Changes in gene expression during animal development are largely responsible for the evolution of morphological diversity. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms responsible for the origins of new gene-expression domains have been difficult to elucidate. Here, we sought to identify molecular events underlying the origins of three novel features of wingless (wg) gene expression that are a...

background: garcinia kola seed is consumed indiscriminately in nigeria without recourse to its potential toxicity. therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the toxicity of the aqueous extract of g. kola seeds on selected tissues of male rats.  methods: thirty male rats (215.00 ± 18.58 g) were assigned into four groups: a, b, c and d which received 0.5 ml of distilled water, 25, 50 and 100 m...

In many animal groups, sexually dimorphic ornaments are thought to evolve by intraspecific competition or mate choice. Some researchers pointed out that monomorphic could also choice both sexes either sex. Many species of fruit fly have wing pigmentation. However, involvement their in has not been tested. We aimed examine whether the polka-dotted pattern on wings Drosophila guttifera contribute...

Hyperin is a flavonoid compound derived from Ericaceae, Guttifera, and Celastraceae that has been shown to have various biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects. However, there is no evidence to show the protective effects of hyperin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Therefore, we investigated the protective effects and mechanism of hyp...
