Abstract

The results of this study demonstrated that Nigella sativa seeds oil is beneficial for attenuating complications of obesity and possibly
preventing it because of its essential polyunsaturated fatty acids; linoleic and linolenic acids and other nutrients such as liposoluble vitamins
like tocopherols and also minerals, essential amino acids, some polyphenols, terpenoids and quinones, particularly thymoquinone that have
shown potential medicinal properties in traditional medicine.

Key words: Metabolic and antioxidant effect; Nigella sativa oil, obesity
