Abstract
Aspilia africana, (Pers) C.D. Adams; (Asteraceae), a semi perennial woody plant, commonly known as haemorrhage plant is widely distributed across tropical Africa and all parts of Nigeria. The plant is well known in folkloric medicine for its anti-haemorrhagic uses and for the t...
7. PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF CRATEVA ADANSONII STEM BARK.
ABSTRACT
78 This research investigated the phytochemical and anti-inflammatory properties of methanol extract of Crateva adansonii stem bark. Although several edible and non-edible plants parts are used in inflammatory treatment, many record has been found of the use of Crateva ad...
8. THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTIVITY OF Crateva adansonii DICHLOROMETHANE FRACTION.
ABSTRACT
Crateva adansonii is a medicinal herb commonly used in parts of Africa because of the side effects of Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), like heart diseases and kidney failure. Inflammation is a major public heart issue in the world but treatment is becoming complex...
9. STUDIES ON BIOGAS AND BIOLIQUID PRODUCTION BY FUNGAL DEGRADATION OF BANANA (MUSA SAPIENTUM) LEAVES
Abstract
Anaerobic biodegradation of banana leaves by cellulolytic fungus (yeast) was conducted at optimum operational conditions of concentration, temperature and pH for biogas and bioliquid production. Proximate analysis of both the fermented and unfermented substrates was carried out...
