The leaves of Cnestis ferruginea are used in traditional African medicine to treat numerous pathologies, including infertility. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea leaves on sexual parameters in male rats. The sexual parameters (latency of mating, latency of intromission, latency of ejaculation and mean copulation interval) were assessed by the classical method by administering distilled water, sildenafil citrate (reference molecule) called Viagra at the dose of 5 mg/kg and the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea leaves at the dose of 100 mg/kg per day for eight days to three batches of male rats respectively. These parameters were determined over a period of thirty minutes. The results obtained show that the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea leaves at a dose of 100 mg/kg of body weight significantly (p < 0.001) decreases the latency time of mating and the latency time of intromission, whereas this extract significantly (p < 0.001) increases the latency time of ejaculation and the average copulation interval. These results suggest that the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea leaves has aphrodisiac potentialities which are due to the presence of sterols, flavonoids and saponosides in this extract.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124730583","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}

Qualitative phytochemical tests performed with the aqueous extract of Pseudarthria hookeri (Fabaceae) leaves revealed the presence of sterols, polyterpenes, polyphenols, catechic tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, quinones and saponosides. The acute toxicity study of the aqueous extract of Pseudarthria hookeri leaves in female mice gave an estimate, according to the OECD-423 guidelines, of the 50% lethal dose (LD50). The results show that the administration of aqueous extract of Pseudarthria hookeri leaves at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and then at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw did not induce any mortality in these animals during 14 days of observation; this allows us to conclude that aqueous extract of Pseudarthria hookeri leaves is not toxic by the oral route. Anemia was induced by administration of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (4 mg/kg bw) for 6 days. Oral administration of aqueous extract of Pseudarthria hookeri leaves at doses of 50, 200, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw and the reference treatment (Ranferia hookeri) for 6 days did not induce anaemia. and the reference treatment (Ranferon®) resulted in normalization of red blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, mean corpuscular haemoglobin volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and Mean corpuscular haemoglobin level (MCHL) in anaemic rats compared to the white control rats. In conclusion, this study showed that Pseudarthria hookeri leaves have similar properties to Ranferon® in rats, which justifies the traditional use of this plant in the treatment of anaemia.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114669488","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}

SARS-CoV-2 is thought to spread from person to person through droplets released when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. It may also be spread by touching a surface with the virus on it and then touching one’s mouth, nose, or eyes, but this is less common. There are four trusted source subtypes of coronavirus - alpha, beta, gamma, and delta and scientists use these classifications to categorize the various species. Among all the corona viruses, seven have affected humans. Four of these are common and cause mild illnesses in the upper and lower airways, nose, sinuses, throat, and lungs. The remaining three can cause more severe illness.

The study reveals that the 96h LC50 value of Quinalphos to T. tubifex and O. mossumbicus were 6.28 μg/l and 5.35 μg/l respectively. Besides, the exposed worms and fish also exhibited erratic behavioral responses at the acute level. Acute exposure of Quinalphos to T. tubifex induces alterations in oxidative stress enzymes including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione S-transferase (GST), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Additionally, chronic exposure of Quinalphos to O. mossumbicus showed increasing the levels of liver CAT, SOD, GST, MDA, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Sublethal levels of Quinalphos elicited substantial changes in protein, glucose, albumin and creatinine of fish in compare to control. Quinalphos also effects different growth (GSI, SGR, FCR) and hematological parameters (the red blood cell, haemoglobin and haematocrit) of treated fish. Moreover, by using integrated biomarker response (IBR) and biomarker response index (BRI) the change in the health status of pesticide exposed fish was determined. These results indicate that Quinalphos alters the survivability and behavioral responses of T. tubifex and O. mossambicus at the acute level and changes the oxidative stress biomarkers, biochemical and hematological parameters of the fish during chronic exposure.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130037365","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}

A dimple, also called a gelasin (from Latin gelasinus) is a small natural indentation in the skin on a part of the human body, most notably in the cheek. Cheek dimples when present, show up when a person makes a facial expression, such as smiling, whereas a chin dimple is a small line on the chin that stays on the chin without making any specific facial expressions. The presence or absence of dimple is an important anthropological feature of the human face that can be used as a means of identification on the living, for a family, group of people, and tribes. The paucity of literature on the prevalence /distribution of dimple among the Idoma people and the other tribes in Benue State informed this study. Results and discussions: The survey showed that 60.3% of the indigenous tribes had dimple. Again, the distribution of the dimple among the population showed that 59.9% had cheek dimple, while 40.1% had chin dimple. The most dominant age group was 33-47 years, the most common religion was Christianity, participants who had tertiary education were more predominant, for marital status, the dominant group were married/cohabiting. The comparison of dimple distribution and the sociodemographic characteristics showed that only level of education significantly (p=0.04) associated with dimple distribution. Conclusion: The survey showed that 60.3% of the indigenous tribes had dimple. The distribution of the dimple among the population showed that 59.9% had cheek dimple, while 40.1% had chin dimple. The survey shows that three in five persons had dimple in the population, one in four persons had chin dimple, and three in eight persons had cheek dimple. The result of this study could be used as a baseline data for the Idoma people.","PeriodicalId":199401,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122209276","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}
