Background: Diabetes mellitus is a condition characterised by elevated blood glucose levels and oxidative stress, leading to various complications. Medicinal plants represent an important but under utilised source of antidiabetic and antioxidant phytochemical compounds. Objective: This study evaluated the phytochemical composition, in vitro antioxidant activities, and in vivo antidiabetic potential of Vernonia auriculifera Hiern bark extract in streptozo...

Polychlorinated biphenyls are toxic, manmade, organic chemicals that have hazardous effects on the environment and our health, yet their occurrence in sediments and water from drinking water sources in Ghana has not been extensively studied. This study focused on assessment of the PCB congeners and homologous profile of sites in the Pra River basin, an important drinking water source in Ghana, considered to be potentially contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). Sediment samples collect...

Montmorillonite, which consists essentially of clay minerals belonging to the smectite group, has a wide range of chemical and industrial uses. The chemical structure composition, the exchangeableion type, and the small crystal size of smectite are responsible for several properties, including a large chemical active surface area, a high cation exchanged capacity and interlamellar surface having usual hydratation characteristics. The present work aimed to develop an organic-clay based on montmor...

Crude oil spillage has tremendous environmental impacts and poses severe pollution problems worldwide due to the continuous activities and opera-tions in the oil and gas sector. This has resulted in the urgent need for cleanup techniques such as the use of natural adsorbents which are con-sidered a low-cost, readily available, efficient, eco-friendly, and easy-to-deploy method of handling oil spillage due to their high oil sorption capacity, high oil selectivity, oleophilic, enduring, reusa ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The United States is anticipated to experience 1,958,310 new cases of cancer and 609,820 cancer-related deaths in 2023. The most common cases of cancer are breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, thyroid cancer, bladder cancer, and liver cancer. Cancer treatment represents a major challenge for governments and the health and pharmaceutical fields, due to the high cost in addition to the presence of side effects. Plants are a rich source o...

The use of fruits both domestically and industrially generates waste from their discarded peels which may lead to environmental pollution and contamination. This work aims at evaluating the effects of chemical pre-treatment of biomass on the physicochemical properties and the effects of process parameters on the production of ethanol via solid-state fermentation. The biomass was dried, ground and subjected to chemical pretreatment using H 2SO 4 and NaOH. pH, total Titratable ...

The synthesis and characterization of Sesamum indicum seed oil have been thoroughly examined. The seed oil was extracted and utilized in formulating alkyds with varying oil lengths of 40%, 50%, and 60%. The in-situ process for the synthesis was analyzed, revealing significant properties associated with the different oil lengths, including changes in degree of polymerization, average molecular weight, and, notably, the extent of reaction favoring the 40% oil length alkyd resin. Furthermore, the c...

Aloe barbadensis Miller ( A. barbadensis) has been reported for use in the traditional management of malaria in Kenya. Aloin (an anthraquinone-C-gly-coside) is one of the therapeutic molecules in Aloe species that is responsible for their antimalarial effect. However, there is no report on the aloin content of A. barbadensis leaves latex and gel from Kenya. This study, therefore, isolated and quantified aloin levels in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) extracts of A. ...

According to Quantum Perspective Model, this article researches whether there is a link between the square root of seven numbers and the genetic sequences. At first, the square root digits of the number seven after the comma are added respectively. Secondly, the resulting sum corresponds to the nucleotide bases, the results obtained in this way are expressed as nucleotide bases. (A, T, C, G, and U). (A) Adenine, (T) Thymine, (C) Cytosine, (G) Guanine, (U) Uracil. From this point of view, when th...
