Habbatus sauda (Nigella sativa) is a plant commonly used as herbal medicine for treatment of diseases while nicotine is an addictive chemical that is present in cigarettes. The study was conducted to observe the effects of Habbatus sauda on histological structures of nicotine treated male rats’ seminal vesicles (SV) and prostate glands (PG). Rats were divided into five groups: Habbatus sauda co...

In this study, the qualify evaluation of noodles produced from wheat and almond seed composite flour was studied. A preliminary carried out to ascertain optimum acceptable level in noodle processing using 0-50%w/w, samples were subjected sensory most chosen. Hence, main varied within 5, 10, 15 20% w/w inclusion giving rise four samples. Functional properties, anti-nutrient content, proximate co...

The main aim of this study was to prepare thekua with the incorporation germinated finger millet also known as ragi, flour and perform its sensory well physicochemical analysis. wheat (ragi) were mixed variation at proportion 87.5:12.5, 81.25:18.75, 100:0, 75:25 93.75:6.25 labeled samples A, B, C, D E respectively., while semolina (20 g), sugar (30 oil g) water kept constant for every formulati...

Methods Patients with aSAH and occluded aneurysm who developed clinical signs of DCI were randomised to either induced hypertension or no induced hypertension. Hypertension was induced with norepinephrine. Cerebral perfusion was assessed with CTP as CBF (ml/100g/s) in predefined regions (ROIs) on two time points: CTP1) at time of clinical deterioration and CTP2) 24 36 hours after randomisation....

The study was conducted on 20 Polish Merino ram-lambs divided into two groups: experimental (E) and control (C), each of 10 animals. From birth all the lambs were maintained with their dams and then weaned at the age of 8 weeks, placed in individual straw-bedded pens and fattened individually with a granulated concentrate mixture until reaching a mean body weight of 31.8 kg. During fattening ea...

Based on increased demands of strict vegetarians, an investigation of vitamin B12 content in plant sources, was carried out. The vitamin B12 concentration was determined by RP-HPLC with UV detection, after prior matrix isolation by immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC). Vitamin B12 was extracted in the presence of sodium cyanide, to transform all forms of cobalamin into cyanocobalamin. Diode arra...

Selected physicochemical parameters, total phenolics, flavonoids and free radical scavenging activity of honey samples from the northern savannah region and southern rainforest ecosystems of Nigeria were investigated. Moisture and ash content of most samples were within acceptable limits. Total phenolic content ranged from 23.92 to 82.34mgGAE/100g for both ecosystems. Flavonoids varied between ...
