Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the major, immune-mediated, demyelinating neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a well-established animal model of MS. The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective and ameliorative effects of N. sativa seeds (2.8 g/kg body weight) in EAE-induced Wistar rats. EAE-induced rats were divided into: 1- EAE-induced rats ("EAE" group). 2- "N. sativa + EAE" group received daily oral…

Effects of Tripterygium glycoside treatment on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

TTP effectively inhibited EAE via the inhibition of CNS inflammatory cell infiltration, enhancement of inflammatory cell apoptosis, and downregulation of the expression of NF‑κB and IL‑2.

Effect Nigella sativa extract for balancing immune response in pristane induced lupus mice model

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with wide manifestations that require long-term treatment. Current treatment has not shown a satisfying result and still yields some…

Cannabis-induced Moto-Cognitive Dysfunction in Wistar Rats: Ameliorative Efficacy of Nigella Sativa.

The observed ameliorative effects of NSO make it a promising agent against moto-cognitive dysfunction and cerebelo-hippocampal alterations induced by cannabis.

Anti-LINGO-1 improved remyelination and neurobehavioral deficit in cuprizone-induced demyelination

Evidence is provided that LINGO-1 antibody can improve remyelination and neurobehavioral deficit in multiple sclerosis and motor impairment was significantly improved in the treatment group.

Subchronic dichlorvos-induced Cardiotoxicity in Wistar rats: Mitigative efficacy of Nigella sativa oil

It can be concluded that NSO was able to attenuate DDVP-induced cardiotoxicity and increase the plasma levels of TC, LDL, atherogenic and atherosclerotic indices, but this was prevented by co-administration with NSO.

Dichlorvos Induced AChE Inhibition in Discrete Brain Regions and the Neuro-Cognitive Implications: Ameliorative Effect of Nigella Sativa

It is concluded that NSO reactivated DDVP-induced AChE inhibition and improved memory indices, thus, it may serve as a potential treatment in the management of DDVP poisoning cases.

Medicinal herbs and multiple sclerosis: Overview on the hard balance between new therapeutic strategy and occupational health risk

A glance at the therapeutic potential of medicinal plants and at the risk for MS onset of pesticides used by medicinal plant growers and present in medicinal herbs is provided.

IN VIVO AND IN VITRO EFFICACY OF NIGELLA SATIVA AQUEOUS EXTRACT ON BLASTOCYSTIS HOMINIS.

Present study proved that N. sativa had inhibitory effect on B. hominis in vitro and prevented cytopathic effect in infected mice inoculated orally with B.hominis.

Thymoquinone inhibited oxidative stress which leads into improvement in EAE animals, and may have a role in treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.

Since the mouse is a highly accessible species that is immunologically well understood, this model might lend itself to fuller dissection of autoimmune events associated with recurrent demyelination, problems of considerable significance to multiple sclerosis research.
