ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to compare the antidiabetic potentialities between standardized fenugreek powdered seed (FG) are modified fenugreek (FGM). HPTLC chromatographic fingerprint of both the samples were determined. Anti-hyperglycaemic activities of test drugs were evaluated on alloxan induced (120 mg/kg, i.p) diabetic rats. The glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides in blood were monitored. FGM (50-150 mg/kg, p.o) exhibited best potentiality in reducing blood glucose within 14 days treatment in comparison with FG. FGM also significantly (p<0.5) negated elevations of lipid profile in diabetic rats. The observed effects were also comparable with Glibenclamide (5 mg/kg). The present observation identified FGM for anti-hyperglycaemic and lipid lowering actions and substantiates its uses on diabetic population.
