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...

BACKGROUND Trigonella foenum-graecum (L.) (Fabaceae, Fenugreek) is an important ingredient of Ayurvedic and other marketed herbal formulations. Fenugreek seeds are employed in many traditional systems as an antibacterial and antidiabetic agent, gastric stimulant and galactogogue. Trigonelline, a major phytoconstituent found in fenugreek seeds, shows estrogenic, anti-diabetic and anti-invasive a...

The use of bioactive tanniniferous plants seems a promising alternative to control infections parasitic nematodes of the gastro intestinal tract in small ruminants. Both in vitro and in vivo studies, have confirmed the anthelmintic properties of several forage legumes, or tropical and browse plants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic (AH) effect of 3 Tunisian...

In this study, alkali dietary fiber extraction method was evaluated to obtain soluble and insoluble from Trigonella-foenum graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds. The process conditions of ensuring the highest total yield were investigated by response surface methodology. Furthermore, some physicochemical functional properties extracted fenugreek seeds such as water retention capacity, oil adsorption swe...
