The present study examines the antioxidant potentials of Cooked Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean) based diet in pretreated alloxan induced diabetic rats. Thirty (30) male albino rats (Rattus novergicus) were ramdomly divided into three experimental groups (A, B, C) i.e 10 rats in each group. GroupA received standard formulated diet, GroupB were fed with 50:50 ratio of corn starch and cooked Bambara nut based diet, GroupC received whole cooked Bambara nut based diet for four weeks. After four weeks of feeding, the three groups were sub-divided into subgroups A 1 , A 2 , B 1 , B 2 and C 1 , C 2 .Subgroups A 2 , B 2 and C 2 were induced with 150mg/kg body weight of alloxan by a single intraperitonial injection. Each Subgroups were maintained on their respective diet for two weeks, after which the blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture, heart was removed and assayed for Malondialdehyde (MDA), Reduced glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant enzyme activities (Catalase, Superoxide dismutase). Significant (p < 0.05) elevation in MDA, and a reduction in antioxidant activities were observed in plasma and heart of groupA 2 compared with groupA 1 . A significant decrease in plasma and heart MDA level was observed in groupC 2 compared with groupC 1 .Plasma and heart antioxidant activities of groupC 2 significantly increased (P ≤ 0.05) when compared with groupC 1 . There was no significant difference in plasma and heart MDA level and antioxidant activities in groupB 2 compared with groupB 1 . In conclusion, Cooked Bambara groundnut exhibits its antioxidant potentials by alleviating oxidative stress.However, it appears that increased concentration of cooked Bambara groundnut in the diet

With the popularity of smartphones and upsurge of mobile applications, mobile devices have become prevalent computing platform. Although MCLOUD paradigm solves the problem of limited resources constraint of mobile system and unavailability of internet, through several offloading technique. Nevertheless, mobile users are still reluctant to adopt this paradigm, due to security concerns of their data. This research provided security on the users task and still minimize the total computational time of the MCLOUD. Tasks were programmatically broken down into smaller tasks and encrypted using homomorphic encryption system and assigned to slave devices which were admitted into the MCLOUD during the resort point process through the WIFI Direct wireless network. Using a test bed of three (3) smartphone devices, several task sizes ranging from 2KB, 4KB up to 20KB were used to test the implemented security framework and the time taken to complete computation of each task size is recorded for both MCLOUD and standalone architecture, the total execution time was compared and findings shows that computation involving security on MCLOUD takes less time compared to computation on standalone devices, the following readings were recorded. For the 4KB task size, MCLOUD spent 48500microseconds while standalone spent 241000microseconds; for the 6KB task size, MCLOUD spent 99500microseconds while standalone spent 453000microseconds; whereas in the 8KB task size, MCLOUD spent 109500microseconds while standalone spent 553000microseconds,which is approximately five (5) times faster than standalone execution. MCLOUD framework was observed to have a lower computation time, decreasing computational time ratio, higher throughput per seconds, It was discovered that computation on distributed encrypted data (MCLOUD) using homomorphic encryption is safer and faster than standalone single device computation.
