The aim of the study was to investigate distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Trigonella foenum-graecum (var. Pusa Early Bunching) after fertigation with paper mill effluent. Doses of paper mill effluent viz. 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for fertigation of T. foenum-graecum along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that paper mill ef...

Spices are indispensable components of Indian cuisines since ancient times. Spices are considered as a rich source of bio-active antimicrobial compounds. Antibacterial potentials of ethanolic extracts of two Indian spices Syzygium aromaticum (Lavang) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Methi) were investigated. The extracts were subjected to a screening of antibacterial activity against selected tes...

Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) seeds have been documented as a traditional plant treatment for diabetes. In the present study, the antidiabetic properties of a soluble dietary fibre (SDF) fraction of T. foenum-graecum were evaluated. Administration of SDF fraction (0 x 5 g/kg body weight) to normal, type 1 or type 2 diabetic rats significantly improved oral glucose tolerance. Total remai...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an aromatic plant that yields secondary metabolites, continuously used for the readiness of food and medicines. The current study conducted to assess impact inoculation mycorrhiza on growth Trigonella foenum-graecum in different soil samples. presents two arrangements treatment experimental control pots. Different samples were obtained from areas In pots...

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 (Fenugreek) was administered at 2 and 8 g/kg dose orally to normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. It produced a significant fall (P < 0.05) in blood glucose both in the normal as well as diabetic rats and the hypoglycemic effect was dose related.

BACKGROUND Several experimental and clinical studies support beneficial effects of Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) in the management of metabolic diseases and inflammatory disorders. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of T. foenum-graecum seed extract in reducing the metabolic and inflammatory alternations associated with menopause. MATERIALS AND METHODS In...

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...

Trigonella foenum-graecum L. (Fenugreek) is an important plant of the Leguminosae family known to have medicinal properties. However, fraction based antiquorum sensing and antibiofilm activities have not been reported from this plant. In the present study T. foenum-graecum seed extract was sequentially fractionated and sub-MICs were tested for above activities. The methanol fraction of the extr...

The use of bioactive tanniniferous plants seems a promising alternative to control infections parasitic nematodes of the gastro intestinal tract in small ruminants. Both in vitro and in vivo studies, have confirmed the anthelmintic properties of several forage legumes, or tropical and browse plants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic (AH) effect of 3 Tunisian...
