THE EFFECT OF Telfairia occidentalis AND SELENIUM AS L-SELENOMETHIONINE ON PARACETAMOL-INDUCED HEPATOTOXIC ALBINO MALE RATS

*Omotosho O. E., Iweala E. E. J., Onuorah J. I., Rotimi S. O and Inwang T.
The effects of Telfairia occidentalis supplemented diet and Selenium, were studied on some biochemical, haemotological and histological indices on paracetamol-induced hepatotoxic male albino rats. Two diets named control and test feeds were prepared, with the test feed containing Telfairia occidentalis. The animals were divided into seven groups; three groups (1, 2 and 6) received control diet...

ANTIMICROBIAL AND PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF SEEDS AND LEAVES OF PENTACLETHRA MACROPHYLLA

*Omotosho O. E., Okereafor C., Ishola R.O., Kehinde A. and Olusoga O.,
The antimicrobial efficacy of ethanol and chloroform extracts of leaves and seeds of Pentaclethra macrophylla against Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella paratyphi, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysentriae, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphyllococcus aereus was carried out using the well diffusion assay method. The zones of inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal con...

Impact of Types of Coagulants on the Nutritive Value, Functional Properties and In vitro Multienzyme Protein Digestibility of Cheese

*Omotosho, Omolola Elizabeth, Oboh, Ganiyu and Iweala, Emeka E. J.
Cheese is a highly regarded food in most human cultures including Nigeria. Cheese is locally produced in Nigeria with cow milk using the crude coagulants obtained from juice of Calotropis procera (bomubomu), Calcium chloride, Alum and steep waste water from pap production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect these coagulants on the proximate, mineral, energy, antinutrient com...

Partial Purification and Characterization of Cellulase from the haemolymph of the African Giant Land Snail (Archachatina marginata)

*Omotosho O. E. and Ekperigin M. M.
The plant cell wall hydrolyzing enzyme, cellulase, was extracted from the snail haemolymph of the African giant land snail of the species, Archachatina marginata. Its protein concentration was found to be 168mg/ml and the specific activity of the crude cellulase was found to be 0.007units/mg protein using Carboxymethyl- cellulose (CMC) as the substrate. The purification on Sephadex G-200 pro...

Nutritional, In vitro multienzyme digestibility, Hypocholesterolemic effect and High Total Phenolic Content of Tofu (Coagulated Soymilk) with steep water

*Omotosho O. E. and Oboh G.
Tofu is made by coagulation of soymilk with salt or acid to produce a soy protein gel, which traps water, soy lipids and other constituents in the matrix. This study sought to assess the effect of steep water considered as waste used commonly in Nigeria for coagulating soymilk, on the nutritive in vitro multienzyme protein digestibility, total phenol content, serum cholesterol, high-density...

Biochemical Studies On The Nutritional Effects Of Food On Rats

OMOTOSHO E. Omolola
soybean products have nutritional and medicinal attributes. Soymilk is usually made at the household level using various types of coagulants. Feeding albino rats exclusively with tofu and water ad libitum for 14 days caused an improvement in all the indicators of liver, kidney and heart function when compared with the control. It is noteworthy that the mineral and proximate compositions of tofu...

Employment and Growth Nexus in Nigeria

Sodipe, Oluyomi A & Ogunrinola, I. O
This paper examines the employment and economic growth relationships in the Nigerian economy. A simple model of employment was formulated and estimated using the Ordinary Least Squares technique before and after the time series data used for the study were corrected for non-stationarity using Hodrick-Prescott filter. The result of our econometric analysis shows that a positive and statistically...

PUBLIC – PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND HOUSING DELIVERY IN NIGERIA.

Dr Adedeji Daramola, Oluwole Alagbe, Bridgette Aduwo, and Samuel Ogbiye
Housing delivery is one of the major problems confronting the underdeveloped world. Several housing policies are put in place but the housing can not be delivered. Not only is the population growth rate outweighs the rate of housing provision, the actual housing delivery processes are more often than not over-ambitious to the extent of not being sustainable. This problem has remained absolutely...
