From: Mitigating role of thymoquinone rich fractions from Nigella sativa oil and its constituents, thymoquinone and limonene on lipidemic-oxidative injury in rats

Figure 1

Total phenolic contents (TPC) and Fe2+-chelating activities of Nigella sativa (NS) seed oil and its methanolic extract (ME) and volatile oil (VO), and their values are mean ± SD from 3 to 8 different experiments done in triplicate. Panel (a): TPC of NS oil and its fractions are expressed as mg gallic acid equivalent per 100 g of NS oil; or per 21.49 g of ME (average yield per 100 g of NS oil from 3 extractions); or per 1.170 g VO (average percent yield from 4 preparations). Panel (b): Chelating activities of NS oil and its fractions are expressed as mg EDTA equivalent per 100 g of NS oil; or per 21.49 g of ME (average yield per 100 g of NS oil from 3 extractions); or per 1.170 g VO (average percent yield from 4 preparations).
