This study determined the effects of fenugreek on postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) and satiety among overweight and obese individuals. Fourteen subjects were studied in the morning after overnight fasts on four separate occasions. Glycaemic responses elicited by 50 g carbohydrate portions of white bread and jam with or without 5.5 g of fenugreek and fried rice with or without 5.5 g fenugreek w...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds were extracted in 80% methanol to examine the content of various potent antioxidant compounds and their influence on in-vitro oxidation of biomolecules i.e. amount. proteins, lipids and DNA. Fenugreek extract had polyphenols (9.47±0.10 mg GAE/g dry seeds) as major antioxidant principle. Gallic acid (170.335μg), caffeic acid (164.550 μg), ellagic acid ...

in order to evaluation the different sowing date and different harvest time in intercropping of maize and legume plants on maize forage quality, a randomized complete block with three replications conducted in research field of university of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources in 2011. treatments were included three legume plants (soybean, fenugreek and cowpea) at two sowing time (...

The present study is about potential variations of bioactive compounds from different commercial brands of fenugreek; in relation to multiple organic solvent systems, antioxidants and antimicrobial assays. Total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, individual phenolic acids, and DPPH assays were checked whereas phenolics analysis was performed by HPLC spectrophotometrically. Antimicrobi...

in order to study effects of competitive weeds (sinapis arvensis, hordeum spp., secale montanum and agrostemma githago) on morphological traits, yield and harvest index of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university of tabriz, during 2007-2008. experimental factors were weeds controlling times included weeding in rosette (5-7 lea...

The present study aims to examine the protective effect of fenugreek and the underlying mechanism against the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic rats. A rat model of diabetes was successfully established by direct injection of STZ and then the rats were administered an interventional treatment of fenugreek. Parameters of renal function, including...
