Effects of Black Seed Oil on Oxidative Stress Parameters and Gingival Expression of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase in Diabetes and Periodontitis-Induced Rats
Using diabetic and periodontitis-induced rats, the effects of black seed oil on oxidative stress parameters and gingival expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase were examined in this study. Eight groups of forty eight were created. Rats from Group I were used as the Control group; they had unrestricted access to typical rat diet and were not given any medications. NS oil was given to the rats in group II in addition to their standard rat chow and water. In Group III animals, diabetes was induced without treatment.
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of a Pepper (Capsicum spp.) Collection Revealed by SSR Markers and Fruit Morphology
Studies on genetic diversity, population structure, and cross-transferability have chosen the simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker as their preferred marker. This study examined the genetic diversity and population structure of 22 Capsicum spp. collection accessions (C. annuum, C.
Aqueous Root Extract of Piliostigma thonningii Modulates the Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes and Lipid Levels in Paracetamol-Induced Damage in Rabbits
Paracetamol is notorious for causing liver damage due to excessive generation of free radicals due to overdose ingestion. The body has an antioxidant system comprising enzymes and non-enzymes, which help to mop up free radicals generated.
The Proximate and Phytochemical Analyses of Aqueous Root Extract of Piliostigma thonningii and its Effects on Indices of Well-being in Experimental Animals
Plants have constituted a significant quota to the sustainability of humans as food, medicines and raw materials for other uses. Increased awareness of the significance of medicinal plants led to more studies focused on the phytochemistry and proximate analysis of plants.
Analysis of Hematological Indices and Serum Immunoglobulin Levels (IgG and IgM) in Preeclamptic and Normotensive Pregnancies
Preeclampsia (PE) is a common complication during pregnancy, affecting 2–5% of pregnant women. It is believed to be associated with modulaton of immune response. This study investigated some hematological indices and serum levels of immunoglobulins- Ig G and IgM in pre-eclamptic and normotensive patients attending Ante-natal Clinic at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital Benin City, Nigeria.
