Purpose: To assess the microbial quality as well effectiveness of seven brands toothpaste marketed in Abuja, Nigeria's capital city, for reducing oral bacterial flora. Methods: Seven were randomly purchased from open market Abuja. Two contained triclosan + sodium fluoride antibacterial, four only and one was herbal. Each products assessed duplicate safety based on growth nutrient agar broth. Also, eight volunteers enrolled who used a brand 12hourly three consecutive occasions source hygiene,...
Consumption of white rice (WR) has been shown to predispose individuals metabolic disorders. However, brown (BR), which is relatively richer in bioactive compounds, possesses anti-glycaemic and antioxidant effects. In this study, fifteen cultivars paddy that are predominantly consumed North West Nigeria were analysed for their nutritional composition, contents effects on outcomes a fruit fly model. Gene expression analyses conducted the whole fly, targeting dPEPCK, dIRS, dACC. The protein,...
Ingestion of fructose-rich diets has been associated with the increase in global prevalence obesity, dyslipidemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease across all age groups. Phytochemicals from plant Moringa oleifera Lam. reportedly therapeutically reduce correct hyperlipidemia decrease excess hepatic lipid accumulation adults. In light increasing diet-induced metabolic dysfunction children, this study was designed to investigate protective effects a methanolic leaf extract M. on...
Iron (Fe) accumulation and resultant oxidative stress play a significant role in the neuronal death observed Parkinson's disease (PD). Brown rice (BR) possesses antioxidant properties able to reduce cellular damage. Thus, we hypothesized that BR may ameliorate Fe-induced parkinsonism due stress.
Abstract This study assessed the impact of sweetened alcohol and naringin on cardiac function in Sprague‐Dawley rats. Male ( n = 40) female rats were allocated to control, (SOH), (NA), with (SOH + NA) groups. SOH NA received 10% 20% fructose gelatine; 50 mg/kg gelatine daily for 10 weeks. Echocardiography was performed assess left ventricular (LV) function. LV cardiomyocyte diameters collagen area fraction determined by H&E picrosirius‐red staining, respectively. In males, did not affect...
Metabolic syndrome is linked to the consumption of fructose-rich diets. Nutritional and pharmacological interventions perinatally can cause epigenetic changes that programme an individual predispose or protect them from development metabolic diseases later. Hibiscus sabdariffa (HS) reportedly has anti-obesity hypocholesterolaemic properties in adults. We investigated impact neonatal intake HS on programming metabolism by fructose. A total 85 4-day-old Sprague Dawley rats were divided...
There is an increased prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in adolescents. The suckling period developmentally plastic, affecting later health outcomes. We investigated whether neonatal administration curcumin would provide protection against the development NASH adolescence rats fed a high-fructose diet. From postnatal day (PN) 6 to PN 21, pups (N = 128) were allocated four groups and orally gavaged daily with either 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide solution (vehicle control), (500...
