Trigonella foenum-graecum (Fabaceae) is a medicinal plant. It is traditionally used in the treatment and prevention of several ailments. Pharmacological investigations showed anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anticancer, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory activities. Phytochemical analysis showed the presence of quinone, flavones, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, terpenoids, lactones, alkaloids and po...

Thiosemicarbazides have found to contain antimicrobial, antiviral activities against various virus, bacteria and fungi strains. The objective of the study was to study the seed germination and physiological maturity stage of Trigonella foenum graecum and Brassica (L.). The effect of various concentrations of 1γ picolinoyl-4-phenyl Thiosemicarbazides on mitotic Indices in root tip cell in Trigon...

Tribes Trifolieae and Vicieae along with Cicereae and Galega (Galegeae) form a monophyletic group that has been designated informally as the “vicioid clade”. There is good support from analyses of various molecular data for the clade itself, but relationships of genera within the clade are not fully understood nor has monophyly of the tribes and genera been fully tested. Sequences of the plasti...

This study was undertaken to examine the antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds using DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The IC50 (The concentration of sample required to scavenge 50% of DPPH free radical) was calculated by plotting graph between % inhibition vs concentration. The Ascorbic acid was used as standard antioxidant in comparison to me...

To investigate the absorption and the inhibition of glucose by the aqueous seed extracts of Trigonella foenum gracum. The small intestine of all animals were removed, washed with 0.9% (w/v) normal saline and intestinal segments were everted the empty sac was filled with 0.5 ml of the KHB buffer and placed in a stoppered conical flask with 5 ml of the buffer with varying concentration of glucose...

Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG) seeds exert a protective antioxidant effect and membrane protector through their rich content in polyphenolic flavonoids. The previous research focused on the hypoglycemic action of the seeds, with scarce studies on the preventive effects in the pathology of the kidney. Our work was conducted on an experimental in vivo model; the animals were given two different ...

This study examined the effect of Testofen, a specialised Trigonella foenum-graecum seed extract on the symptoms of possible androgen deficiency, sexual function and serum androgen concentrations in healthy aging males. This was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial involving 120 healthy men aged between 43 and 70 years of age. The active treatment was standardised Trigonella foe...
