Background: We have previously demonstrated the efficacy of lycopene against cardiovascular and neurological complications associated with obesity. However, its effect on anaemia and ionic disturbances associated with obesity remain unexplored; hence, this study. Procedures: Obesity was induced with a Western-style diet. Thereafter, rats were distr...

Background and Aims Obesity-related heart failure is exacerbated by excess saturated fats such as palmitate (PA). Lycopene (LYC) possesses anti-lipidemic, antioxidant, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study, therefore, evaluated the impact of LYC against PA-invoked cardiotoxicity. Methods and Results Thirty-six female rats were...

Objective: Given the unrelenting surge in the prevalence of obesity and the intensified efforts aimed at elucidating underlying mechanisms and proffering effective treatments, this study investigated the effects of lycopene on various anthropometrical indices of obesity. Methods: Thirty female Wistar rats were equally divided into two groups and fe...

Arsenicosis remains a global health concern due to devastating health effects. Clerodendrum volubile and vernonia amygdalina have tremendous bioactivities against oxidative stress-related diseases. The study, therefore, appraised the effects of flavonoids fractions from C. volubile and V. amygdalina (FCV and FVA respectively) against arsenic-induce...
