AQUEOUS ROOT EXTRACT OF THE ANTIMALARIAL HERBAL CRYPTOLEPIS SANGUINOLENTA (LINDL.) SCHLTR DELAYS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL LANDMARKS AND SENSORIMOTOR SYSTEMS IN MICE
We demonstrated previously that the aqueous root extract of Cryptolepis sanguinolenta (cryptolepis), with cryptolepine as the major constituent adversely affect reproduction and foetal development in mice. However, very little is known on the effect of prenatal exposure of cryptolepis on the post-natal life of surviving animals. Using murine models, we report here, the effects of prenatal exposu...

TESTING EFFICACY OF HERBAL DRUG “FORTEGE” IN TREATMENT OF METAL INDUCED INFERTILITY IN MALE MICE
Fertility was tested in 0.5 mM/kg b. wt. (i.p) Lanthanum chloride exposed mice. Beneficial effects of “Fortege” an ayurvedic medicine (Alarsin co. Bombay) were also tested. Lanthanum chloride affected sperm count and motility. Lanthanum chloride could have affected Sertoli cells adversely and that have reduced sperm’s ability of uptake of fructose and as a result of it sperms became unable t...

IMPACT OF SODIUM AND POTASSIUM IONS IN IDENTIFICATION OF OFFSPRING GENDER IN HAMSTERS
Impacts of sodium and potassium in diet to determine offspring gender in hamsters have been investigated. Sex determination has scientific basis for prevention of genetic diseases in addition to social backgrounds.20 healthy hamsters chosen from the first generation of the previous experimental hamsters, were divided in to two groups in the hamsters male to female 1:5. The first group was Na and...

PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF USING POWER-ENHANCING DRUGS ON GYM-EXERCISING INDIVIDUALS
Exercising in a gym, largely aimed at getting a better-shaped body, is a long and tiring process. So many people opt for power enhancing drugs, boosting their athletic performance. These include steroids, erythropoietin, creatine, protein and zinc supplements among others. Together with increasing the muscle bulk, they exert highly undesirable effects on normal physiology. The subjects were asked ...

ANTI-ATHEROSCLEROTIC POTENTIAL OF PIOGLITAZONE AND N-ACETYLCYSTEINE
Atherosclerosis involves disturbances in endothelium and the resultant cascade of inflammatory reactions involving generation of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-g (PPAR-g) receptors are more expressed during atherosclerosis process and its stimulation results in inhibition of formation of atherosclerotic plaque. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) stimulates GSH (gluta...

SUPPRESSIVE EFFECT OF TEUCRIUM POLIUM ON OXIDATIVE DAMAGES AMONG EXPERIMENTAL STEATOHEPATITIS
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a metabolic disorder of the liver that may progress to fibrosis or cirrhosis. In the present study, we examined the possible preventive effect of an extract of Teucrium polium L. (Lamiaceae), a plant with high flavonoid content and antioxidant activity, on experimental NASH. To induce NASH, a methionine and choline deficient (MCD) diet was given to N-Mary ra...

ASSESSMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY, ANTIOXIDANT AND FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING ACTIVITIES OF THE ETHYLACETATE EXTRACT OF CALLIANDRA PORTORICENSIS ROOT BARK
Calliandra portoricensis a medicinal plant, is widely use in the treatment/management of various diseases in Nigeria. The ethyl acetate extract of the Calliandra portoricensis root bark were tested to evaluate the cytotoxicity, antioxidant (in vitro) and free radical scavenging activity. The different assay methods, including total antioxidant activity, free radical (nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical...
