Myrtenal improves memory deficits in mice exposed to radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation during gestational and neonatal development enhancing oxido-inflammatory, and neurotransmitter functions.

Objective: Radiofrequency-electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) exposure during gestational and neonatal development may interact with the foetus and neonate considered hypersensitive to RF-EMR, consequently resulting in developmental defects associated with neuropsychological and neurobehavioral disorders, including learning and memory impairment. This study assessed the potential of Myrtenal (Myrt) to improve memory deficits in C57BL/6 mice exposed to RF-EMR during gestational and neonatal development.

Method: Thirty-five male mice were randomly allocated into 5 cohorts, each comprising of 7 mice.

Myrtenal mitigates streptozotocin-induced spatial memory deficit via improving oxido inflammatory, cholinergic and neurotransmitter functions in mice.

The occurrence of chronic neurodegenerative disorders is on the rise, but with no effective treatment due to the paucity of information on the pathological mechanism underlying these disorders. Thus, this study investigated the role of oral administration of myrtenal in mitigating memory deficits and neuro-biochemical alterations in streptozotocin-demented mice model. Mice (n ​= ​35) were randomly allocated into five cohorts consisting of 7 mice each; Group I: Control mice received vehicle alone; Group II: streptozotocin; Group III: streptozotocin + 100 ​mg/kg myrtenal; Group IV: streptozotocin +200 ​mg/kg myrtenal; and Group V: streptozotocin ​+ ​donepezil 0.

In vitro anthelmintic activity of G. Baker (Annonaceae) Fruits against .

Helminthosis is one of the greatest causes of parasitic disease and loss in animal productivity. As such, the control of helminth parasites is of critical importance. This study was aimed to investigate the in vitro anthelmintic activity of G.

Anthelmintic activity of methanol extract of Dennettia tripetala G. Baker (Annonaceae) fruits against Haemonchus contortus in red Sokoto goats.

Haemonchosis is a gastrointestinal parasitic disease of economic importance in ruminants especially sheep and goats. In view of the rising costs of conventional veterinary anthelmintics and the development of resistance by Haemonchus contortus, there is a need to develop alternative ethnoveterinary therapies for the treatment and management of Haemonchosis. This study investigated the anthelmintic activity of Dennettia tripetala G.

In Vitro Anticoccidial Activities of the Extract and Fractions of Garcinia kola (Heckel h.) Against Eimeria tenella Oocyst.

Background: Commercial poultry farming is expanding every day and contributing to the provision of affordable and high-quality protein. However, this sector is confronted with many diseases of which coccidiosis is among the most important. There are many registered patents affirming the health benefits of Garcinia kola in poultry.

Detoxifying Action of Aqueous Extracts of Seed and Root Against Venoms of and .

Background: The World Health Organization included snakebite envenomation among Neglected Tropical Diseases in 2017. The importance of natural products from plants is enormous, given that most prescribed drugs originate from plants. Among this is Mucuna pruriens and Mimosa pudica, with many registered patents asserting their health benefits.
