This study assess how well diclofenac (DCF) can be separated from aqueous solution using potassium permanganate-modified eggshell biosorbent (MEB). The MEB produced was characterised using XRD, FTIR, and SEM. Batch experiments were conducted to examine and assess the impact of contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial concentration, and temperature on the adsorption capacity of the MEB in the DCF sequestration.

The vasoactive peptide bradykinin (BK) is an important member of the renin-angiotensin system. Its discovery is tightly interwoven with snake venom research, because it was first detected in plasma following the addition of viper venom. While the fact that venoms liberate BK from a serum globulin fraction is well described, its destruction by the venom has largely gone unnoticed.

Naja nigricollis Venom (NnV) contains complex toxins that affects various vital systems functions after envenoming. The venom toxins have been reported to induce male reproductive disorders in envenomed rats. This present study explored the ameliorative potential of kaempferol on NnV-induced male reproductive toxicity.
