ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT
Get PDFThis paper will address the issue of environmental pollution and waste management. Every aspect of our lives is intricately linked to the environment. Various factors, including human activities and natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, contribute to environmental pollution. Environmental pollution has been a persistent issue since the dawn of time, but in our modern era, it has become a grave concern that poses a significant threat to the existence of humanity. While conducting our scientific research, we encountered a significant issue: "What impact does waste management have on the environment?" Today, people all around the world are deeply concerned about the issue of environmental pollution. The consequences of this problem are felt in our daily lives, affecting the quality of the air we breathe, the food and water we consume, and our exposure to pollution and radiation. In addition, the impacts of environmental issues can be seen in the depletion of natural resources, the loss of plant and animal species, and the disruptions to global ecosystems and biochemical processes. Considering the research problem, it can be hypothesized that waste management significantly affects the environment

GENETIC DIVERSITY ASSESSMENT IN ENDANGERED MEDICINAL PLANTS USING MOLECULAR MARKERS
Get PDFEndangered medicinal plants are invaluable resources for healthcare, biodiversity, and the economy, yet they face increasing threats from habitat loss, overexploitation, and environmental changes. Preserving their genetic diversity is essential to maintain their adaptability, resilience, and potential for future use in medicine and research. Molecular markers have emerged as powerful tools to accurately assess genetic variation within and among populations of these plants, overcoming the limitations of traditional morphological methods. Techniques such as RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, and SSR provide detailed insights into the genetic structure, levels of polymorphism, and population differentiation. This paper reviews the current methodologies employed in genetic diversity studies of endangered medicinal plants using molecular markers, highlighting case studies where these tools have informed conservation strategies. Understanding the genetic makeup of endangered species enables targeted conservation efforts, including in situ and ex situ management, breeding programs, and restoration initiatives. The integration of molecular marker data into conservation biology thus supports sustainable utilization and long-term survival of these critical plant resources. Finally, we discuss challenges faced in molecular studies and future prospects with emerging genomic technologies to enhance conservation outcomes
Histological effects of leaf extract of Moringa oleifera on potassium bromate-induced hepatic toxicity
No full textMuch emphasis has been paid to the harmful effects of potassium bromate on humans. The current study aims to investigate the protective effects of leaf extract of Moringa oleifera against potassium bromate-induced hepatic toxicity. Thirty-five albino rats of almost equal weight and size were divided into seven groups of five rats each. Group A was treated as a control group and given normal water, while groups B, E & G were treated with potassium bromate (200 mg/kg body wt.) for 7, 15 & 30 days, and groups C, D & F were treated with potassium bromate + Moringa oleifera (200 mg/kg body wt. + 250 mg/kg body wt.) for 3, 7 & 15 days, respectively. All therapies were administered orally once a day for thirty days. The albino rats were sacrificed by decapitation, and the liver was dissected out, blotted of blood, rinsed in the phosphate buffer saline (pH 7.4), and immediately processed for histopathology. KBrO₃ administration caused distortion and damage to the liver tissue architecture. The improvement in liver damage caused by KBrO₃ in Moringa oleifera supplementation groups indicates that Moringa oleifera extract provided a reasonable level of integrity in the liver. Moringa oleifera, as an antioxidant, combats the free radical damaging mechanism of KBrO₃. Body weight, liver weight, and ratio have all fallen dramatically as a result of the harmful effect of potassium bromate but have nearly returned to normal after supplementation with Moringa oleifera extract
EFFECT OF VITAMIN A ON SKIN AND METAMORPHOSIS OF BUFO MELANOSTICTUS STAGE 23
Get PDFVitamin A has been found to affect differentiation of skin in the toad tadpoles and the effect is more severe on younger tadpoles as compared to the older ones. The tadpoles of stage 23 when treated with vitamin A, distinct effect was swelling of tadpoles particularly in the ventral region. Integument became transparent and the cellular organization of integument has disrupted severely and cells appear to be swollen mucoid type. Such condition is known as mucous metaplasia. Vitamin A treatment causes mucous mataplasia both in the dorsal and ventral region in this stage (stage 23) of tadpoles of Bufo melanostictus. Vitamin A induced mucous metaplasia is greater on the ventral region as compared to the dorsal region of the body. Vitamin A treatment has been found to inhibit differentiation of skin glands and metamorphosiis in tadpoles of stage 23. The characteristic swelling as a result of vitamin A treatment is in not found in the tadpoles of older stages

PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS ON HEPATO-BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF ALBINO RAT AFTER TREATMENT WITH DRUG CYPROTERONE ACETATE
Get PDFThe study investigates the hepatoprotective effects of Tribulus terrestris on albino rats subjected to cyproterone acetate, drug known for their hepatotoxicity. The experiment involved the administration of this drug to induce liver damage, followed by treatment with Tribulus terrestris extract. Hepato-biochemical parameters, including serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were monitored to assess liver function and damage. Results showed a significant elevation in ALT, AST and ALP levels in rats treated with cyproterone acetate, indicating liver damage. However, co-administration of Tribulus terrestris extract resulted in a marked reduction in these biochemical parameters, suggesting a protective effect on liver function. The study concludes that Tribulus terrestris exhibits substantial hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects, potentially mitigating the hepatotoxicity induced by cyproterone acetate. These findings suggest that Tribulus terrestris could be considered as a supplementary therapeutic agent to protect against drug-induced liver damage
