Introduction: Menopause is the permanent cessation of menses, typically occurs in women of 45-55 years. Menopause is associated with a number of somatic, psychological and sexual symptoms due to decline in estradiol levels resulting in poor quality of life of postmenopausal females. Aims & Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to determine the effect of Nigella sativa on menopausal symptoms and estradiol levels in postmenopausal females. Place and duration of study: Department of Physiology PGMI, Lahore for 8 weeks. Material & Methods: It was an interventional study conducted on 30 postmenopausal females. Nigella sativa was administered in the dose of 1g/day after breakfast for a period of 8 weeks. Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS) was filled and blood sample was taken before and after giving Nigella sativa for estradiol and testosterone levels. Data was analyzed by paired t-test using SPSS-21 and p- value less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The result of the study showed that there was statistically significant reduction in the overall score of MRS (p = 0.001) and in all its domains, somatic (p=0.001), psychological (p=0.001) and urogenital (p=0.017). There was also significant improvement in blood estradiol level after 8 weeks of Nigella sativa administration (p= 0.021). Conclusion: Nigella sativa supplementation increases estradiol level and decreases menopausal symptoms severity as indicted by significant reduction in the 3 domains of MRS and may be used by postmenopausal females on regular basis to improve their quality of life.

Purpose In this study, we looked at the benefits of a Nigella sativa supplementation diet and how nonessential fatty acids were controlled in Labeo rohit. Methods For a total of 28 days, Labeo rohita were fed various supplemental diets including 0.00 percent, 1%, and 2.5 percent black cumin seed. The effect of black cumin seed on Labeo rohita's fatty acid profile was investigated. Saturated fatty acids were high at the start of the trial, but they reduced after supplementation, and the difference in fatty acids between groups was statistically significant (?0.05). When black cumin seed was added to fish diet, it reduced saturated fatty acids (methyl heptadedecanoate and methyl stearate) while increasing unsaturated fatty acids (gamma-linolenic acid and methyl cis-5,8,11,14 eicosatetraenoic) ConclusionIn conclusion , adding 2.5 percent black cumin seed bin feed enhanced un-saturated fatty acids, which improved the quality of the fish flesh.
