- The study examined the phytochemical composition of three plants, focusing on their radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory properties.
- Various solvent extracts were made, and compounds like steroids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins were identified, with the highest phenolic content found in the methanolic extract of one of the plants.
- The extract showed significant antilipoxygenase activity and varied effectiveness in scavenging radicals, suggesting a potential for further research into the plants' health benefits.
Article Synopsis
- - Ticks are significant disease vectors affecting livestock in Africa, hindering livestock production, especially in Burkina Faso's arid region where Rhipicephalus microplus was previously absent.
- - A study conducted from June 2017 to February 2018 sampled ticks from 30 cattle, identifying 1,076 ticks across four genera and seven species, with Amblyomma variegatum being the most prevalent.
- - The research found a decrease in A. variegatum and Hyalomma spp. compared to 1996 data and noted the first occurrences of R. microplus and R. decoloratus in the area, emphasizing the need for ongoing tick monitoring with stakeholder collaboration.
Background: The present study investigates the effect of an aqueous extract of (AEAL) on normotensive Wistar rats and its chronic antihypertensive effects in L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats by using a non-invasive tail-cuff model.
Methods: The effects of AEAL (50mg/kg) and NaCl 0.9% on blood pressure were investigated by daily oral administration in normotensive Wistar rats over four weeks.
