The qualitative and quantitative phytochemical composition of Cymbopogon flexuosus plant leaves were investigated using standard methods. Eight Phytochemical families were detected. Amongst those detected are phenolic acid, saponins, glycosides, cyanogenic glycosides, alkaloids, anthocyanins, flavonoids and sterols. Seven phenolic acids were quanti...

This study investigated and compared the hepatotoxicity of aqueous leaf extract of T. occidentalis from crude oil impacted soil and impacted soil amended with Pleurotus ostreatus, non-ionic and phyto-emulsified surfactants. Crude oil highly impacted soil excavated from an oil spill site at Obeche community in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area...

This study investigated the comparative remediation potentials of Pleurotus ostreatus and triton x-100 on some physico-chemical properties of crude oil impacted soil. Crude oil highly impacted soil excavated from an oil spill site at Okarki community in Ahoada West Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria was used. Remediation was induced usi...

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used in relieving pain and reducing fever. In this study, the short-term and prolonged effects of aspirin on the lipid profile were investigated using wistar rats. Eighteen (18) male wistar rats weighing between 135g-217g were divided into 2 main batches (Short-term effects and prolo...

This study investigated the Single And Combinatorial Attenuating Potentials Of Phyto-Emulsified and Non-Ionic Surfactants on Crude Oil Impacted Soil. Crude oil highly impacted soil excavated from an oil spill site at Obeche community in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria was used. Attenuation was induced using phyto-em...

The Gas Chromatography-Flame lonization Detector (GC-FID) method was employed in this study to evaluate the phytochemical constituents of both the aqueous and petroleum ether extracts of phyllanthus amarus leaves. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed the presence of Alkaloids, Flavonoids Glycosides, Phenols, Saponins, and Tannins. Further ana...

The effect of drilling waste on urease activities and substrate-induced respiration in wetland soil of Niger Delta of Nigeria was investigated, using Fadama, mangrove and meander soils respectively. Urease activity and substrate-induced respiration (SIR) were measured after 1, 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 105 and 140 days of incubation to evaluate the ef...

The main objective of this study is to investigate the potentials of aqueous extract of Taraxacumofficinaleleaf on injury occasioned by thelong ingestion of Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Ibuprofen, in wistar rats. Rats weighing between 108-200g were used for the study. The ulcer was confirmed by administering 20mg/kgbw of the NSAID f...

Objective: One of the common gastrointestinal diseases is ulcer caused by several necrotic agents. Synthetic commercial drugs had been used to cure this damage but with some side effects. The aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant and ameliorative effects of aqueous extracts of T. officinale (T.O) on absolute ethanol - induced ulcer ra...

ABSTRACT The pollution from phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and heavy metals in the surface water of on a River in Ibadan city, Oyo State was assessed. Surface water samples were collected from 7 locations of the river catchment area in June 2011. Water samples were liquid-liquid extracted, preconcentrated and analyzed for detection and quantification...
