NIGELLA SATIVA AMELIORATES OXIDATIVE STRESS INDUCED BY DIETHYL PHTHALATE – AN IN VITRO STUDY
The present experiment was designed to assess oxidative stress, if any, caused by diethyl phthalate and its amelioration by Nigella sativa seed extract. For this, the liver and kidney homogenates were treated with different concentrations (10-40 µg/mL) of DEP with or without Nigella sativa seed extract. Lipid peroxidation, a marker for oxidative stress along with total protein content was analyze...
