The chemopreventive effects of kolaviron, a natural antioxidant bioflavonoid from the seeds of Garcinia kola, on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced genotoxicity and hepatic oxidative damage was investigated in rats. Kolaviron administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg once a day for the first 2 weeks and then 100 mg/kg twice a day for the last 4 weeks of AFB1 (2 mg/kg, single dose, intraperitoneal) tr...

Glycine, Alanine and Valine are taken as amino acids with an equal polar head and with thedifference in the length of hydrocarbon chains. The structural optimizations show the results of theisolated Glycine, Alanine and Valine in the gases phase, at the Hartree-Fock level by means ofSTO-3G,3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31+G basis sets. The calculations were performed for the ten (1-10)solvents using PCM m...

Objective: Based on the potential clinical and management significance of selected hematological serum biochemistry parameters, study aimed to establish reference ranges for juvenile Heterotis niloticus  (African bonytongue fish) a fish with significant aquaculture in Africa. Design procedure: Hematology biochemical were determined blood samples obtained from 243 healthy sampled three location...

Background: A majority of people widely use acetaminophen as a sedative. Overusing the drug for prolonged periods of time can lead to acute liver damage. Mumijo, as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory drug, could possibly reduce some of the acetaminophen-induced side effects on the liver. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Mumijo on the liver damage...

Abstract Background The accurate and comprehensive evaluation of liver reserve function is crucial for daily follow-up medical treatment patients with disease. However, existing techniques are too complex costly universal implementation.To develop a convenient, reliable method to evaluate based on eight biochemical indicators measured from venous blood. Methods Blood test results (albumin (Alb)...

The efficacy of varying levels mycotoxin binder supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics and serum metabolites broiler chickens fed aflatoxin maize-based diets was assessed. A total four hundred thirty-two (432), one-day-old Hubbard Cobb hybrid broilers were used for the experiment. chicks equally weighed allotted to 12 dietary treatments in a 3 x 4 factorial arrangement a...

This paper reports density and speed of sound data for solutions of the ionic liquids (ILs) [C4mim]Cl and [C4mim][CF3SO3] in aqueous solution of 0.05 w/w amino acids of alanine, serine and proline at T = (288.15, 298.15, 308.15 and 318.15) K. From the experimental data measured, the apparent molar volume (Vϕ), isentropic compressibility ( ), and apparent molar isentropic compression ( ) have be...
