Biochemical effects of Nigella sativa seeds in diabetic rats

Biochemical effects of Nigella sativa seeds in diabetic rats

Oral administration of ethanol extract of N. sativa seeds (300 mg/kg body weight/day) to streptozotocin induced diabetic rats for 30 days significantly reduced the elevated levels of blood glucose, lipids, plasma insulin and improved altered levels of lipid peroxidation products (TBARS and hydropero...
