THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED OIL AS AN ANTIOXIDANT

Abstract

The research was conducted to study the extent of the preventive and therapeutic role of raw moringa seed oil against cadmium toxicity that affects the functions and organs of people who are exposed to continuous and direct doses as a result of their occupation in dealing industries. With cadmium as a raw material, it is also used in the manufacture of fertilizers, as well as inhibitory concentrations and doses. For Moringa oleifera oil for oxidative stress resulting from the toxic dose of cadmium, the mice were divided into four groups, each group consisting of five adult mice. The first control and comparison group was injected with a saline solution (0.9) sodium chloride, and the second group was treated with (MSO). Oral route at a dose of (1 ml/kg) for 21 days, and the third group was treated with (cadmium) with a cadmium chloride compound in saline solution at a dose of (2 ml/kg). The fourth group was first given a single dose of cadmium chloride (2 mg kg), then (MSO) after seven days of treatment with cadmium chloride, and there were highly significant changes in the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, MD, total protein, urea, creatine, and catalase. . (p>0.05) in the group that was dosed with cadmium chloride compared to the control group, but their levels returned to normal when the group was treated with Moringa oleifera seed oil. It is concluded from this study that Moringa oleifera seed oil has a protective and effective effect. Therapeutic effect on kidney and liver indicators by chelating free radicals generated by cadmium toxicity. Similar studies have indicated
