The use of functional foods and their bioactive constituents have been considered as a new approach in the prevention and management of type-2 diabetes and its complications. In this study, the effects of extracts of jute ...

Cold and immobilization stressors can generate oxidative stress as well as skeletal muscle fatigue. Free radicals cause oxidative degradation of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates molecules thereby compromising ...

This research investigated the effectiveness of nickel plated carbon steel and spray coated mild steel with base coat paint in sea water. Carbon steel samples were grinded and polished to obtain a mirror-like surface; which ...

The research studied the inhibitory effect of crude cocoa pod extract and ashed cocoa pod extract on the corrosion of API5L steel in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M H2SO4 using potentiodynamic polarization method at room temperature. ...

Human serum albumin (HSA) acts as a reservoir and transport protein for endogenous (e.g. fatty acids or bilirubin) and exogenous compounds (e.g. drugs or nutrients) in the blood. The binding of a drug to HSA is a major ...

The burden of colon cancer is compounded by the cost of therapy, which is unbearable for low-income earners and patients in developing countries. This has led to a continual search for alternative and affordable therapy. ...

The mechanical behaviour, corrosion and wear characteristics of Aluminium based hybrid composites reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and quarry dust (QD) particles was investigated in this research. This was aimed at ...

The objective of this study was to determine the functionality of acha flour and starch in their native and modified forms and produce biscuit with a blend of the flour, mango kernel seed and soy cake flours as well as ...

This study sought to investigate the effect of alkaloid extracts from seeds of two common spices; alligator pepper (Aframomum melegueta) and bastered melegueta (Aframomum danielli) on some enzymes relevant to erectile ...
