Abstract in brief

  • Pumpkin seed oil may improve health indicators in postmenopausal women, including higher good cholesterol (HDL) levels and lower diastolic blood pressure.
  • The study involved 35 women, randomly assigned to receive either pumpkin seed oil or a placebo (wheat germ oil) for 12 weeks, with assessments of menopausal symptoms and health metrics.
  • Results indicated that those taking pumpkin seed oil experienced reduced menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes, headaches, and joint pain, suggesting potential for further research on its health benefits.
