The Influence of Moringa Oleifera Leaf Powder on Organosomatic Index, Condition Factor and Glucose Profile of Clarias Gariepinus
Abstract The effect of Moringa oleifera leaf powder on the organosomatic index (gill, kidney, liver, heart and spleen), condition factor and glucose profile was carefully examined in this study. It was observed that the responses of Clarias gariepinus juveniles (mean length, 29.8±1.40cm SD; mean weight, 203.3± 5.11g SD g) exposed to 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and […]
Organic Farming: A Healthy Farming System
Abstract Organic farming works in harmony with nature rather than against it. This involves using techniques to achieve good crop yields without harming the natural environment or the people who live and work in it. A range of organic methods can be used at the same time to allow them to work together for the […]

Abstract Research on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bay leaves (Syzygium polyanthum (WIGHT) Walp) has been carried out from hexane, acetone, ethanol and water extracts. This study aims to analyze the chemical compounds contained in each extract of hexane, acetone, ethanol, and water from bay leaves, and determine the secondary metabolic content contained in […]
A Review on Glycosylation: An Effective Synthetic Strategy for Glucosides with Therapeutic Potential
Abstract This review highlights various methods for the synthesis of glycoconjugates and recent progress in the development of glycosylated derivative therapeutics. Review lies in the discussion of recent mechanistic theories and supporting experimental evidences on chemical glycosylation on compounds. The impact of glycosylation is noteworthy in overcoming the existing barriers that restrict oral and brain […]
A Phenolic Glycoside from Beauveria bassiana ILB 204 Fermentation Broth
Abstract In spite of the great advances in chemotherapeutics, infectious diseases are still one of the leading causes of death in the world. Thus, development of new antimicrobial compounds against different microorganisms and with new mechanisms of action is becoming critically important. In our continuous search for new antimicrobial molecules we screened the culture broth […]
The Status of Cancer Antigen 15-3 and Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 in Menopausal Women in Nnewi Metropolis
Abstract Background: Menopause is the time of life when menstrual cycles cease. Menopausal women are constantly exposed to biochemical and metabolic changes as some hormonal levels drop. These may subsequently give rise to some pathologic conditions. Aim: This study was aimed at assessing the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease in menopausal women in […]
