The purpose of this research is to determine the impacts of acetyl acetone on zinc uptake and oxidative stress in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings grown in hydroponic solutions. Thirty seedlings of cucumber were collected from Kura local government area Kano, Kano state. Concentrations of Zn2+ in the hydroponics were varied from 0.000 to 0.025 mol dm-3 and of acetyl acetone were also varied from 0.000 to 0.025 mol dm-3. The seedlings were replanted and kept at Department of Agriculture Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil garden. The weight of plants increased significantly (p<0.05) with concentration of Zn2+ in the absence of acetyl acetone and highly insignificantly (p>0.05) with concentration of acetyl acetone in the absence of Zn2+. In the presence of acetyl acetone and Zn2+ plant weight decreased highly insignificant (p>0.05). Leaf fall was observed from plants in all hydroponic, the number of falling leaves was insignificant (p>0.05) with concentration of Zn2+ but it is insignificant (p>0.05) with concentration of acetyl acetone and highly insignificant in the presence of acetyl acetone and Zn2+ (p>0.05). The volume of the solution decreased highly significant (p<0.05) with concentration of Zn2+ and significant with concentration of acetyl acetone (p<0.05) the volume also increased insignificantly in the presence of acetyl acetone and Zn2+ (p>0.05). The pH values of treated hydroponics before replanting and after harvest were insignificant with increased in the concentration of Zn2+ (p>0.05). Both shoot and root zinc accumulated were insignificant at lower concentration of Zn2+ (p>0.05) and significant at higher concentration of Zn2+ (p<0.05). The zinc translocation factor decreased highly insignificantly (p>0.05) at lower concentration of Zn2+ and significant at higher concentration of Zn2+ (p>0.05) in treated plants compared to control. The chlorophyll, carotenoid and proline content varied in the presence and absence of acetyl acetone and or combination of the two, with (p<0.05) or (p>0.05).

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of acetyl acetone on Zinc (Zn) uptake and growth of Drumstick (Moringa oleifera) plants. Thirty seedlings were raised in hydroponic solution containing varied concentrations of Zn and acetyl acetone. The results showed a significant (p>0.05) change in weights of the plants when concentrations of Zn and acetyl acetone were added. Plants grown in treated hydroponics died before control plants. Zn uptake and accumulation were dose dependent with respect to addition of both Zn and acetyl acetone. The translocation factor decreased highly insignificantly (P>0.05) at lower concentration of Zn and significant at higher concentration in treated plants compared to control. The chlorophyll, carotenoid and proline content were severely decreased after addition of Zn and acetyl acetone, inducing toxicity symptoms. Thus, acetyl acetone did not play any significant role in alleviating Zn-induced toxicity.

Abstract. Background: The pathophysiological basis of chronic kidney disease and its complications, including cardiovascular disease, are associated with chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of active vitamin D (calcitriol) and synthetic vitamin D analog (paricalcitol) on oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was composed of 83 patients with a minimum hemodialysis vintage of one year. Patients with a history of any infection, malignancy, and chronic inflammatory disease were excluded. Oxidative markers (total oxidant and antioxidant status) and inflammation markers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) were analyzed. Results: A total of 47% (39/83) patients were using active or analog vitamin D. Total antioxidant status was significantly higher in patients with using active or analog vitamin D than those who did not use (p = 0.006). Whereas, total oxidant status and oxidative stress index were significantly higher in patients with not using vitamin D when compared with the patients who were using vitamin D preparation (p = 0.005 and p = 0.004, respectively). On the other hand, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, and oxidative stress index were similar between patients who used active vitamin D or vitamin D analog (p = 0.6; p = 0.4 and p = 0.7, respectively). Conclusion: The use of active or selective vitamin D analog in these patients decreases total oxidant status and increases total antioxidant status. Also, paricalcitol is as effective as calcitriol in decreasing total oxidant status and increasing total antioxidant status in patients with chronic kidney disease.
