EFFECT OF FENUGREEK SUPPLEMENTATION IN DIABETES
AbstractDietary health supplements have been increasingly utilized in the prevention and treatment of chronic disorders. Over the past few decades, fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) seeds have been reported to exhibit hypoglycemic and cholesterol-lowering effects in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, as well as in experimental diabetic animal models. The aim of this paper is to review the research findings on the use of fenugreek in diabetes management. There is compelling research evidence indicating that fenugreek can improve hyperglycemia and offer protection against diabetic complications through its immunomodulatory, insulin-stimulating, and antioxidant effects, as well as by enhancing adipocyte differentiation, reducing inflammation in adipose tissues, and preventing or mitigating pancreatic and renal damage. Many of the beneficial effects of fenugreek in diabetes have been attributed to four key bioactive components: diosgenin, 4-hydroxyisoleucine, furostanolic saponins, and its fiber content.
