The effect of nigella sativa oil on male reproductive function in male Wistar rats exposed to an obesogenic diet

Magister Scientiae (Medical Bioscience) - MSc(MBS) / Obesity is a growing public health concern globally, particularly in developed
countries such as the United States (US). More than 30% of Americans are
considered obese. In the past 20 years in America, incidence of obesity has
increased significantly (Mokdad et al., 2003). As a consequence, the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) anticipates that 1 in 3 American adults will be diabetic by
2050 (Boyle et al., 2001; Hedley et al., 2004). The most important cause of obesity is
poor nutrition, absence of physical exercise and unfavourable lifestyle changes
(James et al., 2001).
