Background: Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. (fenugreek) can ameliorate hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, however, the detailed mechanism is unclear. The present study aims to investigate the effect of fenugreek seeds water extract (FSE) on 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK-1) activity, a key enzyme of glycolysis, in the liver and small intestine of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats and its impact ...

Fenugreek is a novel forage crop in Canada that is generating interest as an alternative to alfalfa for dairy cows. To evaluate the value of fenugreek haylage relative to alfalfa haylage, six, second lactation Holstein cows (56 ± 8 days in milk), which were fitted with rumen cannulas (10 cm i.d., Bar Diamond Inc., Parma, ID, USA) were used in a replicated three × three Latin square design with ...

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 ...

It was found that fenugreek seed extract reduced the body weight gain induced by a high-fat diet in obese mice. The extract decreased plasma triglyceride gain induced by oil administration. The major component of the extract, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, also decreased plasma triglyceride gain. Consequently, fenugreek seed extract is expected to prevent the obesity induced by a high-fat diet.

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...

Some Saudi herbs and spices were analyzed. The results indicated that mustard, black cumin, and cress seeds contain high amount of fat 38.45%, 31.95% and 23.19%, respectively, as compared to clove (16.63%), black pepper (5.34%) and fenugreek (4.51%) seeds. Cress, mustard, black cumin and black pepper contain higher protein contents ranging from 26.61 to 25.45%, as compared to fenugreek (12.91%)...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present work was to study the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities of petroleum ether extract of fenugreek seeds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fenugreek seed powder was extracted in petroleum ether by cold maceration. This fenugreek seed petroleum ether extract (FSPEE) was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and tested on rats against carrageenan and form...

Many of the most commonly used labor interventions come with risks to both mother and fetus. For that reason, some women use herbal methods promote labor. Previous research suggests fenugreek, Trigonella foenum-graecum, may serve favor disease prevention. Fewer inquiries have targeted role fenugreek on uterine smooth muscle contractility its potential influence delivery. This investigation an o...

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...
