“…Mosquite (Prosopis sp) is a widespread legume in arid and semi-arid areas in Mexico, Africa and Asia. This leguminous plant is widely used to feed several livestock species due to its high content of protein, carbohydrates, fiber (Kathirvel and Kumudha 2011), minerals and vitamins (Choge et al, 2007;Freyre et al, 2010). In addition, mesquite pod is a source of food for human consumption as bread (Cattaneo et al, 2016;Cruz, 1999), cakes or porridge (Freyre et al, 2010), syrup and beverages (Cruz, 1986), desserts, and as a coffee substitute (Azevedo et al, 1987), which possesses antioxidant activity (Karim and Azlan, 2012).…”

Mesquite contains high amounts of some phytoestrogens such as the flavanol mesquitol (in concentration of 6.4 µg/g) (Sirmah et al, 2009), flavonols such as quercetin, luteolin, and isoharmnetin, the flavone vitexin (Gianinetto et al, 1975), and isoflavones genistein (60.25 µg/g) and daidzein (5.27 µg/g) (González et al, 2015).…”

The administration of Mesquite pod extract (containing mesquitol, daidzein and genistein) to female and male rats disrupts reproductive variables. However, its effect on fertility is not known. This study evaluated fertility in male and female rats treated with mesquite pod extract, comparing its effects with those of daidzein and estradiol. The following treatments were given for 30 days to groups of female and male rats: vehicle, mesquite pod extract, DAI and E 2 . Treatments were administered subcutaneously for 30 days. These extract disrupted both the female and male sexual behavior in a similar way to DAI, but less than E 2 . Mesquite pod extract increased the number of days in estrus and decreased lordosis intensity during proestrus. Mesquite pod extract-treated males showed lower testicular and glandular weights, as well as decreased sperm motility, viability and count. In females treated with mesquite pod extract, the number of pups was lower than in control females, and 10 to 20% of pups were dead. These effects were similar to those with DAI-treatment. Despite the lower sperm quality, the fertility of mesquite pod extract-and DAI-treated males seem not to be disrupted, as they could impregnate control females. These results show that mesquite pod extract can disrupt female but not male fertility.

“…La vaina de mezquite contiene bajos niveles de aminoácidos como isoleucina y treonina, pero alto contenido en lisina. En cuanto a ácidos grasos insaturados, el ácido linoleico se encuentra en mayor cantidad y, de manera secundaria, el ácido oleico; entre los ácidos grasos saturados el principal es el ácido palmítico (Freyre et al, 2010).…”

Mesquite (Prosopis julilflora) is a legume which is distributed in the arid and semi-arid zones of Mexico and is widely used for feeding various species of livestock and even in human diet due to its high content of proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Mesquite also contains different types of phytoestrogens, which are plant chemical compounds structurally similar to estradiol. This allows their binding with Estrogen receptors (ERs), thus promoting estrogenic effects, which can cause negative effects in the reproduction of several species of mammals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the administration of mesquite pod extract on the reproduction of female and male rats, as well as their repercussions on fertility. Female and male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to one of the following experimental groups: control (CON), mesquite pod extract (MEZ), daidzein (DAI) and estradiol (E2).The treatments were administered subcutaneously for thirty consecutive days. The females receiving MEZ showed an elongation in their estrous cycle, with increase in the number of days in metaestrus and estrus. In contrast, the lordotic quotient and intensity of lordosis decreased due to the effect of MEZ, while the weight of the vagina of females in proestrus and diestrus was greater than control. The height of the uterine and vaginal epithelium during proestrus and diestrus was greater in females treated with MEZ. Conversely, serum progesterone (P4) levels decreased. In the case of the males treated with MEZ, the numbers of ejaculations decreased, and mount latency increased. Male sex glands weight was lower in rats treated with MEZ, and testicular weight, sperm quality and testosterone concentration decreased in this group.
