TOXICOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF CONSUMPTION OF BENZENE-POLLUTED WATER ON THE HEART AND BLOOD OF ALBINO RATS
The long-term effects of daily consumption of benzene-contaminated water over a period of Sixty-five days on rats’ cellular system were inspected. Haematological parameters such as haemoglobin, packed cell volume etc were determined. Standard enzyme assays were conducted on some enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase) activities of the heart and serum. Signific...

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TRANSITION METAL COMPLEXES OF N’-[(2Z, 3E)-3-(HYDROXYIMINO) BUTAN-2-YLIDENE] BENZOHYDRAZIDE
Synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes of ligand N'-[(2Z,3E)-3-(hydroxyimino) butan-2-ylidene] benzohydrazide are reported. The ligand is monobasic and bidentate in nature. The molar conductivities reveal that all the metal complexes are non-electrolyte. The metal complexes have been characterized on the basis of spectral and magnetic studies. Co(II) ion form...

ERYTHROCYTES AS A POTENTIAL CARRIER FOR CHRONIC SYSTEMIC DISEASES
Chronic systemic diseases are diseases which require long term drug therapy. Parenteral controlled drug delivery system is often used to treat these diseases. Vesicular bodies like liposome are commonly used as Parenteral controlled depot formulation. It possess disadvantage that they are rapidly removed from body by phagocytosis because they are considered as hapten. So formulating a slow relea...
