  • Effect of Thymus vulgaris leaf extract on cadmium-induced testicular toxicity in rats

    • Authors: Onoja, Remigius Ibe;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Chukwudi, Chinwe Uzoma; Ugwueze, Emmanuel Uchechukwu; Anyogu, Davinson Chuka; Obidah, Wilson; Emesiani, Benjamin Ifechukwu (2021)

  • The testicular and epididymal weights, serum concentration of follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower in the cadmium-treated group compared to the control. Necrosis of germ cells of the seminiferous tubules was observed in the testicular tissues of the cadmium-treated group. Administration of extract showed mild but non-significant (p ≥ 0.05) protective effect on the cadmium-induced decrease in sex hormones and sperm count as well as oxidative stress and histological changes.

  • Importance of phosphate pock application for sustaining agricultural production in Egypt

    • Authors: Hellal, F.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: El-Sayed, S.; Zewainy, R.; Amer, A. (2019)

  • In Egypt, the natural phosphate rock is located in Sebaiya (Nile Valley), Safaga (Red Sea), and Abu Tartur (Western Desert). The higher the organic matter contents in soil, the better dissolution of the PR. Legumes are particularly suited for the use of PR. Biological solubilization of phosphate rock is more environmentally friendly than acidulation. Fungi are widely used as producers of organic acids, and particularly, some Aspergillus and Penicillium species have been directly introduced into the soil in order to solubilize the phosphate rock. Biological solubilization will make phosphorous available for plant use with minimum pollution to the environment. Phosphate rock inoculated ...

  • Neuroprotective activity of Ipomoea cairica leaf extract against cadmium chloride-induced biochemical changes in the brain of male Wistar rats

    • Authors: Ilesanmi, Omotayo B.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Odewale, Temitope Temiloluwa; Avwioroko, Oghenetega J.; Alqarni, Mohammed; Obaidullah, Ahmad J.; Atanu, Francis O.; Binang, Toyin; Batiha, Gaber El-Saber (2022)

  • Exposure to cadmium is implicated in the etiology of some neurodegenerative diseases. Compounds isolated from Ipomoea cairica extract are neuroprotective. However, there is no reported neuroprotective activity of the crude extract of I. cairica (ICE). We investigated the neuroprotective activity of I. cairica extract against cadmium-induced biochemical changes in the brain of male Wistar rats. Thirty-six animals were divided into four groups of 9 animals per group: group I (Control); group II (3.5 mg/kg CdCl2); group III (100 mg/kg ICE + CdCl2); and group IV (250 mg/kg ICE + CdCl2). Animals were pretreated with 100 and 250 mg/kg ICE before co-administration with cadmium chloride.
