Abstract: Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the major microvascular complications in diabetes mellitus and is a leading cause of vision impairment worldwide. The condition usually arise due to the chronic exposure of retinal blood capillaries to high glucose, leading to dysruption in the tight junctions of retinal capillaries, increased vascular permeability, chronic inflammation, apoptosis, and neovascularization causing vitreous heamorrhage and tractional retinal detachment followed by irreversible vision loss. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the advanced stage of DR and is characterized by the formation of neovessels that are immature and leaky in nature....

Abstract: Background:The cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis is a food source of high nutritional quality thanks to the diversity and richness of its constituents. However, its production in a synthetic medium is very costly given the excessively high mineral element requirements of this micro-alga. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Musa paradisiaca peels crude extract on the growth, soluble protein content, general pigments and secondary metabolites quality of Arthrospira platensis....

Abstract: This study was designed to identify the phytochemicals from ethanolic extract of Syzygiumaromaticum(clove) using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometery (GC-MS) analysis against cancer. Various anticancer medications have been discovered due to advances in the health care industry though they have adverse side-effects. Anticancer drugs derived from natural sources have low side effects, making them good for cancer therapy. This study aimed....

Abstract: Samples of Vitex doniana and Bombax buonopense leaf were collected from Abakaliki metropolis. The edible portion were washed dried, ground into powdered and fed Albino rats for 21 days at different concentration ranging from 100, 200, 400 and 800mg/kg body weight of the Albino rats. Thereafter, the level of liver enzymes: AST, ALP, ALT and 5'-Nucleotidas were measured using standard procedures and histological analysis of the hepatic tissue was also conducted. From, the analysis the administration of the aqueous and methanol leaf extracts of....

Abstract: The renal toxicity associated with potassium bromate (KBrO3) treatment in both animals and humans have been reported. Irvingia gabonensis a perennial plant belonging to the family Irvingiaceae is known to elicit beneficial health effects. However, the influence of Irvingia gabonensis on the renal and hepatotoxicity associated with KBrO3 induced nephrone toxicity is unavailable in the literature. The current study evaluated the effects of Irvingia gabonensis on the dysfunctional renal and liver status triggered by KBrO3 exposure in rats. Experimental animals were exposed to KBrO3 (50mg/kg), co-treated with Irvingia gabonensis (500 mg/kg) and (1000 mg /kg) for 14 days. Results revealed that Irvingia gabonensis treatment significantly assuaged KBrO3-mediated....

Abstract: Background: A rising concern in recent years has been the entry of resistance genes into the food system through the amendment of soils with manure from animals treated with antibiotics. This study examined the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms (ARM) from selected manured farmlands. Materials and Methods: A total of 12 soil samples were collected randomly from farmlands (maize farm, yam farm, cassava farm and control soil) in 3 local governments (Enugu North, West and South) within Enugu State, Nigeria. Prior....
