This research was to determine the histological effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on the cardiac muscle fibres of adult albino rats. Thirty (30) albino rats were divided into five (5) groups (A-E) of six rats each at random and administered orally with aqueous solution of MSG daily. Group A served as the control group and received normal saline. Group B served as the low dose group and received 4mg/kg body weight of MSG for 28 days. Group C served as the high dose group and received 8mg/kg body weight of MSG for 14days, while group D served as the high dose group and received 8mg/kg body weight of MSG for 28 days and group E served as the high dose group and received 8mg/kg body weight of MSG for 28 days and allowed for another 28 days post treatment to observe for reversibility, persistence or delayed occurrence of any toxicity. The aqueous solution of MSG was at the concentration of 80g/litre daily for the periods of fourteen (14) days and twenty-eight (28) days respectively. At the end of the experimental period, the animals were anaesthetized using chloroform, sacrificed and the heart was carefully removed and weighed before fixing in 10% formalin. The heart tissue was then processed for paraffin sectioning. Administration of MSG to rats showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the thickness of myocytes, width of extracellular spaces and muscle fibers discontinuity with severity increasing with doses and time of exposure.
The research work was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of the oil palm fibre for remediation of crude oil polluted environment of loamy soil.
A pilot study was conducted on three different soil type contaminated with crude oil using the application of bio-simulation to examine the effect of the stimulant on the rate of degradation of the crude oil by the indigenous microbes
