Background and objectives: Trigonella tehranica (Leguminosae) is an indigenous plant in northern regions of Iran. There were many reports about antimicrobial activity of other specious of this genus; therefore, the aim of present study was investigation of chemical compounds and antimicrobial activities of T. tehranica essential oils for the first time. <stron...

Karyotypes of ten sections of genus Trigonella Linnaeus, 1753 (Fabaceae) from Turkey were investigated. Somatic chromosome numbers of examined species were determined as 2n=14 and 16. The karyotype analyses of the species were carried out and somatic chromosome numbers of Trigonella plicata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella brachycarpa (Fisch.) Moris, 1833, Trigonella rostrata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella l...

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...

The response of three species of Trigonella, namely, Trigonella stellata, Trigonella hamosa and Trigonella anguina to gamma irradiation stress was investigated with respect to antioxidant enzyme induction. When dry seeds were subjected to gamma rays (0, 40, 60, 80, 100 Krad) from a cobalt source Co at a dose rate of 233.5 rad/ min, a dose dependent increase in the activities of ascorbate peroxi...

The activity of glyoxalase I from the soluble fraction of diabetic rat liver was found to decrease as compared to the control. Sodium orthovanadate in drinking water and Trigonella foenum graecum seed powder when administered to these diabetic animals were found to reverse the activity of glyoxalase I to control values. A combination of the above two antidiabetic compounds showed a better rever...

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...
