Background: The main goals of our study were as follows: (1) to investigate whether the methanolic extract of the new cultivar (Gürarslan) of Trigonella foenum graecum L. seeds exhibit antiproliferative effects on the HeLa human cervix carcinoma, Mat-LyLu rat prostate carcinoma and 3T3 embryonic mouse fibroblast cell lines, (2) to determine how mitosis and DNA synthesis are affected in cancer c...

The aim of the study was to investigate distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Trigonella foenum-graecum (var. Pusa Early Bunching) after fertigation with paper mill effluent. Doses of paper mill effluent viz. 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for fertigation of T. foenum-graecum along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that paper mill ef...

plants are the most sources for cadmium enters to human food and this element in food regime may be a serious threat to human health. thus, the effect of azotobacter inoculum (azotobacter chroococcum), mycorrhiza fungi (glomus intraradaices) , zinc sulphate and urea on cadmium convertation and growth parameters of fenugreek medicinal plant (trigonella foenum gracum l.) in cadmium polluted soils...

Efficacy of some local plants in the management of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination was investigated. Aqueous extracts of rhizome of Zingiber officinalis and leaf extracts of Trigonella foenum-graecum inhibited aflatoxin production to a significant level. While solvent extracts of Zingiber officinalis and Oxalis corniculata could suppress both the growth and aflatoxin production b...

In order to study the effect of irrigation interval, N fertilization and plant density on yield and yield components of fenugreek, a split-split-plot experiment was conducted in Darmian, Iran in spring 2010. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots were subjected to different irrigation intervals of 5 and 10 days. The sub-plots wer...

BACKGROUND Escherichia coli occurs naturally in the human gut; however, certain strains that can cause infections, are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Multidrug-resistant E. coli that produce extended-spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs), such as the CTX-M enzymes, have emerged within the community setting as an important cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and bloodstream infections may be...

Trigonella foenum (TF) has long been used in the traditional Indian systems of medicine for the treatment of various ailments. The objective was to study the anabolic and androgenic activity of the furostanol glycosides fraction of Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fenu-FG) in immature castrated male Wistar rats. It was also aimed to investigate the effect of Fenu-FG on testicular histology in non-cas...
