Abstract: Formulated chemical insecticides which are used for combating malaria vector have been linked to some ecological challenges including adverse human health impacts and severe environmental pollution. Potent plant-based extracts are environmentally friendly for controlling the malaria vector. Upon this, concentration-based effects of A. sativum, C. citratus A. indica and C. officinalis stem and leaves extracts were tested on adult mosquitoes. The results revealed significant differences (P<0.05) in vector mortality in terms of extract concentration and plant extract exposure. Linear regression techniques indicated that within the range of 5- 25mls of extracts exposure for 24hours,......

Abstract: This succession involves the fusion of an oocyte with a sperm, proceeding to generation of a single diploid cell, the zygote, from that a new entity organism originates. The explanation of the physicochemical and molecular mechanisms of fertilization has captivated relevant researchers for a number of years. This review covers this enthralling succession at physiological, biochemical and molecular level. Various molecules have been documented to play a pivotal role in each step of this appealing process concerning to the sperm magnetism from the oocyte, the sperm maturation, the sperm and oocyte combination and the two gamete pronuclei union tending to the development of zygote. The collection of data concomitant with significant hypotheses enclosed by this overview provides novel insights into awaring the causes of fertility issues consequent to fertilization related disorders using the platform projecting in-silico studies..

Abstract: Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common cause of infertility in women of reproductive age group. PCOS is associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Several adipokines are produced by tissues, such as adiponectin, α1 -acid glycoprotein and leptin. These adipokines regulate glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin action and play important roles in the pathogenesis of IR, obesity, T2DM and cardiovascular diseases. Aim: To investigate the connection of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein inflammatory biomarker with metabolic characteristics in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and normal cycling controls. Methods: A cross-sectional.......
Keywords: Alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, c-Reactive protein, inflammation, carbohydrate metabolism, polycystic ovary syndrome.
