Abstract The nuclei of dates, from domestic consumption or as waste from the agro-food sector (date tab, syrup, oi etc.) on a small or large scale, or simply contained in the inedible dates, which remain abandoned in palm trees, are a very interesting material for the production of high value added products. They consist mainly […]

Abstract The dye stuff lost in the textile industry poses a major problem to wastewater sources. This paper reports an investigation into the effect of a number of operating factors on the removal of Allura Red AC from an aqueous solution through photocatalysis Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are effective processes in treating waters polluted by […]

Abstract The study was carried out to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of Allium sativum leaf on some biochemical parameters in carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage in albino rats. Twenty five male Wistar albino rats were used, comprising of five groups of five animals each. Rats in groups 2 and 3 were administered oral […]

Abstract Diabetes affects the heart muscle, causing both systolic and diastolic heart failure; both insulin deficiency and insulin resistance promote dyslipidemia. Effect of aqueous extract of Calotropis procera leaf was evaluated on lipid profile and atherogenic markers in alloxan-induced diabetic rat using standard procedures. Adult albino rats (Wistar strain) of mean weight 100.0±2.0g were randomised […]

Abstract The effect of aqueous extract of Citrullus lanatus (F) on acetaminophen-induced wistar albino rats was investigated. 25 male wistar rats were randomly shared into 5 groups of 5 rats per group and aqueous extract of Citrullus lanatus was administered orally to rats in groups 2 and 3 at 100 and 200mg/kg/per day respectively for […]

Abstract The present study is aimed to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of ethanolic extract of Momordica charantia root (EEMR) by two in-vitro models i. e. human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization and inhibition of protein denaturation. The standard drug was diclofenac sodium. The results of both models showed concentration dependent inhibition of protein (egg […]

Abstract In this research a new imine counting N2O5 donor atoms have synthesized. The new compound was prepared by reaction of 1,7-bis(6- methoxy -2- formyl phenyl)-1,4,7,10,14-penta oxa tetra decane with benzedine. The imine was purified by chromatographic column filled with silicagel, eluted with chloroform. Identification of this imine: 1,21- Diaza– [3,4-18,19- di (6, ‘6- methoxy […]

Abstract Fortified soymilk extracted from 12hrs tap water steeped and 72hrs sprouted TGX 923-2E soybean variety was optimized using central composite design (CCD). Box-Wilson (1951) experimental design matrix was used for the fortification which comprised three variable factors (K=3) namely ferric ammonium citrate (Fe), calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and vitamin C (VC). Data on each run […]

Abstract The concentration of some heavy metals were determined in farm soil and vegetable samples of spinach (Amaranthu sspinosus) and water leaf (Talinum triangulare) collected around the mechanic village at Keteren-Gwari, Minna metropolis, Niger State Nigeria during the dry season. Metal concentration in both soil and vegetable samples were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) […]

Abstract As an alternative medicine to treat diabetes mellitus, many herbal drugs are being studied throughout the world. In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the anti-diabetic activity of Bambusa Arundinacea. Leaves extracts in different dosages (200, 500 and 600 mg/kg b.w.) in alloxan induced diabetic albino rats. The drug was administered […]
