We have evaluated the beneficial effects of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) on rats with hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Methods: Thirty newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups as hyperoxia (95% O-2), hyperoxia + NSO and control (21% O-2). Pups in the hyperoxia + NSO group were administered intraperitoneal NSO at a dose of 4 ml/kg daily during the study period. Histopathologic, immunochemical, and biochemical evaluations (superoxide dismutase [SOD], glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px], malonaldehyde [MDA] and myeloperoxidase [MPO]) were performed. Results: In the histopathologic and immunochemical evaluation, severity of lung damage was significantly lower in the hyperoxia + NOS group (P<.05). Tissue GSH-Px and SOD levels were significantly preserved, and MDA, MPO levels were significantly lower in the hyperoxia + NSO group (P<.05). Conclusion: NSO significantly reduced the severity of lung damage due to hyperoxia.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRespiratory systemBronchopulmonary dysplasiaOxygen-induced lung injuryPreterm infantsNigella sativa oilProtectionRatOxygenAntioxidantsInflammationElastaseDamageRatsArticle0003138593000032-s2.0-84871720352152149122592006Respiratory systemThymoquinone; Nigella Sativa; AntioxidantGlutathione peroxidaseMalonaldehydeMyeloperoxidaseNigella sativa oilSuperoxide dismutaseUnclassified drugVegetable oilAnimal experimentAnimal modelAnimal tissueArticleBiochemical compositionBlack cuminControlled studyDisease severityDrug effectHistopathologyHyperoxiaImmunochemistryLung injuryNewbornNonhumanRat
