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

Telfairia occidentalis, also known as fluted pumpkin, is a widely cultivated vegetable in West Africa with potential nutritional and health benefits. They serve to supplement the nutrients provided by cereals and tubers; however, there is lack of comprehensive compositional data regarding the mineral of fluted pumpkin seeds in Nigeria. This study aimed to determine the mineral, vitamin, and antioxidant properties of T. occidentalis seeds. The seeds were analyzed for their mineral content (calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, and sodium), vitamin content (vitamins A, C, and E), and antiox

Abstract:

Research was carried out to investigate the proximate analysis of Telfairia occidentalis (Fluted pumpkin) leaves sold in three different markets in Benin-City, Edo State Nigeria. Samples of each substrate were randomly purchased from three different sellers in each market. The proximate analysis was carried out using standard methods of food analysis. Experimental results revealed that across the markets, moisture content was the highest and ranged from 91.25±0.38 to 92.45±1.02%, crude fibre content ranged from 2.98±0.22 to 3.51±0.13%, carbohydrate content ranged from 2.65±0.05 to 3.29±0.15%,

Effect of wood ash (WA)-amended soil on some nutritional and non-nutritional constituents of Telfairia occidentalis (pumpkin) was evaluated. WA obtained from Dialiumguineense(velvet tamarind) tree was used to amend the soil samples. Pumpkin seeds were planted on the soils after allowing for soil mineralization. Results obtained after the pumpkin plants were harvested and processed for analysis showed that cyanogenic glycosides and tannins increased against the control. Moisture and crude fats reduced against the control while carbohydrate increased when compared to the control. Pumpkin grown o

Abstract:

Telfairia occidentalis is an important vegetable crop that is intensively grown in Southern Nigeria for its utilization in home dishes and commercialization. However, its production is being limited by vine rot infection caused by Athelia rolfsii. Information on the epidemiology in growing regions is important for the disease management. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the incidence and severity of vine rot disease of Telfairia occidentalis in commercial fields across Abak, Akwa Ibom State.
