The flow chart of participants and their follow-up is shown in Figure 1.
A total of 44 cases completed the study. Four patients were excluded
from the study because of personal reasons (three patient) and allergy
to Nigella sativa oil (one patient). At baseline, there was no
significant difference in general characteristics between the groups
(Table 1). The results of our study showed that NS oil supplementation
had no significant effect on serum levels of leptin and adiponectin
(p >0.05). Also, no significant effect were seen with
this supplementation on systolic and diastolic blood pressure among
patients with NAFLD (Table 2).
