Effects of thymoquinone rich fraction and thymoquinone on plasma lipoprotein levels and hepatic low density lipoprotein receptor and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase genes expression

Effects of thymoquinone rich fraction and thymoquinone on plasma lipoprotein levels and hepatic low density lipoprotein receptor and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase genes expression

The hypocholesterolemic effect of thymoquinone rich fraction (TQRF) extracted from Nigella sativa seeds using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) in comparison with commercial available thymoquinone (TQ) in male Sprague–Dawley rats was investigated.
