Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnti-Inflammatory Properties of Crude Extracts and Anti-Cancer Properties of Acetone Extract of Moringa Oleifera Lam. Flowers on Cell Line ModelsSandisiwe Maposa, Gloria Aderonke Otunola, Anthony Jide AfolayanIn recent times, Moringa oleifera has earned great interest for its various physiological and therapeutic benefits. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera flowers were investigated for anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential. Anti-inflammatory capacity was evaluated using the inhibition of nitric oxide production (LPS-induced) on RAW 264.7, and cell viability was appraised with the MTT assay. The potential of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2026 · 1,464 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesModeling and Simulation of the Impact of Temperature on Single Point Load Cell using Trnsys 16.0: Measured, Uncompensated and Error Data for Zaria Kaduna StateAlbright A. Edet, Afolayan M. O., Umar A. UmarA load cell is a piece of machined metal called a transducer or load sensor. As a measuring device, the entire framework is prone to the impact of environmental forces which can produce errors in the load cell output. The most significant force or input modifier is high ambient temperature. Typical meteorological year document demonstrates that in March, April, and … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 7 Jun 2022 · 5,727 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesChemical Composition, Antibacterial and in vitro Anti-Inflammatory Potentials of Essential Oils from Different Plant Parts of Moringa oleifera LamGloria Aderonke Otunola, Anthony Jide AfolayanThe chemical constituents, antibacterial, protection against protein denaturation and membrane stabilization activities of essential oils from flowers, leaves, seeds, bark and roots of M. oleifera were investigated. Of the eight bacterial strains tested, only the growths of four strains were inhibited by the essential oils. The oils from the flowers and seeds were the most active with MIC: 1.25 mg/mL … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 1 Oct 2018 · 10,333 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMutagenic Screening of Crude Oil Fractions Using Modified Ames Test and Allium cepa (Linn) AssayOlufunsho Awodele, Alade Akintonwa, Sunday O. Olayemi et al.Problem statement: Crude oil which may be broadly characterized as paraffinic or naphthenic is a complex mixture of alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. About 500,000 workers are employed in crude oil exploration and production worldwide. There have been reports of occupational exposure during drilling, pumping and transportation of crude oil, including maintenance of equipment used for these processes. Thus, skin … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,629 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessment of the Mutagenicity of Some Pharmaceutical EffluentsA. Akintonwa, O. Awodele, A. T. Olofinnade et al.Problem statement: The pharmaceutical industry is a major contributor to industrial wastes globally. Effluents from this industry are usually discharged into the environment and when not properly handled and disposed, they affect both human health and the environment. Approach: This study evaluated the mutagenic potentials of effluents from six pharmaceutical companies in the Lagos province of Nigeria using modified Ames … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,509 accessesView PDF Cite
