Item Phytochkmical profiling antioxidant activities and essential oil, constituents of Androgkaphis Paniculata(Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ibadan, 2018) Adeoye, B. Q.; Akinrinde, A. S.; Oyagbemi, A. A.; Omobowale, T. O.; Afolayan, A. J.; Adedapo, A. A.Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of various diseases which lead to urgent- need to investigate new, safe and effective source of antioxidant agents. This research proposed to investigate in-vitro and phytochemical constituent of the plant Ancirographis paniculatei using phytochemical analysis, GC/MS, DPPH, ABTS, FRAP and NO. Phytochemica! analysis of Anclrographis paniculata revealed the presence of tannins, total fiavonoids, total phenol, total flavonols, and total proanthocyanidins. GC/MS analysis of essential oil of AP identified one major compound name benzencpropanoic acid clucked at 3.296 retention time and 0,74 area percentage. The ferric reducing potential of the extracts was concentration dependent and significantly different from that of rutin and vitamin E. The% inhibition ofABTS by the ethanol leaf extract o?A nclrographis paniculata was concentration dependent and compared favourably well with the rutin and vitamin E, in DPPH scavenging assays, the ICy50 value of the ethanol leaf extract of Andrographis paniculata was < 0.025 mg/ml, while IC50 of rutin and Vitamin E were < 0.025 mg/ml and 0.68mg/ml. Nitric oxide ICS, for extract is 1,05mg/ml, Vitamin E is 1.2 mg/ml, and rutin is < 0.025 mg/ml. The present study showed high level of radical scavenging activity by ethanol leaf .extract of Andrographis paniculata with higher antioxidant activities than Vitamin E but less than that of rutin. This show that Andrographis paniculata has antioxidant properties and the plant could be used in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress.Item Phytochemical composition and antioxidant activities of dianthus Thunbergii hooper and Hypoxis argentea harv ex baker: plants used for the management of diabetes mellitus in eastern cape, South Africa(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2018) Akinrinde, A. S.; Afolayan, A. J.; Bradley, G.Background: Inhabitants of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa use the roots of Dianthus thunbergii and corms of Hypoxis argentea to treat diabetes mellitus and other ailments. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activities of the aqueous and ethanol extracts of the roots and corms of two plants. Materials and Methods: Total phenolics, flavonoids, flavonols, proanthocyanidins, tannins, and alkaloids were determined by standard methods. The scavenging activities of the extracts against 1,1 diphenyl‑2‑picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2’‑azino‑bis (3‑ethylbenthiazoline‑6‑sulfonic acid (ABTS), nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and their ferric‑reducing antioxidant potentials (FRAPs) were measured. Results: The ethanol extract of H. argentea had the highest content of phenolics (66.71 } 2.71 mg gallic acid equivalent/g) and tannins (1.18 } 0.07 mg TAE/g), while the ethanol extract of D. thunbergii gave higher contents of flavonoids and proanthocyanidins (62.21 } 1.75 mg Qe/g and 432.62 } 2.43 mg Ca/g, respectively). Flavonols were the most predominant in the aqueous extract of H. argentea (25.51 } 1.92 mg Qe/g). We observed a concentration‑dependent response in the ABTS‑ and H2O2‑scavenging activities and FRAP values of the extracts and standards (Vitamin C, butylated hydroxytoluene, and rutin). The ethanol extracts of both plants generally demonstrated better antioxidant activities against H2O2, NO, and ABTS while also possessing better reducing power than the aqueous extracts. The aqueous extract of D. thunbergii, however, showed the best DPPH scavenging activity. Conclusion: The higher content of phytochemicals and antioxidant capacity obtained for the ethanol extracts of D. thunbergii and H. argentea may prove to be valuable information in selecting suitable extraction solvents for the medicinal applications of both plants.Item Nutritional potentials and reproductive effects of Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum) peels on male Wistar rats(Nigerian Society for Animal Production, 2021) Akinsulie, O. C.; Akinrinde, A. S.; Soetan, K. O.Increasing demand and high cost of conventional animal feed and ingredients have stimulated the search for sustainable alternatives in substances otherwise considered as agricultural or industrial wastes. The present study evaluated the nutritional properties of Irish Potato agro-wastes (peel) (IPP) as an alternative source of feed nutrients, via its effects on haematological, biochemical, antioxidant and reproductive indices using Wistar rats as experimental animal model. Twenty male Wistar rats (100-120 g) were randomly allocated to two dietary treatment groups A and B, with 10 rats in each group. Group A (control) were fed a commercial rat concentrate while Group B rats were fed processed Irish potato peel diet for 2 weeks. The proximate analysis of the diets revealed lower levels of crude protein, energy, fat and ash in IPP, but higher levels of crude fiber, dry matter, moisture and Nitrogen free extract, compared to the control diet. However, IPP recorded lower levels of major anti-nutritional factors (Trypsin Inhibitor, Cyanogenic glycosides, Phytates, Oxalates) compared to the commercial diet. Although IPP led to a significant reduction in the body weights of the rats, there were no changes recorded in most haematological (PCV, Hb, RBC, Platelet count, MCV, MCH and MCHC) and serum chemistry (ALT, AST, ALP) parameters between IPP-fed and control rats. There were observable increases in the activities of antioxidant enzymes (Superoxide dismutase and Glutathione peroxidase) and some markers of oxidative stress (Hydrogen peroxide and Malondialdehyde), as part of a possible adaptive response to IPP. Furthermore, histopathological examination of the liver, kidney and testes did not present any major lesions in both groups of rats, although significant enhancement of sperm motility, livability and sperm count was observed in the IPP-fed rats compared to the control group. This study demonstrates that Irish potato peels possess promising nutritional potentials that should encourage its utilization as an alternative source of animal feed ingredients.Item Effect of exposure and withdrawal on lead-induced toxicity and oxidative stress in cardiac tissues of rats(Informatics Publishing Limited, 2016) Omobowale, T. O.; Oyagbemi, A. A.; Akinrinde, A. S.; Ola-Davies, O. E.; Saba, A. B.; Olopade, J. O.; Adedapo, A. A.Lead poisoning continues to pose a serious health challenge and more significantly so in developing countries with ineffective waste disposal systems. Recent efforts at solving lead poisoning issues have seen entire towns being resettled from lead-contaminated areas. This study was designed to investigate whether withdrawal of lead exposure results in a resolution of toxic effects of lead in cardiac tissues. Adult male Wistar rats were exposed orally to lead acetate (PbA) at doses of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/ml for 6-week duration, after which one-half was sacrificed and the remaining left for a further 6 weeks without lead treatment. Exposure of rats to PbA produced significant decline (P < 0.05) in the activities of antioxidant parameters, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), catalase (CAT), and reduced glutathione (GSH), whereas malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was significantly elevated. Animals from the withdrawal period exhibited a similar pattern of alterations, with a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in GSH, GPx, and SOD and a significant elevation in MDA and H2O2 concentrations. However, GST activity was elevated, whereas CAT activity remained unaltered in the withdrawal period. The results of this study showed that cardiotoxicity indicated by induction of oxidative stress and reduction in antioxidant parameters failed to resolve upon withdrawal of lead exposure in male rats during the period of study.Item Effect of exposure and withdrawal on lead-induced toxicity and oxidative stress in cardiac tissues of rats(Informatics Publishing Limited, 2016) Omobowale, T.
