Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Cajanus cajan (L) Millsp (Fabaceae) seed decoction is used by traditional healers in Nigeria as nerve tonic, hence, could be beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), a progressive and debilitating neurodegenerative disease that imposes great burden on the healthcare system globally.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed at investigating the neuroprotective effect of ethanol seed extract of Cajanus cajan (CC) in the treatment of rotenone-induced motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms associated with PD.
Materials And Methods: To assess the protective action of CC on rotenone-induced motor- and non-motor symptoms of PD, mice were first pretreated with CC (50, 100 or 200 mg/kg, p.
Background: Antibiotics have been the bedrock of modern medical care, particularly bacterial infections. However, globally, antimicrobial resistance has become a well-recognized public health threat in recent years, and interventions to reduce its burden have been launched worldwide.
Objectives: The present study evaluated antibiotic utilization in both hospitalized patients and outpatients in a University Hospital in Nigeria.
Objectives: Ethno-botanical surveys uncovered the use of in the management of mental health abnormalities. Antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like activities of hydroethanol leaf extract of (HLDS) in mice and its possible mechanism of action were investigated in this study.
Methods: The hole-board test (HBT), open field test (OFT), elevated plus maze test (EPMT), and social interaction test (SIT) were used to investigate the anxiolytic-like activity while forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) were employed for the antidepressant effect.
