ABSTRACT
Antioxidative effects of N. sativa were explored using planaria as a model organism. Planaria were cultured in water, N. sativa seed extract, hydrogen peroxide, and a combination of hydrogen peroxide and N. sativa. Planaria were decapitated and observed through stages of regeneration. N. sativa treatment increased Planarian growth, locomotion, and protein. Among hydrogen peroxide stress-induced groups, growth was 92% greater, locomotion was 26% higher, and protein was 86% greater when treated with N. sativa. N. sativa accelerated the regeneration of planaria and minimized the effects of stress. N. sativa can be a promising option for preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
