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...
