Moreover, fenugreek seed is a rich source of antioxidant and such potentiality inhibit the pathogenesis of diseases through free radical scavenging activity. Besides, fenugreek and its active compound shows role in tumour inhibition through modulating various genes activity including induction of apoptosis, tumour suppressor gene and inhibition of tumor necrosis factor. This review comprehensively summarizes the role of fenugreek seeds in health management through modulating various physiological and biochemical activities, along with special emphasis on &lt;em&gt;in vitro &lt;/em&gt;and&lt;em&gt; in vivo&lt;/em&gt; study.&lt;/p&gt;

Current synthetic antidiabetic drugs are associated with side effects that have restricted their usage. Antidiabetic plants such as &lt;em&gt;Zingiber officinale&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Trigonella foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt;, commonly used as medicinal herbs in India, provide an attractive alternative as a source of maltase inhibitors. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to determine maltase inhibitory activity in antidiabetic plants in comparison with that of a synthetic drug, Acarbose, used as a positive control. &lt;strong&gt;Study Design:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;In vitro&lt;/em&gt; Enzyme Inhibition Assay. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Aqueous plant extracts were prepared using rhizome of &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; and leaves of &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt;. Varying concentrations of the aqueous plant extract were tested for maltase inhibitory activity using crude yeast maltase enzyme. &lt;strong&gt;Statistical Analysis:&lt;/strong&gt; Unpaired, two tailed &lt;em&gt;t&lt;/em&gt;-test was used to detect the significant difference between the mean maltase enzyme activity of the control and that of the test. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt; exhibited a higher potent maltase inhibitory activity with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 1.05% as compared to that of the aqueous extract of &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 2.13%. Acarbose showed the highest potency of maltase inhibition with an IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; value of 0.014%. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Z. officinale&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;T. foenum-graecum&lt;/em&gt; have significant maltase inhibitory activity (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt;0.05). Thus, a contributing factor to the antidiabetic property of the two plants may be attributed to their maltase inhibitory activity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">226</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janhavi Jatin Damani, Radiya Pacha-Gupta, Nandita Mangalore &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
