. Twenty five (25) male  albino wistar rats weighing between 109-124g were randomly divided into five groups of five rats in each group. Group I served as normal control, group II served as diabetic group and was given  150mg/kg body weight of  alloxan, group 111 served as the drug control…

ABSTRACT This study analyzed basic nutrient in rice bran with special emphasis on proximate compositions. It also considered toxicant standards. Basic analytical techniques were used. The results showed that moisture content, ash contents, crude fiber, crude fat, crude protein, carbohydrates and caloric and value in the sample were 5.5±0.5, 9.95±1.7, 9.25±0.4, 3.25±1.06, 10.05±0.01, 67.45±1.78, 253.45±3.28, respectively. The toxicants were phytate (2.10±0.13), oxalate (3.54±0.06), Tannins (4.34±0.04), HCN (6.53±0.04). The results show that rice bran because of its proximate composition and toxicant…

ABSTRACT This study was designed to analyze the heavy metals (Pb, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd) composition of Mangifera indica  (mango) leaf. The samples were analyzed using standard analytical procedure. The result of the analysis in mg/100g revealed the following, Pb (0.17±0.51), Fe (2.45±0.08), Cu (5.11±0.21), Zn (1.02±0.05) and in Cd (<0.01±0.00). The highest concentration of heavy metals in the sample was in copper  and the lowest was cadmium. The implication of this results are discussed. Keywords: Heavy metals, composition, mangifera…
