Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) seeds have previously been shown to have hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effects on type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and experimental diabetic animals. The Trigonella foenum-graecum extract has now been investigated for its effects on general properties, blood glucose and blood lipid, and hemorheological parameters in experimental diabetic ...

The present study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of Trigonella foenum graecum and Coccinia indica individualy and in combination in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats for a period of 90 days. The various groups in this study included normal control (Group-I), diabetic control (Group-II), diabetic rats treated with Trigonella foenum graecum (Group-III), diabetic rats treated with Coccin...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In the present study the amount of three important flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin) and five phenolic acids (gallic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, vanillic acid and caffeic acid) were determined from four medicinally important indigenous plants like Euphorbia tirucalli, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Cyperus rotundus and Rheum emodi. Methanolic extracts of native parts and gemmo-mod...

background: studies have emphasized the effect of trigonella foenum-graecum extract on the reduction of pain and inflammation. objective: in this research we investigated the mechanisms of trigonella foenum-graecum extract in reducing pain and inflammation induced by formalin. methods: male albino mice (weight 20 - 25 g) were evaluated through the injection of 2 microliters of formalin to the p...
