Background and objectives: Sedentary life style and high-fat diet are one of the key causes of coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of periodic exercise and consumption of fenugreek seed extract on the expression of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) genes in patients with coronary artery occlusion. Methods: The present ...

Globally a large number of people are affected by acute and chronic diseases resulting in high morbidity mortality rate. A huge amount pharmaceutical drugs being manufactured on daily basis to combat these diseases. But due their cost deleterious effects, it becomes critically important state emphasis finding an alternative way manage long term conditions. Medicinal herbs could provide good sou...

conclusions it appears that fenugreek seed might be effective against hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance in ovariectomized rats without impact on serum apelin. furthermore, 17-β estradiol could have similar effects along with possible inhibitory effects on serum apelin. the complicated role of apelin in menopause needs to be further explored. results serum apelin, glucose, lip...

abstract in order to study the effect of different organ extracts of fenugreek (trigonella gracum (on germination of some crops and weeds, an experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with 3 replications. factors included 4 species soybean (glysin max),sesame ( sesamus indicum) , pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) and velvetleaf (abotilon teophrasti) and the extract of different fe...

In this study, alkali dietary fiber extraction method was evaluated to obtain soluble and insoluble from Trigonella-foenum graecum L. (fenugreek) seeds. The process conditions of ensuring the highest total yield were investigated by response surface methodology. Furthermore, some physicochemical functional properties extracted fenugreek seeds such as water retention capacity, oil adsorption swe...

Changes in blood glucose are hypothesized to influence cognitive performance and these changes can be affected by certain nutrients. This double-blind 4-period cross-over study evaluated the effects of a slow-release modified sucrose (isomaltulose) in combination with a high concentration of lactose on cognitive performance of 5-6 year old children. Thirty children received a standard growing u...

Sugarless chewing gum is a frequently used stimulant to collect saliva samples for hormone analyses. This study tested the effect of sugarless chewing gum on cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone concentrations measured in saliva samples collected from 8 individuals at different times of the day (morning, evening) and under different collection conditions (gum, no gum) as well as in a saliva...

Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight substance with potential in improving emulsions properties. The formulation composition was selected on Tween 80 ternary phase diagram and was modified by the addition of xanthan gum at different concentrations (0.0% – 1.0%). The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of xanthan gum on physicochemical and rheological properties of rice br...

ferula galbaniflua boiss is one of the natural plants of iran that its exudates, barijeh gum, can be used in food industry. the present study explored the properties of a new gum extracted from tubers of ferula galbaniflua. for this purpose, barijeh gum was extracted from crude exudates by alcoholic extraction with 90% ethanol. the purity of gum was relatively high, and it composed mostly of sa...

in order to effects of fertilizer source and intercropping ratios on macronutrients concentration and uptake of fenugreek and black cumin, a factorial experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at shahrekord university research farm in 2013. sole cropping of fenugreek (f) and sole cropping of black cumin (b) and three intercropping ratios (f:b 2:1, f:b ...
