“…In fact, N. sativa attenuates the damage to β-cells of the pancreas following exposure to toxic elements such as cadmium [9] . Similarly, N. sativa administration attenuates the ulcerative effects of ethanol on gastric mucosa by decreasing the glutathione-S transferase levels in gastric mucosa [10] . Besides these effects, N. sativa also demonstrates antiparasitic effects.…”

Nigella sativa (N. sativa ) decreases DNA damage and thereby prevents initiation of carcinogenesis in colonic tissue secondary to exposure to toxic agents such as azoxymethane. N. sativa is of immense therapeutic benefit in diabetic individuals and those with glucose intolerance as it accentuates glucose-induced secretion of insulin besides having a negative impact on glucose absorption from the intestinal mucosa. N. sativa administration protects hepatic tissue from deleterious effects of toxic metals such as lead, and attenuates hepatic lipid peroxidation following exposure to chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride.

“…A previous study reported that TQ could protect gastric mucosa from acute alcohol-induced mucosal injury, and that this gastroprotective effect might be induced by its radical-scavenging activity. [26] In addition, hepatoprotective effects of TQ against several hepatotoxic agents have been reported, which were attributed to its antioxidant activity. [27][28][29] It was also reported that TQ could be used to treat ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.…”

“…Several experimental evidences proved that the herbs have gastro protective activities against gastric mucosal injury induced by ethanol 21 , ischemia reperfusion 22 , indomethacin 21 , alcohol toxicity 23 or stress 24 in rat. Herb-induced gastro protection mechanism varies according to the nature and chemical constituents of the herbs.…”

Abstract: Both NS and TQ, particularly NS can partly protect gastric mucosa from acute alcohol-induced mucosal injury, and these gastroprotective effects might be induced, at least partly by their radical scavenging activity.
