Anticoccidial effects of Khaya senegalensis aqueous stem bark extract on broiler chickens experimentally infected with Eimeria species
(Springer, 2020)Graded concentrations (200, 400 and 800 mg/kg) of the aqueous stem bark extract of Khaya senegalensis was evaluated for its therapeutic efficacy against experimentally induced coccidiosis in broiler chicken. The phytochemical ... -
Biosynthesis, electrochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant studies of silver nanoparticles mediated by talinum triangulare aqueous leaf extract
(Springer, 2017)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized using leaf extract of Talinum triangulare (TT). The nanoparticles were characterised using Infra-red spectroscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron ... -
Coordination behaviours of new (bidentate N,O-chelating) Schiff bases towards copper(II) and nickel(II) metal ions: synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and DFT studies
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)Two Schiff bases, HL1 and HL2, were synthesized in two different reactions involving 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde with 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole and 2-amino-6-florobenzothiazole respectively. Copper(II) and nickel(II) ... -
Effects of exercise on alterations in redox homeostasis in elite male and female endurance athletes using a clinical point-of-care test
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016)Exercise causes alterations in redox homeostasis (ARH). Measuring ARH in elite athletes may aid in the identification of training tolerance, fatigued states, and underperformance. To the best of our knowledge, no studies ... -
Evaluation of the antioxidative potential of diisopropyldithiocarbamates sodium salt on diclofenac-induced toxicity in male albino rats
(Elsevier, 2022)Diclofenac (DIC) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is known to induce oxidative stress. Dithiocarbamates are compounds with proven antioxidant effect. The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
Hybrid compounds from thiosemicarbazone and triazole as antidiabetic agents and their antioxidant potentials
(Allied Academies, 2017)Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that threatens and reduces the quality of life. Eight hybrids (1ah) of thiosemicarbozone and triazole were screened for their effects on genes related to type 2 diabetes as well as ... -
Natural antioxidant vitamins: a review of their beneficial roles in management of diabetes mellitus and its complications
(Pharmacotherapy Group, 2016)Diabetes mellitus is a complex and progressive metabolic disease which is associated with multiple complications. Chronic hyperglycaemia is the defining characteristic of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycaemia leads to generation ... -
The plasma bioavailability of nitrate and betanin from Beta vulgaris rubra in humans
(Springer, 2017)Purpose To evaluate the plasma bioavailability of betanin and nitric oxide (NOx) after consuming beetroot juice (BTJ) and whole beetroot (BF). BTJ and BF were also analysed for antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content ... -
Synthesis, characterization, DFT calculations and molecular docking studies of metal (II) complexes
(Elsevier, 2017)Two novel ligands, 2-methyl-6-[(5-methyl benzothiazol-2-ylimino)-methyl]-2-methoxycyclohexa-1,5-dienol (HL1) and 2-methyl-6-[(5-floro-benzothiazol-2-ylimino)-methyl]-2-methoxycyclohexa-1,5-dienol (HL2) were synthesized ...
