BACKGROUND/AIM This work aimed an ethnobatanical study on the galactogenic plants used in the Berhoum region (East of M'sila, Algeria) as a part of different studies on the medicinal plants related to M'sila region. METHODS The fieldwork was undertaken as an ethnobotanical survey involving 76 informants (mean age: 50; 64% women, 36% men). Used the medicinal plants were identified, and the res...

The purpose of the study is to formulate and evaluate a new, cheap and effective natural mucoadhesive agent that can be used as an effective alternative for traditional mucoadhesive agent. The study procedure involved extraction of mucoadhesive agent from the Trigonellafoenumgraecum (fenugreek) seeds, solubility testing of the mucilage obtained, phytochemical testing, determination of swelling ...

On the territory of France fenugreek is spread since long on a line from the Gironde to the Italian border. In Belarus experimental cultivation has begun since 2004. Experiments with fenugreek variety Ovari 4 were conducted about time of sowing in order to study their growth, development, and evaluation of productivity in the North-east part of Belarus and Central part of France. Reaching full ...

Background: Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is an important medicinal plant that is a source of diosgenin, trigonelline and other valuable components. Fenugreek seeds is used for its pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties. Objective: The aim of present study was to investigate the genetic diversity within and between different populations of Trigonella foenum-graecum using DNA ma...

considering the anti-diabetic potential of trigonella foenum-graecum (tfg) and its beneficial effect on aortic reactivity of diabetic rats, this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of its alcoholic seed extract on aortic reactivity and also figure out mechanisms including the role of adrenergic and angiotensinergic systems in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. male wistar rats were divided in...

background: some health-protecting secondary metabolites can be found at a higher concentration in the sprouts compared to other stages of plant growth. in addition, environmental stresses such as salt stress may be resulting in the increase or decrease of specific secondary metabolites in sprouts and plants. objective: evaluation the changes of trigonelline, nicotinic acid, and proline content...

the present study was undertaken to determine whether two-month treatment of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats with aqueous leaf extract of trigonella foenum-graecum (tfg 200 mg/kg i.p.) could improve thoracic aortic responsiveness and to evaluate its endothelium dependency. for this purpose, vascular responses to kcl and noradrenaline (na) were measured. diabetic state significantly increased...
