2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY | Pp. 22-27
Obesity and diabetes are two of the most prevalent chronic metabolic diseases worldwide, often co-occurring and contributing to significant healthcare burdens. Traditional approaches for managing these diseases are typically based on standardized treatment re...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY | Pp. 15-21
Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are reshaping how we understand, predict, and manage obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (T2D). The diabesity phenotype arises from heterogeneous interactions among genes, behaviors, environments, and health-care syste...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY | Pp. 1-7
Artemisinin and its derivatives, traditionally employed as antimalarial agents, had demonstrated pleiotropic biological activities including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic regulatory properties. Recent preclinical investigations suggested poten...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 116-122
Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum posed a critical threat to global malaria control, with delayed parasite clearance and treatment failures increasingly reported across endemic regions. This review evaluated the biochemical rationale and clinica...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 107-115
Artemisinin-based combination therapies represented the cornerstone of contemporary malaria treatment, yet emerging resistance in Plasmodium falciparum threatens global malaria control achievements. Artemisinin resistance manifested as delayed parasite cleara...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 27-33
Anaemia and oxidative stress are frequently comorbid in metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic kidney disease. The two processes are bi-directionally linked: oxidative stress perturbs iron handling, eryt...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 7-12
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is characterized by persistent immune activation, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress, which collectively accelerate CD4+ T-cell depletion and contribute to progressive immune dysfunction. Oxidative stress,...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 83-87
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, which contributes to systemic complications including cardiovascular, renal, and reproductive dysfunction. Reproductive impairments in both males and females are...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 34-39
Diabetes mellitus, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is increasingly recognized as a state of chronic immunometabolic dysfunction driven in large part by oxidative stress and impaired antioxidant responses. Hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, and adipo...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 102-106
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the treatment of diarrheal diseases represents a significant and escalating public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. The region is particularly vulnerable due to factors such as poor sanitation, inadequate diagnostic in...
