ABSTRACT This study was carried out to investigate the effect of leachate toxicity on the male reproductive parameters. The research objective was to determine the effect of leachate exposure on body weight, reproductive organs weight, serum level of testosterone and luteinizing hormone, semen variables including sperm count, motility, and morphology of adult male Sprague-dawley rats. Thirty adult male Sprague-dawley rats weighing between 180-250g were used for this study and they were r...
Brain disorders have been linked with heavy metal toxicity such as lead toxicity. Solanum lycopersicum has been reported to be useful in the treatment of brain disorders. However, there are few reports on it's effect on neurotoxicity induced by lead acetate in rats. . This study was designed to investigate the effect of ethyl acetate extract of Solanum lycopersicum (EESL) on neurotoxicity and oxidative stress induced in male wistar rats

ABSTRACT It is generally known that some types of dust impairs lung function. This study was designed with the aim to access if occupational exposure to wood dust from sawing and plaining of wood can impair the lung function of carpenters in Akim and Akai Efa timber market, Calabar. 40 subjects each for both test and controls were used for this study. The test group consisted of carpenters while the other 40 subjects used consist of 40 blue collar workers who had no obvious adverse occupation...
The purpose of this study was to observe the least amount of acute restraint stress that was needed to produce significant changes in the oxidative stress parameters.Stress may be defined as a complex dynamic condition in which the homeostasis of an organism is disturbed or threatened. Several studies have reported on the effects of stress on the body and on the heightened susceptibility of the brain amongst other organs to the effects of stress. In this study we aim at checking how, and to w...
