Background : The stimulant, empathogenic, euphoric, and hallucinogenic properties of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), also known as 'Ecstasy,' make it a popular drug among teenagers. These effects are thought to be caused by significant increases in dopamine, serotonin, and glutamate neurotransmission. However, little is known about Garcin...

Background The study was done to establish the neurotoxic effect of intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (ICV STZ)-induced brain insulin resistance, and also considered Zingiber officinale (Z. officinale) mechanism of action in ameliorating behavioural, molecular and histopathological changes associated with ICV STZ-induced brain insulin resistan...

Caffeine is globally consumed as a stimulant in beverages. It is also ingested in purified forms as power and tablets. Concerns have been raised about the potential consequences of intrauterine and early life caffeine exposure on brain health. This study modeled caffeine exposure during pregnancy and early postanal life until puberty, and the poten...

Background: Aluminum chloride (AlCl3 ) present in many manufactured consumable is considered as a toxic element. Aim: Our study evaluates the toxic effects induced by AlCl3 on the testes as well as the therapeutic tendency of Quercetin (QUE) agent as an antioxidant. Setting and design: In the department of Anatomy of Medical School. Methods a...

Introduction: Technological devices have become a very important part of our everyday life. These electronic devices create an artificial electromagnetic field (EMF) and emit radiofrequency radiations (RFR) which have been reported to have deleterious effects on various tissues in living organisms. Fish oil is a rich source of the n-3 (also known a...

Background: 3, 4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) causes neurological disorders. Garcinia kola (GK) has neuroprotective property. We investigated the neuroprotective roles of GK on MDMA-induced cerebellar damage. Method: Sixty male Wistar rats (120 - 160g), 5 months old were grouped into six (n =10). Rats were fed with normal chow and water ad...

Background: Repeated and regimented treatment with reserpine causes depression-like condition characterized by persistent mood disorder, feelings of severe despondency and dejection, thus altering the hippocampal morphology. Our study compared a well-known antidepressant (fluoxetine), with the potential of Zingiber officinale to ameliorate reserpi...

Introduction: Anatomy is currently a basic medical science bachelor program in Nigerian universities. The roles of anatomists in the Nigeria health, education and other relevant sectors are vaguely defined. Career prospects have been perceived to be very limited. Materials and methods: This study was a total population survey of all Nigerian pri...

Introduction: Skin bleaching is the act of using steroid- and chemical-containing products to lighten the skin. Hydroquinone and kojic acid are often used in skin bleaching creams. Hydroquinone was suspected to be harmful. This study investigated the effects of kojic acid and hydroquinone on the skin of adult female Wistar rats and the potential u...

Plastination is a modern method of preservation of biological specimens, including human cadavers. This study elucidated how temperature might affect plastination, noting that there is sparse scientific literature on this technique, especially from Africa. It is also relevant to the feasibility of adapting and adopting the technique as a feasible a...
