| Pharmacological effect | A study on the chemopreventive activities of Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. against breast cancer showed that fenugreek seed's extract significantly inhibited the dimethylbenz anthracene -induced mammary hyperplasia and decreased its incidence [PMID:15936223]. On a research to study the effect of soluble dietary fiber fraction of Trigonella foenum-graecum Linn. on glycemic, insulinemic, lipidemic and platelet aggregation status of Type 2 diabetic model rat showed that the plant has a beneficial effect on dyslipidemia and has a tendency to inhibit platelet aggregation in Type 2 model diabetic rats [PMID:12902054]. Evaluation on the preventive efficacy of dietary fenugreek seeds and its major steroidal saponin constituents, diosgenin, on azoxymethane-induced rat colon carcinogenesis during initiation and promotion stages showed that diosgenin inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in the HT-29 human colon cancer cell line in a dose-dependent manner [PMID:15298963]. | ||||
| Medical system | Indonesian medicine (Jamu) | ||||
| Traditional usage | Treatment of asthma, cough, irregular menstruation, appetite stimulant, sore throat, digestive problems, haemorrhoids/hemorrhoids, abscesses, fallen hair and rheumatism.
