Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies on Lipids and Hepatorenal Circulating Indices in Guinea PigsAbaram Chesa Mankwe, Jonah Sydney Aprioku, Atuboyedia Wolfe ObianimeArtemisinin-based Combination Therapies (ACTs) are employed as first-line agents in malaria chemotherapy. In many malaria endemic areas, ACTs are frequently abused partly due to resistance, poor drug control and inadequate health facilities. This study investigated the effects of prolong administration of Artesunate-Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine (ATS-SP), Artesunate-Amodiaquine (ATS-Amod) and Artemether-Lumefantrine (ATM-Lum) on plasma levels of biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, ALP, urea and creatinine) … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2017 · 7,282 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Garcinia Atroviridis on Oxidative Stress and Atherosclerotic Changes in Experimental Guinea PigsAdel. A. Amran, Zaiton Zakaria, Faizah Othman, Paden MoratProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis. Garcinia atroviridis has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. Approach: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Garcinia atroviridis on the oxidative stress in guinea pigs fed with high cholesterol diet. Twenty-four male Guinea pigs were divided into four groups. Group I served as control while … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,035 accessesView PDFCite

Athletes, specially in power sports, abuse these drugs such as Sustanon in high doses to obtain a rapid and huge increasing in the muscles mass and to improve their performance during the sport competitions. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Different Doses of Irradiation on Oxidant and Antioxidant Systems in the Brain of Guinea PigsYildiz Guney, Ayse Bilgihan, Ayse Hicsonmez et al.The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of oxidative stress in the damaged brain tissue, irradiated with two different dose levels, a single dose of 8 and 15 Gy. In addition, the histological findings caused by ionizing radiation in the early period was investigated. The levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and selenium were estimated in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNodulation and Biomass Yield Response of Cowpea to Row Spacing and Phosphorus Fertilizer Application in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Lukman YussifPhosphorus fertilizer application and planting distance play a major role in the production of shoot, root and nodule dry biomass of cowpea. However, phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient in soils in Ghana. Selection of cowpea varieties that produce good biomass yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus response efficiency can be a low input approach in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 23 Jan 2018 · 8,231 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiallel Analysis and Evaluation of Parents and F1 Progenies of Maize (Zea mays L.) for Tolerance to Drought and Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth in the Guinea Savanna Agro-Ecological Zone of GhanaAlhassan Bawa, Isaac Kwahene Addai, Mashark Seidu Abdulai, Al-Hassan IssahakuField studies were conducted to evaluate 6 parents and 30 F1 hybrids of maize for tolerance to drought and Striga hermonthica in Nyankpala, Ghana during the 2014 and 2015 cropping seasons. These genotypes were evaluated for two years on single-row plots of three replicates, in a randomized complete block design. The control plants were planted in July each year which … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2017 · 8,084 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVegetative Propagation by Root Segments Cuttings of Sclerocarya Birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst: Effects of Substrate and Mycorrhizal Inocula on the Ability to Root CuttingsAbdoulaye Herbert, Tsobou Roger et al.Sclerocarya birrea (A. Rich.) Hochst is one of the woody plants of the soudano-Sahelian zones, with great socioeconomic importance. The local populations over-exploit this species for their daily socio-economic needs and this endangered its durability. The objective of this study was to contribute to the domestication of this species by the low-cost technique of Root Segments Cuttings (RSC). The substrates … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 23 Aug 2022 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
