Can Nigella Sativa Oil (NSO) Reverse Hypothyroid Status Induced by PTU in Rat? Biochemical and Histological Studies
[Nigella
sativa increased serum triiodothyronine thyroxin and decreased TSH. ... Nigella sativa
oil has antioxidant effect that could ameliorate PTU induced oxidative stress and damage of thyroid follicles so could be considered to have a significant therapeutic role in hypothyroid disease.]
The effects of Nigella sativa L. ethanolic extract on thyroid function in normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats.
[Results: NSE induced a significant increase in the T 3 serum concentration on both day 7 th and 14 th in the diabetic rats and increase T 4 serum concentration on day 14 th in the normal rats. Conclusions: The results revealed that daily oral administration of Nigella sativa L. ethanolic extract (1 g/kg Bwt.) for 14 days significantly increased the serum concentration of T 4 in the normal Wistar albino rats. On the other hand the results revealed that treatment returned the serum concentration of T 3 to the normal level in the Alloxan-induced diabetic rats.]
EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION WITH NIGELLA SATIVA SEEDS ON SOME BLOOD METABOLITES AND REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF OSSIMI MALE LAMBS
[ See Table(1)
Meanwhile, both hormones were significantly higher in treatment groups than control group at all ages with no significant differences in - between. Thyroxin showed higher response to treatment with Nigella Sativa seeds than triiodothyronine.]
I might get some and try it. Looks like you'd only need to take about a teaspoon per day, shouldn't be too harmful in the short run PUFA-wise.
