 The study found that pumpkin seed oil, PSO, can reduce the harmful side effects of methotrexate, MTX, a commonly used chemotherapy drug, on the lungs. PSO contains high concentrations of essential fatty acids, which are known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties were observed in this study, where PSO reduced oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death caused by MTX. Additionally, PSO also prevented the activation of genes associated with cell death and inflammation. This suggests that PSO may be beneficial in treating patients who experience long complications while undergoing chemotherapy.
