Summary
The hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic effect of Trigonella foenum (Fenugreek) was studied on twenty rats (90-120 g in weight). They were divided into four groups; all group members were each dosed with 200 mg/kg of glucose per Os. Group B then received 2mg/kg insulin I/P, group C and group D, respectively received 400 and 800 mg/kg of T. foenum methanolic extract per Os, blood samples were taken, glucose and cholesterol levels were measured.
