Abstract: The effect of T. orientalis on the hematological parameters of cadmium induced toxicity in rats was investigated in order to ascertain the ameliorative potential of the extract on the toxic effect of cadmium on blood cells. One hundred and five male rats were randomly grouped into five (A, B, C, D and E) such that group A (control) was administered distilled water while 10 mg kg-1 body weight of cadmium was administered orally to group B. Rats in group C were given oral administration of the extract (100mg/kg body weight) while 10mg/kg body weight of cadmium was administered toboth D and E followed by orally administration of the plant extract at 100 mg kg-1body weight to D and 200 mg kg-1 body weight to group E. Some hematological parameters of the experimental animals were evaluated after 3, 5, 10, 15 and 21 daily doses. Cadmium significantly decrease (p < 0.05......
Key Words: Cadmium, T. orientalis, Toxicity, hematological parameters and Rats.

Abstract: Sixty day old chickens were randomly distributed into three treatments and fed diets mixed with 0, 0.5 and 1% papaya seed powder for the six weeks' starter period. Feed consumption and growth performance were monitored weekly. Lipid peroxidation was also assayed in the serum of the chicks from all treatments. At the end of the experiment, results showed that feed efficiency and growth performance of broilers were not significantly (p˃0.05) influenced by dietary treatments. The haematology parameters such as red blood cell, haemoglobin, were significantly (p˂0.05) influenced by dietary inclusion of papaya seed powder. There were no significant (p˃0.05) influence of papaya seed powder on serum biochemical parameters. Furthermore, lipid peroxidation decreased significantly (p˂0.05) in treatments with papaya seed powder when compared to the control. It may be concluded that feeding broiler chickens with diets mixed with papaya seed powder significantly and positively reduced serum lipid peroxidation profile without negatively affecting feed efficiency, growth performance and serum biochemical parameters.
Key Words: Phytobiotic, Pawpaw seed powder, broiler, antioxidant, lipid peroxidation.

Abstract: Background: Diabetes is emerging as a common disease in both developed and developing countries. Increasing prevalence of the disease sets the goal to aim for control of the disease process which is aimed mainly as therapy. Monitoring tool for the complications of this common disease is Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C). In the present retrospective study HbA1C level is correlated with both fasting and post meal plasma glucose level in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods:Data were collected from Computerized Hospital Information Processing System (CHIPS) department on the basis of HbA1c tests ordered during October, 2014. Data collected from the Computerized Hospital Information Processing.....
Key Words: Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1C), fasting plasma glucose, post prandial plasma glucose
