Effect of sesame oil on some blood parameters and antioxidants in ovariectomized female white rats

Abstract

This study was conducted to find out the physiological effect of sesame seed oil (Sesamum indicum) in the case of oral treatment on post-menopause and the occurrence of surgical menopause as a result of the removal of the ovaries, by studying the changes in some blood parameters and some antioxidants in the serum of adult female rat pupae. White (Albino Rats), 15 adult rats about three months old, with weights ranging between 160-180 g, were used. The animals were randomly divided into three groups, five animals per group. The first group represented the negative control, which was normal without removing the ovaries, the second represented the positive control in which the ovaries were completely removed, and the third group had the ovaries completely removed and treated orally with sesame oil at a concentration of 4 ml/kg of body weight per day for a period of 30 days.
