The volatile oil of N.S. is known to contain thymoquinone. This has a carbonyl fraction with extremely low toxicity. It shows a dose-dependent inhibition of histamine release from rat mast cells. The percent inhibition is significantly higher when the drug was kept in contact with the cells before antigen challenge than when the drug was added together with the antigen release. The in vivo protective effect of nigellone was more evident than in vitro effect. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of N.S. seeds on the symptomatology of allergic rhinitis comparing it with placebo and Loratadine.  ISSN : 1  Journal Name : a  Volume : 7  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2006 AH 2006 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, October 4, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email طارق جمال طارق جمال Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  20823.doc doc The Effects of Nigella Sativa on Allergic Rhinitis Back To Researches Page
