Studies with Ficus carica seed oil have shown that it has high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The aim of the study is to determine the protective effects of fig seed oil on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.
 Material and Method: The study was formed by dividing 30 Wistar Albino rats into 3 groups as control, ischemia reperfusion and ischemia reperfusion group performed after intragastric administration of 3 ml/kg Ficus carica seed oil for 14 days. At the end of the study, TOS, TAS, OSI, PON and total thiol levels were biochemically measured from the kidney tissues.
 Results: Obtained results showed that 14-day fig seed oil application reduced oxidative damage (TOS, OSI) and increased antioxidant level (TAS, PON and total thiol) in kidneys exposed to ischemia-reperfusion injury statistically (pRead More
