Assessment of In vivo Antioxidant properties of Dacryodes edulis and Ficus exasperata as Anti-Malaria Plants

The phytochemical profile and potential anti-oxidant properties of Dacryodes edulis and Ficus exasperata were evaluated. 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg of ethanol extracts were administered to albino rats for 7days; prior to 2 days CCl4 intoxication. Control groups were; Tween 80 (placebo), CCl4 (-ve control), Vit. E (+ve control). Tissue homogenates were used for assessing the Thiobarbituric…

Analysis of Pollution Status of River Illo, Ota, Nigeria

An assessment of the pollution status of River Illo, located within River Owo catchments area in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, was carried out. The River’s response to deoxygenation due to BOD loading from an abattoir and its dissolved oxygen (DO) level was predicted using the modified Streeter-Phelps model. The average concentrations of measured parameters at

In vivo antioxidant assessment of two antimalarial plants-Allamamda cathartica and Bixa orellana

To determine the free radical scavenging potentials pytochemical constituents of ethanol leaves extracts of Allamanda cathartica and Bixa orellana and thus their use in Agbo” – local antimalarial preparation. Ethanol extracted plant samples were administered in 50mg/ml, 100mg/ml and 200mg/ml to Albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) and intoxication with Carbontetrachloromethane – CCl4 [1ml/kg…

An Assessment of the Impact of Abattoir Effluents on River Illo, Ota, Nigeria

The aim of this research was to assess the impact of abattoir effluents on River Illo in Ota, Nigeria. In order to achieve this set objective seven sampling locations were chosen along the river course. The choice of locations was to reflect the variations in concentrations of the following important parameters of water quality issue:

Genetic diversity, taxonomy and legumins implications of seed storage protein profiling in Fabaceae

Proteomic evidences can be pivotal to the discovery of new plant proteins and plant relationships, due to the diversity of form it can reveal. Seed storage protein profiles of 20 Fabaceae species: 4 grainlegumes and 16 non-pulses; of 16 genera and 10 tribes were analysed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to estimate

Implications of seed ergastic substance–based diversity in some polygonaceae taxa

The importance plant ergastic products have predispose seeds as major food, medicinal and industrial resources and ultimately have made plant seeds target of researches on different platforms. Seeds of 27 Polygonaceae species of five genera were analyzed for ergastic substances deposits as well as to ascertain the degree of diversity within the family using rescaled
