Protective Effects of Thymoquinone, an Active Compound of <i>Nigella sativa</i>, on Rats with <i>Benzo(a)pyrene</i>-Induced Lung Injury through Regulation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

Benzopyrene [B(a)P] is a well-recognized environmental carcinogen, which promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and other metabolic complications. In the current study, the therapeutic effects of thymoquinone (TQ) against B(a)P-induced lung injury in experimental rats were examined. B(a)P used at...
