“Supplementation of TQ (2 mg/kg/day) for 5 days before acetaminophen administration reversed the acetaminophen-induced increase in ALT, total nitrate/nitrite and lipid peroxide, and the decrease of reduced GSH and ATP. TQ was effective in protecting mice against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity possibly via increased resistance to oxidative and nitrosative stress (24).”

“In conclusion, it is evident that thymoquinone, the predominant constituent of N. sativa volatile oil has a wide spectrum of favorable effects. In our review we concentrated on four properties of TQ: hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cancer effects, which are supported by evidence-based research elaborating the molecular mechanisms. These beneficial effects of thymoquinone support the use of this natural compound as a drug with a wide range of medical applications. Further clinical research is required to confirm its benefits and efficacy as pharmaceutical preparation.”
