Evaluation of anti-ulcer potential of Germinated Trigonella foenum graecum ethanolic extract in SD rats

The current experiment was performed to examine the therapeutic action of extract against gastric ulcers in SD rats. Though this experiment explains that the germinated fenugreek seed extract showed significant improvement in gastric mucosa conditions after Indomethacininduced gastric lesions (p<0.01). Further marked improvement in antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, and Catalase was observed (P<0.01), if compared to self-healing and untreated ulcer induced groups. Histopathology reports also explain that germinated fenugreek seed extract improved the epithelial layer in treated groups compared to untreated ulcer-induced groups.
