The nutritional and microbial safety of fish feeds were investigated in this study. Commercially available feed brands (Eco-float, Skretting, Top-Feeds, Blue Crown) procured from sales outlets Ogun State, Nigeria. Moisture ranged 8.15 to 8.82 these values not significantly different (p>0.05) except for Topfeed. Skretting had the highest crude protein value (48.49±0.03) while Ecofloat recorde...

statement of problem: candidal colonies make up a part of natural oral flora and are considered as predisposing factors for opportunistic infections. since hemodialysis leads to body immune suppression and make patients susceptible to opportunistic infections, it is useful to investigate the relationship between hemodialysis and such infections.purpose: the aim of the present research was to st...

Existing data suggest a negative correlation between maternal sleep deprivation and male offspring reproductive capability. However, there is dearth of information on the critical period of development during which reproductive organs may be programmed. Thirty pregnant rats were divided into six groups based on the Gestation Days (GD) during which they were sleep deprived as follows: GD 17 cont...

For both ecologists and physiologists, foliar physioecology as a function of spatially and temporally variable environmental factors such as sunlight exposure within a tree crown is important for understanding whole tree physiology and for predicting ecosystem carbon balance and productivity. Hence, we studied concentrations of nitrogen (N), non-structural carbohydrates (NSC = soluble sugars + ...
