Follicular fluid (FF) is an avascular compartment within the mammalian ovary separated from the perifollicular stroma by the follicular wall that constitutes a blood-follicle barrier. FF plays a major role in the autocrine and paracrine regulation and also in the physiological, b...
The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in nutrient recycling can result in the improvement of plant growth and yield in nutrient depleted soil. Two years field experiment (2008 and 2009) was conducted at Ekpoma, Nigeria to investigate the effects of mycorrhizal inoculum on maiz...
Aim: To produce daddawa analogue (a fermented condiment) from Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) seeds which should have safe levels of anti-nutrients comparable to daddawa from locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) seeds. Design of the Study: Lima bean and locust bean seeds were separately...
Vitamin B12 deficiency is an uncommon cause of fever. Here we describe a case of a 16-year-old male who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin from one and half month subsequently on investigation patient diagnosed to nutritional megaloblastic anemia secondary to severe vitamin...
Aim: This study was designed to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among apparently healthy undergraduate students in Uyo, South-South, Nigeria. Methodology: Microscopic examination, bacteriological analysis and antibiotic susceptibility profile of the bacterial...

The continuous increase in the scientific breakthroughs which has existed for some decades, has greatly contributed to the ease of human existence in all ramification. However, these sucesses are not without their short-comings. One of the major challenges faced, is the uncontrol...
Aims: The study was designed to explore the floristic composition and vegetation classification. Place and Duration of Study: A survey of natural vegetation of Tehsil Takht-e-Nasrati, District Karak was undertaken in summer 2010-2011. The study was conducted within four distinct...
An interest in natural products from plants has been increased due to the disruption of natural biological control systems, undesirable effects on non-target organisms, environmental hazards, and the development of resistance to synthetic insecticides, which are applied in order...
Aim: Many of the studies that have been carried out to investigate the toxicity of kerosene have been large-dose, acute-setting experiments. Although the hepatic and renal damage as a result of kerosene exposure has been demonstrated in an earlier study in female Wistar rats, gen...
Aims: The aim is to study the effects of seed priming on germination and yield of Fennel in laboratory experiments and pot studies. Study Design: The method used is CRD (Completely Randomized Design) with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: Experiments were carried o...
The present study investigated the effects of soil watering regimes on the intrinsic qualities of bioremediation of a waste engine oil-polluted soil. Five (5) kg of sun-dried top-soil was each placed into large perforated bowls and mixed thoroughly with waste engine oil (WEO) to...
