| Summary: | The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) seeds and
honey mixture in modulating the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among hypercholesterolemic and healthy subjects, and to assess the lipid-soluble antioxidants capacity of samples using photochemiluminescence (PCL) method. Three groups of sixty-five subjects aged 25 to 58 were selected in the first study. Two groups (healthy and hypercholesterolemic subjects) were supplemented with N. sativa seeds and honey mixture at 50 mg/kg body weight daily for three months and another group as control (healthy subjects without supplementation). |
