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 ...

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...

BACKGROUND To screen methanolic extracts of 26 commonly used Indian spices against nine species of uropathogenic bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), isolated from clinical samples of a tertiary care hospital for antib...

Background: Plants contain phytochemicals that are crucial to their growth and development. The potential health benefits of dietary including flavonoids, isoflavones other polyphenols. Polyphenolic substances, the largest class phytochemicals, act as strong antioxidants due abundance hydroxyl groups. Trigonella foenum-graceum also known Fenugreek is rich source therefore possess extraordinary ...

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...
