Background: Hyperlipidemia is very common in especially with the Indian diet context. So efforts are done time to time to find out the hypolipidemic ingredients in Indian diet itself, so with the use of those ingredients can neutralize the hyperlipidimia caused by a lot of fats used for cooking in India Objective: To assess and compare the hypolipidemic effect of Garlic and fenugreek. Method:A ...

in order to evaluate the effects of different planting dates and biological fertilizers on yield, yield components and essential oil content in cumin (cuminum cyminum) and fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum) intercropping, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of ferdowsi university of m...

Many traditional treatments have been recommended in the alterative system of medicine for the diabetes mellitus. Current research is now directed towards finding naturally occurring antidiabetic properties from plant origin. In Indian system of medicine Trigonella foenum graecum is an important medicinal plant and its leaves and seeds have been used in various ailments and as a health tonic. T...

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of four nitrogen treatments (50, 100, 150 and 200 Kg urea / ha) on biomass, crude protein, soluble carbohydrates and crude fiber contents in three fodders (corn, sweet sorghum and sweet sorghum bagasse) at the filed experimental station. The results showed the effects of nitrogen treatments and fodders on the above measurements were significant...

Preliminary trials have suggested possible hypoglycaemic, hypolipidaemic and immunomodulatory properties of the fenugreek plant. Here, we evaluated and compared the efficacy of Egyptian fenugreek seed powder (FSP, 0·5 and 1·0 g/kg body weight) in alleviating the experimentally induced metabolic syndrome (in type 1 diabetic and obese rat models) and experimentally induced immunosuppression and d...

The ADPglucose pyrophosphorylases of 7 plant-leaf tissues were partially purified and characterized. In all cases the enzymes showed stability to heat treatment at 65 degrees for 5 minutes in the presence of 0.02 m phosphate buffer, pH 7.0. The leaf ADPglucose pyrophosphorylases were activated 5 to 15-fold by 3-phosphoglycerate. Fructose-6-phosphate and fructose 1, 6-diphosphate stimulated ADPg...

Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) is an important medicinal plant, well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of its action remain largely unknown. The apoptosis associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) (ASC) is central to inflammatory and cell death pathways in innate and adaptive immunity. ...

The possibility of the production ‘ogi’ (a Nigerian cereal-porridge) with optimum quality was investigated using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Grains white maize (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) were used separately in combination (1:1 w/w), as substrates for fermentations a duration 48h at ambient conditions. starter cultures controlled experiment consisted 2 strains Lactobacillu...

Loss of leaf area usually results in yield loss grain crops, but the amount varies with extent and timing defoliation. Grass such as corn sorghum, are particularly sensitive to near time seed set because there is little opportunity for plant compensate. An experiment quantify reductions associated various levels defoliation imposed at different stages sorghum development was conducted Manhattan...
