...oluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) are chemicals derived from fossil fuels that easily get into the aquatic environment. These chemicals were investigated in the fish parasite Tenuisentis niloticus, as a reflection of the extent to which these compounds are present in the lagoon. One hundred (100) samples of Heterotis niloticus were investigated for parasitic infection for a duration of six months, while the parasites encountered were used as...

...erent techniques such as xylene induced ear edema model, Carrageenan induced paw edema model, Hot plate pain model, Ethanoic acid-induced pain model, Yeast instigated pyrexia model acute toxicity model was used to investigate Dosiflavone. Dosiflavone showed significant (p<0.05) reduction of the ear edema at a high dose. However, at 20 mg/kg for 60 minutes, the impact was less important. In vivo anti-inflammatory testing revealed that Dosiflavone significant...

...as chloroform (58 %) and xylene (63%). Auto-aggregation response of E. auranticum EPF1 was highest at fifth hour of culture incubation. Qualitative analysis of exopolysaccharides (EPS) in congo red supplemented Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) agar medium showed positive results and EPS contents showed higher carbohydrate content as compared to Protein contents. It was found that the microbes associated with earthworm (L. terrestris) have significant potential of ad...

Seventy rats were divided into seven equal groups and treated by gavage for 30 days as follows: Control group (C), group (CO), positive control group (RE) was received 350 mg / Kg bw of Eruca sativa aqueous extract (ESAE), 2 toxic groups X1 and X2 were treated with xylene at two doses 400 and 800 mg / Kg bw and 2 combination groups REX1 and REX2 were treated with ESAE (350 mg/kg bw) combined ...
