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

Figure 2

Inhibition of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposomes by ME and VO fractions and pure TQ. Lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposomes, prepared from type VII Folch bovine brain extract (Sigma-Aldrich Inc. USA), was induced by Fe3+-ascorbate. Lipid peroxidation was monitored by measuring the formation of malondialdehye. MDA value in control samples incubated without ME, VO or TQ is represented as 100%, whereas inhibition of lipid peroxidation at indicated concentrations of the above fractions and TQ are represented as a percentage of the control value. MDA values represent mean of triplicate determinations.
