Hyperlipidemia is a condition of abnormally elevated levels of lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood circulation. It is usually accompanied with obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) and has become a great threat to human health. New therapeutic strategies are needed for the prevention and treatment of both genetic interventi...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Fenugreek is a herb that is widely used in cooking and as a traditional medicine for diabetes in Asia. It has been shown to acutely lower postprandial glucose levels, but the long-term effect on glycemia remains uncertain. We systematically reviewed clinical trials of the effect of fenugreek intake on markers of glucose homeostasis. METHODS PubMed, SCOPUS, the Cochrane Tria...

Background: A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, during rabi 2016-17 to study the Effect phosphorus and sulphur fertilization on growth, yield quality fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). Method: The laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Treatment combinations ...

Methods Female C3H/HeJ mice were gavaged at days 0, 1, 2, 7, and 21 with fenugreek in doses ranging from 0.1 mg to 10 mg. Cholera toxin (CT) was used as an adjuvant (10 μg/mouse). The mice were euthanized on day 28, and sera were analysed for fenugreek-specific IgE using the heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis assay. Based on this dose-response experiment, twenty four mice were gavaged w...

An extract of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) seeds was isolated and evaluated for antioxidant activity using various in vitro assay systems. The seed extract exhibited scavenging of hydroxyl radicals ( OH) and inhibition of hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver mitochondria. The OH scavenging activity of the extract was evaluated by pulse radiolysis and the deoxyribos...

This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of Fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) on overall performance broiler. A total 96-day old Cobb-500 chicks were randomly divided into four dietary treatment groups namely 0, 1, 2 and 3 having three replications in each group. Brooded separated wise separate pen rear up 4 weeks. Each group contains 24 birds (8 replication). Experiment...

Germination models are really useful in predicting seed germination, attributed to their application economic crop management. Hence, we evaluated cardinal temperatures (Ts), germination behavior, and model coefficients of fenugreek under varying (Ts; 10, 20, 30, 40 °C) water potentials (ψs 0, −0.01, −0.02, −0.05 MPa). We observed that the maximum minimum hydrotime constant (θH) values at 20 °C...

A laboratory trial was conducted to determine whether suspensions of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) could interfere with the early growth of fenugreek. This plant species is one of the recommended species by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Nine concentrations of ZnO NPs (10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000 mg/L) were prepared in deionized )DI( water (co...
