A comprehensive review of assay methods to determine drugs in breast milk and the safety of breastfeeding when taking drugs

Plant derived bioactive constituent has lead credence to usage of medicinal plants namely spices in postnatal recovery in most cultures especially in South Eastern Nigeria. Postpartum is a critical phase leading to recovery for the nursing mother and improved health condition for the new born. Most of these medicinal plants play important role and are used as diet therapy after childbirth to induce contraction of the uterus, energy induction and improve production of breast milk. A systematic and comprehensive review of these medicinal plants for holistic utilization is pertinent. Therefore, this review validates and highlights the health benefits of medicinal plants used during postpartum period in South Eastern Nigeria.

The Right

Proteases break peptide bonds. It is often necessary to measure and/or compare the activity of alkaline proteases using different procedures in the lab. Many studies with keen interest on alkaline proteases mostly use quantitative and/or qualitative assay methods to assay the enzyme activity of proteases. There is need to select a suitable assay method from the reported ones which will be ideal for any proposed study. There could be challenges when choosing the right assay method from the existing ones, thereby prompting the need for a review of the various methods for the quantitative assay of alkaline protease, the quantitative methods and protocols used from 1938 until now and their industrial applications were chronologically reviewed.
