EFFECTS OF ORAL ZINC SUPPLEMENTATION IN EARLY NEONATAL LIVE ON DEVELOPMENT OF OBESITY AND METABOLIC SYNDROME IN ALBINO RATS
Background: Zinc (Zn) is the most common trace element in eukaryote cells and the second most abundant trace element in human tissues and secretions after iron. Zinc is required for normal growth and development from in uteri to puberty. There is a lack of evidence on Zn as a potential therapeutic agent to reduce weight and improve metabolic parameters in obese adults. Aim: to evaluate Zn suppleme...

SIMULTANEOUS VOLTAMMETRIC DETERMINATION OF PERACETIC ACID AND THE COEXISTENT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE USING CARBOSITALL ROTATION ELECTRODE
The aim of the present work is to determine the feasibility of peracetic acid (PAA) and the coexistent hydrogen peroxide (HP) simultaneous quantitative determination in disinfectant solution by voltammetry using carbositall rotation electrode (CE) as indicating electrode. It has been experimentally proved that the optimum pH for analysis is approximately 3.6. The linear relationship has been obse...

ANTI-DIABETIC AND ANTI-OBESITY EFFECT OF FUNCTIONALLY ACTIVE PROTEINS OBTAINED FROM SEVEN EDIBLE INSECTS
The bioactive peptides derived from food have increased consideration for their function in averting numerous chronic diseases, comprising, diabetes and obesity. Edible insects are the feasible composition of bioactive peptides owing to their high protein content and viable production. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic and anti-obesity effects of seven edible insects’ prot...

COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE PHARMACOKINETICS OF IBUPROFEN ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH PIPERINE AND ITS SYNTHETIC DERIVATIVES AS A POTENTIAL BIOENHANCER
Ibuprofen has a higher dose (2000-2400 mg/day) that leads to several adverse effects like stomach upset, headache, bloating, hyperacidity, diarrhea, nausea, constipation, mild heartburn, ringing in your ears, vomiting and blurred vision. Piperine is a natural alkaloid obtained from piper species, principally from Piper longum and Piper nigrum (Family: Piperaceae). Piperine demonstrates excellent b...

STUDIES ON PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF LEAF EXTRACTS OF TERMINALIA TOMENTOSA WIGHT & ARN.
The present work aimed to screen the phytochemical constituents and antibacterial activity in leaves of different extracts of Terminalia tomentosa (Combretaceae). Phytochemical analysis was performed to check the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, steroids, saponins, tannins, anthocyanins, lignins, and glycosides. The antibacterial activity of aqueous, ethanol and methanol extr...

IN-SILICO SCREENING AND MODELING OF DELETERIOUS nsSNPs IN HUMAN GENE FBN1 FOR MARFAN SYNDROME
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a common dominant inherited disorder that affects connective tissue, which is associated with mutation of the gene FBN1. The protein encoded by this gene contributes to the final structure of microfibrils. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of this gene links to variations in gene expression phenotypically among patients. Therefore SNPs would be the main target for ide...

EVALUATION OF PLASMA GLUCOSE AND SERUM LIPID PROFILE LEVELS AMONG STUDENTS IN NNEWI CONSUMING GLYCINE MAX (SOYA BEAN)
Medicinal plants are becoming globally recognized because of their acclaimed therapeutic potentials. This study evaluated the plasma glucose and serum lipid profile levels among university students consuming Glycine max (Soya bean) in Nnewi, Nigeria. A total of thirty (30) apparently healthy male subjects aged between 18 and 30 years were randomly recruited from medical students to serve as both t...

PHYTOCHEMICAL EVALUATION AND DETERMINATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF AEGLE MARMELOS
Free radicals are unstable molecules that are formed during normal cell metabolism through chemical changes that take place in a cell. This causes damage to cellular components such as cells, proteins, and DNA, or the cell membrane. Free radicals play a role in a complex interplay of different mechanisms in both normal agings, neurodegenerative, and other diseases. Aqueous and methanolic solvent ...

EVALUATION OF IN-VITRO ANTHELMINTIC POTENTIAL OF UMBELLIFERONE AGAINST PHERETIMA POSTHUMA
Objective: The present study was aimed to evaluate the in-vitro anthelmintic potential of isolated phytoconstituent umbelliferone against Pheretima Posthuma (Indian earthworm). Methods: Three different concentrations (10, 20, 30 mg/ml in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) of umbelliferone were prepared, and six worms of similar type were placed in it. Observations were made for the time taken for paralysis...

DISSOLUTION METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION FOR DERACOXIB CHEWABLE TABLET USING UV SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC METHOD
Deracoxib is a coxib class of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID). Like other NSAIDs, its effects are caused by inhibition of Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Deracoxib causes greater inhibition of COX-2 than of COX-1. The aim of this proposed method was to develop and validate the UV spectrophotometric method for the routine quality control check of API containing 25 mg Deracoxib intablet...
