Short-term acute constipation and not short-term acute diarrhea altered cardiovascular variables in male Wistar rats.

Gastrointestinal dysmotility is a substantial public health challenge globally. Based on previous findings in developed countries, it has been observed that there is an association between diarrhea, constipation, and some cardiovascular variables. This study investigated the effects of experimentally-induced short-term acute constipation and short-term acute diarrhea on certain cardiovascular variables in rats.

Dose-dependent changes in Haematological and Serum Biochemical Variables in Rats Exposed to Sodium Metavandate in Male Wistar Rats.

The interest in the role of vanadium compounds in living organisms has grown tremendously especially since the report of its glycemic normalization activity in the 1980s. There has been reports of both its toxic as well as positive effects, thus there is a paucity of information on the essentiality of this element in biological systems. In this study, the effect of different doses of sodium metavanadate on the haematological and biochemical variables of male Wistar rats was investigated.

Exposure to Mosquito Coil Smoke Delays Healing of Acetic Acid Induced Gastric Ulcer in Male Wistar Rats.

Mosquito coil fumes (MCF) is used in several Nigerian homes and some part of the world with reported grave consequences to the respiratory tract majorly. There is paucity of information on its outcome on the gastrointestinal tract being a related organ to the respiratory tract. Forty five male Wistar rats (123.

Antiulcer and gastric antisecretory effects of Landolphia owariensis extracts in rats.

Water, methanol and chloroform extracts of Landolphia owarensis were investigated for their effects on gastric acid secretion and ulceration in male albino rats. Two models of gastric lesion induced in experimental Wistar rats-HC1/ethanol-induced gastric lesions and Pylorus ligation-induced gastric lesions-were employed. In both models, the antiulcer activity of LA was compared with that of cimetidine (100 mg kg p.
