ABSTRACT Fish farming is a major viable solution to the problem of protein inadequacy in Nigeria but the high cost of feed remains a major obstacle. This study evaluated the comparative effect of commercial feed and formulated diets on the growth and biochemical parameters of Heterobranchus bidorsalis (catfish) fingerlings. Proximate composition of fish wastes (FW), guinea corn (GC), groundnut cake (GNC) and bone meal (BM) were determined and used to ...

EFFECTS OF ETHANOL, METHANOL AND N-HEXANE LEAF AND FRUIT EXTRACTS OF KIGELIA AFRICANA ON SOME OXIDATIVE AND BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS IN ALLOXAN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATS   ABSTRACT Globally, the estimated incidence of diabetes and projection for the year 2030 as given by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) is 350 million. Kigelia africana is highly used for ethnomedicinal purposes although there is paucity of scientific information on its use. This work was therefore, ...

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF ALCOHOLICS   ABSTRACT This work was aimed at finding the effects of alcohol on some biochemical parameters. A total of one hundred and eighty (180) apparently healthy, non-hypertensive male alcoholics were used for the study. Forty (40) non-consumers of alcohol were used as control. The activity of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the control was 10.50±2.00 IU/L while it was 16.50±1.50 IU/L; 17.50±2.00 IU/L and ...
