“…The phytochemicals present in plants have a high number of biological properties, which validate their benefits and effects on a lot of metabolic disorders [11,12]. Crinum glaucum (CG) belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, which possesses compounds with biological activities that can be developed into drugs [13][14][15][16]. Traditional medicine has used CG for several diseases such as cough, asthma, malaria, convulsions, and sexually transmitted diseases, among others [8,17,18].…”

Aims: Several parts of medicinal plants have been known to have many health benefits. One of those plants is the Crinum glaucum (CG) bulb. Therefore, this research was undertaken to investigate the therapeutic role of an aqueous extract of CG bulb (aeCGb) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced haematological and hepatic enzyme alterations in male and female rat models. Study Design and Methodology: Twenty-five male and twenty-five female rats were divided randomly into five groups (n = 5) each. Group 1 is the control group. Group 2 was administered with 1000 mg/kg body weight of aeCGb. Group 3 was exposed to 4 ml/kg body weight of LPS for 4 hours. Group 4 was administered LPS (4 hours) and 1000 mg/kg body weight of aeCGb. Group 5 was administered 1000 mg/kg body weight of aeCGb and LPS for 4 hours. The albumin, total protein, bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (hepatic enzyme) concentrations and haematological parameters were analysed spectrophotometrically. Results: The hallmark of LPS is its ability to decrease the concentration of hepatic enzymes and the levels of haematological parameters, as observed. The levels of albumin, total protein, and direct and total bilirubin were significantly (P≤ .05) increased in the aeCGb-treated groups. However, treatment with aeCGb reverses the damaging effect of LPS on hepatic enzyme concentration. Conclusion: The results suggest that aeCGb has a therapeutic role in the LPS-induced alterations by correcting the concentration of hepatic enzyme function as well as regulating the levels of haematological parameters.

“…Moreover, the dietary fibers supplied by these foods prevent gastrointestinal cancers and contribute to lowering the cholesterol level in the blood (cholesterolemia) (7). Consequently, reducing the high peril of cardiovascular diseases and the reduction of high risks of obesity (8,9). Meanwhile, the derived nutrients and biological compounds in fruits and vegetables depend on nature, size, geographical locations they were cultivated (10).…”

As a matter of fact, the Dietary Guidelines of the United States of America recommended the consumption of more fruits and vegetables to support the healthy condition of the body. Unfortunately, these food materials are being accumulated with pesticidal residues due to the continuous missmanagement and excessive application of the chemicals during pre and post-agricultural practices, which compels multiple analysis of pesticidal residues to know their concentration levels for the betterment of food security and safety. For that matter, multi-residues of Thiamethoxam, Propamocarb, Carbaryl, Metalaxyl, Baycarb, Thiobencarb, Diazinon, and Dursban pesticides were determined in the samples of lettuce, garlic, ginger, and bell-pepper using modified QuEChERS-dSPE Ionic Liquid-based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) method coupled with LC-MS/MS instrument and validated (European Union Guideline). Resultantly, the accuracy (87-127%) and precision (0-22%) were mostly within the acceptable range for the former (70-120%) and latter (≤20%). Meanwhile, the limit of detections (0.01-0.28 µg/kg) and limit of quantitations (0.03-0.93 µg/kg) were satisfactory. The concentration range (5-400 µg/kg) of calibration curves for the evaluated linearity were linear with coefficient of regressions greater than 0.99. The matrix effects for all the analyzed samples were very weak and less effective (≤ -86%). The range (1-25%) for the estimated measurement uncertainties were certifiable and acceptable (≤ 50%). Therefore, the sample preparation method prove effective as validated and useful for the multiple determination of pesticides residues in the analyzed vegetable samples, which are presumably safe for consumption against health issues.
