چکیده

background: saponins identified from fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds are reported effective on dyslipidemia. however, the definite mechanism is still not elucidated systematically. in this study, we evaluate the effects of saponin extract on cholesterol absorption, metabolism, synthesis, and reverse cholesterol transport in vivo. methods: saponin extract was prepared according to a craft established in our previous study. after the establishment of dyslipidemia model, 40 male sprague-dawley rats were divided into five groups, namely the control group (normal diet plus normal saline), hfd group (high fat diet plus normal saline), lipitor group (high fat diet plus lipitor (2 mg/kg)), and l, m, and h-saponin groups (high fat diet plus saponin in dosages of 6, 12, and 24 mg/kg, respectively). rats were sacrificed at the end of the 9th week after treatment. biochemical characteristics of rats were tested, histopathological sections of liver tissue were observed, and the protein and mrna expression of related factors of cholesterol in the intestine and liver were determined. one-way anova test (spss software version 11.5, chicago, il, usa) was used to determine statistically significant differences between the hfd and other groups. results: in saponin groups, the serum lipid, bile acid efflux, anti-peroxide activities, and lipid area of liver tissue improved. cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase and scavenger receptor class b type i elevated in the liver. 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme a reductase levels were suppressed in both the serum and liver. however, significant cholesterol efflux was not found and niemann-pick c1-like 1 levels elevated in the intestine. conclusion: the mechanisms of saponin in fenugreek effect on ameliorating dyslipidemia are probably related to accelerated cholesterol metabolism, inhibited cholesterol synthesis, and facilitated reverse cholesterol transport, but not cholesterol absorption.

In vitro estrogenic activities of fenugreek Trigonella foenum graecum seeds.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Trigonella foenum graecum commonly known as fenugreek, has been widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and Mediterranean countries for the edible and medicinal values of its seeds. Earlier reports show that fenugreek seeds provide a mastogenic effect resulting in enhanced breast size. However, very little is known about its estrogenic effect. The present study investigated th...

Evaluation of antifertility activity of Trigonella foenum graecum seeds

Petroleum ether, ethanol and water extracts of Trigonella foenum graecum seeds were investigated separately to determine their antiimplantation (antifertility) and estrogenic/antiestrogenic activity in female albino rats and Swiss mice. Among these, ethanol extract was found to be the most effective as antiimplantation and estrogenic agent. In preliminary phytochemical screening, ethanol extrac...

Screening the Antioxidant activity of Trigonella foenum graecum Seeds

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...

Β-Amylase from Starchless Seeds of Trigonella Foenum-Graecum and Its Localization in Germinating Seeds

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds do not contain starch as carbohydrate reserve. Synthesis of starch is initiated after germination. A β-amylase from ungerminated fenugreek seeds was purified to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity. The enzyme was purified 210 fold with specific activity of 732.59 units/mg. Mr of the denatured enzyme as determined from SDS-PAGE was 58 kD while that of...
