Phytochemistry, Antioxidant, and Hepatoprotective Potential of Acanthospermum hispidum DC Extracts against Diethylnitrosamine-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’DO, Adama HILOU, Noufou OUEDRAOGO, Ernest Nogma SOMBIE and Tata Kadiatou TRAORE
Background: Burkina Faso is classified among the countries with a high prevalence (˃12%) of hepatitis. Hepatic diseases, such as cirrhosis—related to alcoholism—and hepatitis B and C, are the cause of the increase in cases of liver cancer. They promote the development of cancer by decreasing the natural cell death, causing problems with DNA re(...)

Sustainable approach to recover the hull waste of balanitesoegyptiaca for removal of fluoride from water
Marou GOUROUZA, Zeinabou MAHAMADOU, Mabinty BAYO-BANGOURA, Karifa BAYO, Anne BOOS
The presence of fluoride in water has become a major concern worldwide because of its chronic human
carcinogenic behavior. Developing easily accessible and environmentally friendly disposal strategies is therefore a
challenge for scientists. Heme-activated balaniteoegyptiaca shell carbon has been studied for its ability to adsorb
fluorine f(...)

Cowpea is a dual-purpose protein crop which has a high nutritional value. However, many problems such as cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus limit its production. This study aimed at assessing the resistance of varieties of cowpea to cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV). Thus, a complete diallel cross between five cowpea varieties was done in a(...)

Anti-quorum quenching activity of methyl gallate isolated from galls of Guiera senegalensis J. F. Gmel (Combretaceae)
Vincent Ouedraogo, Pierre Alexandre Eric Djifaby Sombié, Moussa Compaoré and Martin Kiendrébéogo1
La lutte contre l’antibiorésistance est une priorité pour la santé humaine. De nombreuses bactéries pathogènes résistants aux antibiotiques produisent des facteurs de virulence contrôlés par un mécanisme de régulation appelé Quorum Sensing (QS). L'inhibition du système QS bactérien est une approche thérapeutique plus récente pour contrecarrer(...)

The role of backyard farms in two West African urban landscapes
Imogen Bellwood-Howard a, Martina Shakya b, Gabin Korbeogo c, Johannes Schlesinger d
Urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) is a well-researched landscape component, but there is a need to extend the quantitative database on West Africa as well as to explain how UPA contributes to food systems differently across locations. We therefore performed a quantitative survey of Tamale, Ghana, and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, using a spa(...)

Ordering urban agriculture: farmers, experts, the state and the collective management of resources in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso
Gabin Korbéogo
This article explores the way land tenure, water flows, and water quality are legally, politically and socially framed in a site in Ouagadougou. It shows that urban agriculture is an important source of revenue for various individuals and groups, and a socio-political arena for state representatives, experts and farmers. The main stakes in the(...)

GHASP: an Hα kinematical survey of spiral galaxies - XI. Distribution of luminous and dark matter in spiral and irregular nearby galaxies using WISE photometry
M. Korsaga, C. Carignan, P. Amram, B. Epinat and T.H. Jarrett
We present the mass distribution of a sample of 121 nearby galaxies with high-quality optical velocity fields and available infrared Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer(WISE) 3.4 μm data. Contrary to previous studies, this sample covers all morphological types and is not biased towards late-type galaxies. These galaxies are part of the Fabry-P(...)
