dc.description.abstract |
Fenugreek has a wide range of medical applications and its medicinal use has been clear in several studies,
however, few studies are available on effects on haematopoietic stem cell of bone marrow. The goal of the
present study was to investigate the effect of Fenugreek on fetal macroscopic diameters and microscopic bone
marrow cell histological changes in its teratogenic dosages. Fenugreek decoction was dissolved in 1.5 milliliter
distilled water and injected intraperitoneumly in three dosages of 0.8 g/kg, 1.6 g/kg, and 3.2 g/kg for three
groups of Wistar female rats mated by Wistar male. For another group (as control group) only 1.5 milliliter
distilled water was injected. Bone marrow tissue was prepared from rat fetus and was cut using a microtome
and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Sections were evaluated for changes using light microscope. LD50 for
the measurement of teratogenic dosage of fenugreek was 4.1 and 3.5 g/kg in female and male rat, respectively. There was a positive relation between the injected drug dosage and fetal mortality rate. Among all fetal diameters, ear to ear diameter was decreased in groups received Fenugreek decoction. The severity of stem cell histological changes caused by 3.2 g/kg drug injection was lower than distilled water injection and in evaluation of other cells, differences in the severity of histological changes across three groups with different drug dosages and control group was detected. Fenugreek in teratogenic dosages can decrease the severity of bone marrow cell proliferation and increase fetal mortality rate. |
