Do nigella sativa oil and thymoquinone ameliorate albuminuria and renal extracellular matrix accumulation in the experimental diabetic rats?
NSO and TQ treatment decreased albuminuria in the experimental models of the diabetic nephropathy by the preservation of the podocyte function; along with the suppression of enhanced extracellular matrix gene expression through interfering with TGF-β1 production and angiogenesis.
Most accidental scald burns occurred in young children during food preparation. Greater long-term morbidity was found in patients with semisolid and grease burns. This subset of children has a higher injury burden and requires extensive care in the acute and long-term setting.
