Abstract: The nutritional status of school-aged children in Abia State was investigated. A sample of 450 school children was included in the study. The analysis of the anthropometric data was carried out via the WHO Anthro-software. The anthropometric results revealed that 7.6%, 20.8%, 4.4% and 1.10 % were underweight, stunted, wasting and overweight respectively. The proximate composition results of the children's ready-to-eat food showed that fried plantain had the lowest moisture content of 40.1%, and pap/maize gruel (Akamu) had the highest value of 84.6......
Keywords: Malnutrition, underweight, wasting, stunting, obesity, school children, micronutrients

Abstract: Globally, diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disease marked by persistent hyperglycemia, causes a considerable amount of morbidity and mortality. To test treatment approaches and clarify illness causes, animal models are crucial.With its specific cytotoxicity targeting pancreatic β-cells through GLUT2-mediated uptake, streptozotocin (STZ), a glucosamine-nitrosourea combination, is frequently used to induce experimental diabetes in mice. STZ triggers DNA alkylation, oxidative stress, and β-cell death, leading to insulin insufficiency and hyperglycemia.Different diabetic.......
Keywords: Streptozotocine (STZ), diabetes mellitus, mice model, Type 2 diabetes, hyperglycemia, Pancreatic β-cells.

Abstract: Resumo: O projeto propõe explorar o potencial da planta Agave sisalana como uma fonte sustentável e economicamente viável de um açúcar benéfico à saúde, capaz de reduzir o tecido adiposo e manter a saúde bucal, com o desenvolvimento de processos eficientes de extração e purificação do arabitol e da inulina a partir do suco de sisal. Desse modo, há a promoção da sustentabilidade ambiental, o desenvolvimento econômico das regiões produtoras e a higidez do utilizador desse açúcar. A primeira etapa na fabricação do açúcar é a colheita do sisal que inicia-se com o corte e transporte das folhas da planta Agave sisalana. Após a colheita, as folhas são levadas para o desfibramento, onde...........
