The utilization of energy has risen to 12 billion tons/year due to the ever-increasing population and urbanization which has directly led to more energy demand. Therefore, there is an obvious need for an alternative source of fuel energy. One of the best alternatives is the use of renewable fuel energy. Fatty acids methyl esters (biodiesel) is a source

The present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of an ethanol extract of whole fruit of Lagenaria breviflora (LB) in rat and mice. Analgesic activity was measured by hot plate, formalin-induced paw licking, and acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing tests, while anti-inflammatory activity was determined
