AKT1, PTGS2, MAPK1, TP53 and IL‐6 interacted with most of the potential pathways, including cancer pathways, the AGE‐RAGE signalling pathway, the FoxO signalling pathway, the HIF‐1 signalling pathway, the NF‐κB signalling pathway and lipids and atherosclerosis, which suggests that these genes might play a key role in the anti‐diabetic effects of fenugreek. The gene discussed is NFKB1; the disease is cancer.
