Abstract
The search for new hypoglycaemic compounds for the treatment of diabetes or any condition that leads to hyperglycemia. Several evidences suggest that oxidative stress plays a major role in pathogenesis of disease. Damage to RBC membrane lipid and protein is caused by high levels of free radicals which will finally result in hemolysis. An extract from seeds of Trigonella foenum graecum was evaluated for its protective action against H2O2 induced oxidation and different concentration of NaCl induced hemolysis in normal sheep erythrocytes on treatment with fenugreek extract the oxidative modification in both were found to reduce significantly. The total phenolic content in extract was determined on spectrophotometrically using folin-ciocalfeau procedure and the fenugreek inhibition of lipid peroxidation was concentration dependant upto 160µg/l of extract which contained 1.2mM gallic acid equivalent(GAE) of phenolic compounds these findings demonstrated the sound knowledge regarding patient anti-oxidant property of fenugreek seeds.
Keywords: fenugreek seed extract, osmotic fragility test, sheep red blood cells, lipid peroxidation, hemolysis
