Heavy metals distribution and lipid profile in the stomach of cow grazed in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria

Essential oils were obtained by hydro distillation of dried leaves from two kinds of Plectranthus tenuicaulis (Hook f.) J. k. Morton grown in Gabon and were analyzed using GC-FID, GC-MS, 1H and 13C NMR. The main constituent was (R), (E)-6,7-epoxyocimene [(E)-myroxide] (72.2 to 83.8%) with small amounts of (Z)-6,7-epoxyocimene (0.6 to 1.3%), (E) and (Z)-β-ocimene (1.1 to...

Heavy metals distribution and lipid profile in the stomach of cow grazed in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria

The distribution of heavy metals: manganese, chromium, cadmium, copper, arsenate, iron and lead together with lipid profiles were investigated in the stomach of cow grazed in Akungba-Akoko region of Ondo State, Nigeria. This sample was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric method (AAS) with wet digestion method. The results showed that the heavy metals concentrations in the stomach of the cows are: Mn...
