A comprehensive online search on different actions of diosgenin and dioscorea itself (18 research and 5 reviews), for hyperactivity of cholesterol as well as lipid metabolism in different patho-physiological fields (14 research and 17 reviews), along with other related articles have been assessed by using PubMed and other sources and appraised according to their research outcome.
