Abstract:

<em>One of the leading challenges to public health globally is diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition caused by irregular high level of glucose in the blood. However, therapeutic option mostly adopted is the use of natural plant derivatives. The potential protective effect of Telfairia occidentalis was evaluated in blood serum and kidney following Streptozotocin-induced toxicity in male Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly allocated into five groups: Group A: Streptozotocin – induced diabetic rats (animals injected with 50mg/kg b.

Abstract:

Aim: Telfairia occidentalis has been reported to possess numerous health benefits. This study assessed the histomorphological effect of aqueous leaf extract of Tefairia occidentalis on the liver architecture of wistar rats. Methodology: Sixteen adult female rats weighing between 140-240g were divided into four groups (I-IV) comprising of four (4) rats each. Group I, the control, was given normal rat feed with water, while group II, III, and IV were administered with 150mg/kg, 300mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight of aqueous leaf extract of Telfairia occidentalis orally respectively via intubation

Abstract:

The prevalence of infertility due to industrial, environmental and pharmaceutical toxins induced by lead in Nigeria and in developing countries is alarming. The use of medicinal plants as fertility enhancer in human is now in the increase because of the shifting of attention from synthetic drugs to natural plants. Thus, this study investigated the effect of methanolic extract of Telfairia occidentalis on (Pb) lead-induced testicular damage in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Twenty-four (24) Sprague dawley (SD) rats with average weight of 130g were randomly divided into four groups of six anima

Abstract:

Telfairia occidentalis is a medicinal plant known to exhibit a wide range of biological activities because of the presence of phytochemicals like tannins, saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids and cardiac glycosides. In this research work, the phytochemical screening and the antioxidant activities of Telfairia occidentalis leaves were evaluated. Also, this research work was designed to evaluate the effect of Telfairia occidentalis on reproductive hormones and sexual behaviour in male Albino Wistar rats using standard analytical methods.

Abstract:

Purpose: Historically, plants have been used to cure parasite illnesses, such as infections caused by Trypanosoma brucei. Using in vivo techniques, this study evaluated the antitrypanosomal properties of methanolic extracts of Telfairia occidentalis (Family Cucurbitaceae). Method: Mice were infected with 0.1 ml of blood containing roughly 1 × 10³ trypanosomes for the in vivo study. Blood samples were drawn, smeared, stained with 10% Giemsa dye, and seen under a microscope over the course of seven days. Extracts were added, incubated for 10 to 15 minutes, and then observed at concentrations of

AbstractGas flaring is a key contributor of greenhouse gases that causes global warming and climate change. Adaptation measures for tackling impacts of climate change have gained much research interest. This chapter assessed vegetable farmers’ perception of gas flaring and the effect of biochar remediation on the heavy metal composition of cultivated Telfairia occidentalis. A gas-flared area, Ohaji/Egbema L.G.A of Imo State, and a non-gas-flared area, Umudike, Ikwuano L.G.A, were selected for this research.
