Effect of Nigella Sativa Oil and Vit. E on Some Biochemical Index of Blood in Athletic Men

Abstract

This study was designed to in vestigate the protective role of Nigella oil about oxidative stress which sportsmen were exposed for it .(33)soccer (18-23) in age divided to three groups (11 player for each one ), these groups are : control group ,Nigella oil group (10 ml/player), vit.E group (400IU/player).the resulted form exercise training (soccer) caused a significant in crease in the levels of glucose and cholesterol and a significant decrease in glutathione level , while non-significant variations in the levels of MDA and TG for control group after stress ( after exercise training) . Giving the Nigella oil for sportsmen showed a significant decrease in the level of glutathione and non-significant decrease in the level of cholesterol there were no significant variation in the levels of glucose ,MDA and TG. The treatment of vit .E showed similar results to that Nigella oil expect a significant decrease in glucose level and non-significant variation in the level of glutathione when compared with control group after stress.
