Mr Adeleke Opeyemi Samson is a lecturer in the Department of Anatomy, College of Health Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo. He joined Osun State University work force in the year 2015 as an Assistant Lecturer. He had his first degree (B.Tech) in Anatomy (Second Class upper division) from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology Ogbomoso and Masters of Science (M.sc.) degree in Anatomy from University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. programme in the field of Reproductive Anatomy at the University of Ilorin. Mr Adeleke is a Member of Anatomical Society of Nigeria (ASN), Member, Society of Experimental and Clinical Anatomists of Nigeria (SECAN) and also Member, Red Cross Society of Nigeria.
Mr. Adeleke Opeyemi is committed:
To train students in Topography Anatomy/Macroscopic and Microscopic Anatomy knowledge that will be sufficient for them to proceed for further studies in related fields of specialization and enable them to apply the course to life situations.
To train and supervise student projects and help them to be skillful at using the basic research instruments that will make them competitive globally in the field of Anatomy.
Set and mark assignments and set examination questions as well as assessing the work and progress of students by reference to defined criteria and provide constructive feedback to students.
My area of research interest are Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology and my research so far has contributed to the establishment of the toxicity profiling of some Antipsychosis drugs (Chlorpromazine and Rawoulfia vomitoria), Antihypertensive drugs (Methyldopa and Moringa oleifera) and Chemicals/Metals (Pyrethroids and Aluminum) which are widely used drugs and chemicals. The findings of these studies have helped to establish the safety or otherwise effects of these drugs and chemicals on male fertility to the users and medical personnel. Moreover, my research so far has helped to showed high beneficiary effects of some natural products and supplements (Rauwolfia vomitoria, Moringa oleifera and Riboceine) on male fertility (as Fertility enhancer).
Some of the research work are; Sperm parameters and histopathological expression in animal model testes after exposure to Aluminum and Pyrethroids. Ameliorating effects of D-ribose-L-cysteine on the reproductive parameters; GnRH and Bax protein expression in hypothalamus and testes respectively after exposure to antipsychotic drugs; DBY gene expression in psychotic patient treated with herbal antipsychotic drugs; Steroidogenic enzymes, DAZ gene and p53 protein expression after exposure to different ranges of electromagnetic radiation from Smartphone.
Carrying out administrative duties has assigned by the Head of the Department, some of which include student liaison officer and Department examination officer
Carrying out research that will positively impact the University and Communities at large.
