Aims: This study investigated the impact of malaria concurrently occurring with typhoid on plasma, erythrocytes, and lipoproteins lipid profile. Materials and Methods: Cholesterol, triacylglycerol (TAG) phospholipids (PLs), and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) were determined spectrophotometrically in controls and patients presenting at the Out-Patient Clinic of the State Hospital, Abeokuta, Nigeria. Results: The presence of either or both parasitic infections provoked dyslipidaemia when compared with the controls. Dyslipidaemia was characterised by significant (P < 0.05) decreased plasma, erythrocytes, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol; however very LDL (VLDL) cholesterol increased. While hypertriglyceridemia was observed in plasma, hypotriglyceridemia was observed in the erythrocytes of the patients. In HDL, hypertriglyceridemia was observed in malaria-infected patients whereas hypotriglyceridemia was observed in typhoid-infected and co-infection subjects. Malaria and/or typhoid induced phospholipidaemia in plasma and erythrocytes, but provoked decreased HDL-phospholipids (PLs) only in malaria-infected patients. Malaria and/or typhoid elicited decreased LDL+VLDL-PLs. While increased plasma NEFAs concentration was observed in malaria-infected patients; malaria and co-infection resulted in decreased erythrocytes NEFAs. Malaria and/or typhoid caused decreased cholesterol/phospholipids molar ratio in plasma, erythrocytes, and HDL. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that parasitic protozoa and bacterial infections produce a plethora of effects on lipid metabolism, ranging from up-/down-regulation of certain lipid metabolites. These may be early biochemical events in the induction of atherosclerosis by parasitic infections.","PeriodicalId":16955,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND REVIEW IN SCIENCE","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76878904","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 station spectrum analyzer measures its received beacons total attenuation at 12.245 GHz and elevation angle 59.9o to Astra satellites located at 28.2oE. Daily maximum, minimum and mean temperatures; rain amount, wind speed and direction as well as time of occurrence of each of these weather parameters were also measured. Then the radiometric data including acquired radiosonde data were analysed under rainy and non-rainy conditions, to obtain cloud attenuation contribution from the total attenuation measured per minute. The various data used range in measurement periods between four and fifty-eight years. The outputs were used to compute the station cumulative distributions for the existing cloud models and for the integrated station’s data. Statistical analysis comparing the two cumulative distributions show a high difference between the measured data and existing models’ predicted values. Hence a cloud attenuation computation algorithm and its simulation program were developed and used to derive a new tropical cloud attenuation model.

Aims: To investigate the heavy metals concentration in underground water around the Solous dumpsite in Igando Lagos State, Nigeria and its effect on human. Materials and Methods: water samples from 12 different locations within a distance range of 0.07 - 0.72 km was collected. And a structured questionnaire was administered to 120 respondents to find out their perceptions about the dumpsite environment and ill-health effect of their drinking water. The physicochemical parameters was measured and heavy metals concentration of the water samples were determined using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. Results: The water samples from the 12 sites contains heavy metals concentrations: Lead (Pb) (0.08-1.20mg/L), Cadmium (Cd) (0.03-0.08mg/L), Iron (Fe) (1.4-12.3mg/L), Nickel (Ni) (0.08-0.19mg/L), Zinc (Zn) (0.05-0.13mg/L) and Manganese (Mn) (0.01-0.04mg/L) respectively. It was revealed that age, educational qualification and year of living in the community of the respondents explain a significant amount of the variance in the value of the perception of the respondents on effect of heavy metal contamination. The result shows that over 75% of the respondents was not sure of any prior ailment linked to any heavy metal contamination affecting anyone among them. Conclusion: all water samples collected were contaminated by heavy metals and respondents using this water are ignorant of the danger. Thus, there is a need for proper provision of safe alternative water supply to the dumpsite community for domestic use and awareness on environmental heavy metal toxicity from drinking water to avert global health challenges.","PeriodicalId":16955,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND REVIEW IN SCIENCE","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74571567","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}

This study was carried out to investigate diabetes mellitus on esterases and antioxidant enzymes in different tissues compartments of rats. Animals were divided into two groups of 10 animals each. The experimental group was confirmed diabetic by a single dose of streptozotocin injection (STZ, freshly dissolved in citrate buffer, pH 4.5, 50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. In contrast, the control group was injected with citrate buffer only. Blood glucose and weight of the animals were monitored for 7 days. Blood, liver and brain were removed, and biochemical parameters determined spectrophotometrically. Diabetes produced various degrees of alterations in antioxidant defence mechanism and esterases activities that are compartment specific. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity was inhibited to various extents. While AChE was inhibited to the tune of 39% in plasma, 33% in the brain and 30% in the liver, activation of the activity was observed in the red blood cell (RBC). The same trend of significant (p < 0.001) inhibition was observed with arylesterase in the plasma, brain and liver, and activation in the RBC. Diabetes induced significant (p<0.001) inhibition in catalase, Glutathione-S-transferase, and Superoxide dismutase in the brain and liver, respectively, compared to control more than the other compartments. However, activation was also observed in the RBC of these enzymes except for catalase and nitric oxide.
