     Acetaminophen also called paracetamol is commonly used as analgesic and antipyretic agent which in high doses causes liver and kidney damage in man and animals. Nigella sativa oil have antioxidant properties. Thirty adult male rats were used and randomly divided into three equal groups. Group (A) untreated and served as control group; Group (B) rats were orally intubated (by gavages needle) acetaminophen suspension (150mg/kg B.W). Group (C) rats were given orally acetaminophen suspension (150mg/kg) plus 1ml/kg B.W of Nigella sativa oil for 42 days in both treated group. Fasting blood samples were collected at 21 and 42 days of experiment to study the following parameters:  Serum creatinine concentration and blood urea nitrogen concentration. The results revealed a significant increase of acetaminophen group in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen concentrations as compression with GA. Animals treated with Nigella sativa oil plus acetaminophen (C) showed a significant decline in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen concentrations. In conclusion, the acetaminophen was effective in induction of oxidative stress and change in some biological markers related to kidney disease. Also it seems that Nigella sativa oil exerts protective actions against the damaging effect of acetaminophen

Nigella Sativa Oil

This study is aimed at elucidating the possible protective effects of Nigella sativa oil (NSO) in alleviating the toxicity of chlorpyrifos (CPF) on reproductive performance in male rats. Animals were orally administered with NSO (1 ml/kg/day), CPF (20 mg/kg/day), and NSO + CPF every day for 4 weeks. Results showed that CPF decreased spermatid number, sperm count, daily sperm production, and sperm motility while increased dead sperm and abnormal sperm compared with the control. Also the levels of testosterone, thyroxine levels, steroidogenic enzyme 17-ketosteroid reductase, body weight, food intake, and relative weight of reproductive organs were decreased. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were increased, while glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant enzymes were decreased in plasma and testes of rats treated with CPF. Histopathological examination of testes showed a decrease in the number of seminiferous tubules, form shrinkage, enlargement of the connective tissue and gametogenic changes in germ cells of rats treated with CPF. NSO alone increased testosterone, semen characteristics, GSH, and antioxidant enzymes and decreased the levels of free radicals. Furthermore, the presence of NSO with CPF alleviates its toxic effects. Our results indicated that NSO can improve semen picture and moderate CPF-induced reproductive toxicity.

Abstrak Cisplatin (CP) merupakan agen kemoterapi yang banyak digunakan dan menyebabkan nefrotoksisitas. Minyak jintan hitam (MJH) dan madu (M) diketahui memiliki efek nefroprotektif. Tujuan: Mengetahui efek dan sinergitas kombinasi MJH dan madu pada kadar malondialdehid (MDA) ginjal tikus yang diberi pajanan CP. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan 30 ekor tikus jantan yang dibagi menjadi 10 kelompok: Kontrol Normal (KN) (diet ad libitum), MJH1 (1 mL/kgBB MJH), MJH2 (2 mL/kgBB MJH), M1 (3,7 mL/kgBB M), M2 (7,4 mL/kgBB M), MJH1-M1 (1 mL/kgBB MJH dan 3,7 mL/kgBB M), MJH1-M2 (1 mL/kgBB MJH dan 7,4 mL/kgBB M), MJH2-M1 (2 mL/kgBB MJH dan 3,7 mL/kgBB M), MJH2-M2 (2 mL/kgBB MJH dan 7,4 mL/kgBB M), dan CP (diet ad libitum). MJH dan madu diberikan secara oral selama 21 hari. Pada hari ke-18, KN diberikan NaCl 0,9% 1 ml/kgBB sedangkan sisanya diberikan CP dosis tunggal 8 mg/kgBB secara intraperitoneal. Kadar MDA ginjal diukur menggunakan metode thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Didapatkan kadar MDA ginjal yang lebih rendah pada semua kelompok dosis tunggal dan kombinasi dibandingkan dengan kelompok CP (p=0,000). Semua kelompok dosis kombinasi memiliki indeks kombinasi <1. Kombinasi MJH dan madu memberikan efek protektif sinergis terhadap kerusakan oksidatif jaringan ginjal tikus akibat pajanan CP. Kata kunci: Minyak jintan hitam, madu, indeks kombinasi, cisplatin, nefrotoksisitas Abstract Cisplatin (CP) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent that induces nephrotoxicity. Nigella sativa oil (NSO) and honey (H) have demonsrated nephroprotective effect. To investigate the effect and synergy of NSO and honey combination on kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in CP-induced rats. Thirty male rats were divided into ten groups: Normal Control (NC), NSO1, NSO2, H1, H2, NSO1-H1, NSO1-H2, NSO2-H1, NSO2-H2, and CP-treated group which received ad libitum diet, 1 mL/kgbwt. NSO, 2 mL/ kgbwt. NSO, 3.7 mL/kgbwt. H, 7.4 mL/kgbwt. H, 1 mL/kgbwt. NSO and 3.7 mL/kgbwt. H, 1 mL/kgbwt. NSO and 7.4 mL/kgbwt. H, 2 mL/kgbwt. NSO and 3.7 mL/kgbwt. H, 2 mL/kgbwt. NSO and 7.4 mL/kgbwt. H, ad libitum diet, respectively, for 21 days. On the 18th day, NC group received 1 ml/kgbwt. NaCl 0.9% while the rest received 8 mg/kgbwt. single dose CP intraperitoneally. Kidney MDA levels was measured using thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) method. Kidney MDA levels was significantly lower in all single and combination dose treatment groups compared to CP-treated group (p=0,000). Combination index of all combination dose treatment groups is <1. NSO and honey combination provided synergistic protective effect against CP-induced oxidative damage in kidney tissue in rats.
