The exposure of humans to oxidative stress inducing chemicals is on the increase due to global industrialization. It has become vital to source for solution by searching for medicinal plants with antioxidant potential. This study was carried out to evaluate the toxicological effect and the antioxidant potential of Calotropis procera in fipronil induced Wister... Continue here
A global change in dietary habits has led to the introduction of sweeteners in foods. This study investigated the effect of concentrations of sucrose on liver enzymes and serum protein levels in Wistar rats. Thirty-five (35) Wistar rats were equally randomized into seven groups and fed with a rat diet mixed with sucrose at concentrations of 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, and... Continue here
This study was conducted to investigate the abundance and diversity of plankton as well as the physicochemical properties of the Lower Benue River. The survey was carried out at different sites along the river both at Wadata and BSU Water Board. Samples were collected using plankton net into bottles preserved in 5% formalin and then transported to the laboratory... Continue here
Physicochemical parameters and plankton diversity in water from five (5) selected ponds was investigated. In the investigation, some physicochemical parameters of water, the composition and abundance of plankton were determined. Some of the parameters include temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, nitrates and phosphate. The samples were... Continue here
