Regulatory roles of eugenol in paraquat-altered SNCA/LZTS3/MAPT in the cerebellum of Wistar rats.

Background: The Microtubules-associated protein tau (MAPT), alpha-synuclein (SNCA), and leucine zipper tumor suppressor 3 (LZTS3) genes are implicated in neurodegeneration and tumor suppression, respectively. This study investigated the regulatory roles of eugenol on paraquat-altered genes.

Results: Forty male Wistar rats divided into five groups of eight rats were used.

Alleviating Effects of Clove Essential Oil Disolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (Dmso) Against Cadmium-Induced Testicular and Epididymal Damages in Male Wistar Rats.

Cloves possess antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, among other roles, they can play. This study investigated the effect of clove oil (CLO) on testicular and epididymal changes induced by cadmium chloride (CdCl). A total of 25 rats were randomly assigned to five groups of five rats.

Comparative Microscopic Assessments of the Effect of Aqueous and Ethanol Extracts of Phoenix dactylifera L. in a Rat Model of Mercury-Triggered Hippocampal Changes.

Mercury is an environmental neurotoxicant that triggers structural and physiological alterations in different brain parts. The hippocampus is associated with learning and memory, and injury to this brain part may lead to behavioural and cognitive changes. Phoenix dactylifera (date palm) has been demonstrated to possess a variety of medical benefits.

Dominance of the Leptoprosopic Face and Mesorrhine Nose Types: Does Stature and Facial Types Matter in Northern Nigerian Adults?

Introduction: World scientists are using facial morphometry as a reconstructive option in the treatment of patients and ethnic differentiations. Hence, the authors aimed to study the naso-facial dimensions of northern population in Nigeria.

Materials And Methods: About 500 subjects (Igede, n = 260 and Idoma, n = 240) were recruited from schools in the Benue-Plateau valley in 2014-2015 academic session.
