Aim: To evaluate the effect and identify the bioactive constituents of Carica papaya seed with potency against potassium bromate –induced nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress in renal tissue of rat. Study Design: For each state of polarity, twenty male Wistar rats were divided int...
Aim: To investigate the effect of five extraction solvents of varying polarity, namely aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane on phytochemicals yield and composition of Carica papaya seed. The acute toxicity test of each solvent fraction was also carried out an...
Aim: To investigate the effect of Carica papaya seed extract on KBrO3 - induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Renal toxicity was induced by a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg body weight of KBrO3. Study Design: Thirty (30) male albino rats were divided into six groups, five rats per group...
