The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of oral administration of ethanolic extract of Justicia secunda on the liver of Wistar rats. \u0000Methodology: 30 adult female Wistar rats were grouped into 6, with each group consisting of 5 rats.The 1st group was on a normal diet and distilled water while the other groups received 250mg/bodywt, 300mg/bodywt, 350mg/bodywt, 400mg/body wt, 450mg/ body wt of ethanolic extract Justicia secunda for 42 days respectively . Their blood samples were analyzed for total and conjugated bilirubin, total protein, albumin, globulin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, Lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase. \u0000Findings: The liver tissues were also processed for histological examination. There was a statistically significant increase in ALT, AST, and ALP in group 4, and a statistically significant decrease in conjugated bilirubin seen in groups 5 and 6. The Histology revealed that the extract produced moderate but insignificant degeneration of hepatocytes. \u0000Unique contribution to policy, theory, and practice: Long-term administration is likely to contain toxic effects; caution should be taken in consuming this plant.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88438153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was conducted to investigate the diversity and abundance of soil arthropods in selected habitats in Jahangirnagar University campus, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sampling was conducted at three different habitats, viz., woodland (W), grassland with herbs (GH), and woodland with herbs (WH), from February 2022 to July 2022 using pitfall traps. A total of 9054 arthropods belonging to 19 different orders viz., Collembola, Diplura, Thysanoptera, Odonata, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Blattodea, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Isoptera, Lepidoptera, Acari, Araneae, Mesostigmata, Polydesmida, Isopoda, Scolopendrellida and Scolopendromorpha were collected. The most abundant order was Collembola (64.49%) followed by Diptera (12.89%), Hymenoptera (9.82%), Orthoptera (4.73%), Araneae (2.85%) and Coleoptera (1.38%), and the least abundant orders were Isoptera (0.17%), Scolopendrellida (0.13%), Thysanoptera (0.10%), Acai (0.09%), and Diplura (0.08%). Blattodea, Polydesmida, Lepidoptera and Isopoda represented 0.76%, 0.64%, 0.34% and 0.27% of the total captured individuals, respectively. The greatest number of individuals were collected from habitat-W (49.78%) followed by habitat-GH (28.32%) and habitat-WH (21.90%). The collembolans exhibited the highest abundance in all three habitats. Both the Shannon-Weiner index (H') and Pielou’s evenness index. (J') showed the highest score in habitat-GH (H'=1.49, J'=0.5), whereas the least score in habitat-W (H'=1.04, (J'=0.36). Information revealed in this study is expected to contribute to developing baseline data of arthropod fauna in Jahangirnagr University campus. More importantly, this information would help us monitor any change in the abundance and diversity of soil-dwelling arthropods in Jahangirnagar University campus.","PeriodicalId":13993,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fauna and Biological Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76645068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
