Besides genetic factors, diet components may contribute to the development of obesity, and it is known that cafeteria diet is characterized by a high caloric intake. Thus, the present study evaluated the mutagenic effects that cafeteria diet exerted on Wistar rats and its consequences on female offspring. Twelve females (generation 1) were separated in control group (CTL) and Cafeteria Diet group (CAF). At 70 days of age, females were mated with non-obese control males.

To achieve the highest literacy as well as success in primary education government has taken several drives to enroll students in primary and upper primary schools from the time of independence.

Cereals, staple food of many peoples, are heavily attacked by insects. It is for this purpose that this study was carried out to make the inventory of insects associated with the grain stocks in Abidjan. Samples of grains (maize, rice, millet) were therefore taken during the market investigation of three municipalities in Abidjan. Thus, two samples of each cereal were taken from each market. These samples were placed in cartons to monitor insect development until adulthood to facilitate their identification.

Development of Metabolic syndrome MS in Menopause occur due to hormonal changes, but age has added influence .The object of the study is to find out association between MS and Menopause. 164 women above 35 years of age to65 years were included in the study to assess the prevalence of MS using National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III Three or more criteria. In the study 46% belong to premenopausal women and 64% postmenopausal women.

Most important to know the early risk factors for Alzheimer's disease as the neurodegenerative progressions of the disease may begin in midlife. Early detection of these risk factors may hut some light on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and a plausible paths for its prevention and treatment. It is speculated from the preliminary findings that it is an association between vascular risk factors and Alzheimer's disease need to be invented in self-regulating populations.

Background:- Sports drinks are becoming increasingly popular as well as being encouraged with regular exercise. pH of these drinks are less than normal pH and found to be acidic. These acidic beverages are thought to increase potential for dental erosion. Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate CPP-ACP complex helps to release Calcium, Phosphate ions to form apatite crystals. In acidic conditions, these calcium, phosphate ions are released from crystal complex and facilitate to reduce the extent of demineralization. This concept forms the basis for the study.

Pollen morphology of 7 species belonging to 5 genera of the tribes Euclideae, Hesperideae, Mathioleae, Arabideae and Lepidieae from Brassicaceae family were investigated using light and scanning electron microscope. The study showed that the pollen grains are a stenopalynous have tricolporate to tetracolporate in Anchonium elichrysifolium. The ornamentation is reticulate and the shape is spheroidal in equatorial view and oblate to spheroidal in polar view. The study reported also little differences in quantitative characters between all species studied.
