The abnormalities of sperm were al...

The use of plants as abortifacient and as contraceptive was well known to the ancient physicians of India. Various medicinal plant extracts have been tested for their antifertility activity both in male and female animal models. This review presents the profiles of plants with antifertility, reported in the literature from 1994-2010. The profiles p...

The antidiabetic effect of ethanolic extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum seed powder was investigated in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Oral administration of ethanolic extract of T. foenum-graecum seed powder (50mg/100g bodyweight) for 48 days on the blood glucose level, serum cholesterol level, SGOT and SGPT level in normal and alloxan-induced d...
