This study aimed to investigate the effects of ethyl acetate Prosopis farcta extracts on some complications associated with diabetes in rats. The experimental rats of 1.5-2 months old that weighed 190-220 g were randomly divided into six groups of seven animals each. Body weight, serum glucose, hematological changes and lipid profiles were studied. Alloxan was used of induction diabetes in rats. 252 rats were used and different doses of the ethyl acetate extracts of roots, fruits, and leaves of P. farcta were orally administered daily for 28 days for normal and diabetic rats and the effective dose was 200 mg/kg BW for each kind of extracts. The results showed that administration of root, leaves and fruit extracts of P. farcta caused improvement in body weight, blood glucose, red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), hematocrit (HCT or PCV) in alloxan diabetic rats in insulin like treatment manner, with the most effective improving effect for roots extract. Regarding to the effects on total and differential white blood cell (WBC) count, administration of extracts caused decrease in the total WBC and neutrophil count. Administration of root, leaves and fruit extracts of P. farcta, showed suppression in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and increasing in high density lipoprotein (HDL-C) of alloxan diabetic rats. In conclusion, the P. farcta extracts possesses properties of improving some health complications accompanied diabetes in rats.

“…In another study, the blood samples of 10 blue-neck male ostriches (Struthio camelus) fed with P. farcta beans were collected from days 0 and 30 to investigate HDL, LDL, triglyceride, total serum protein, albumin, globulin, TC, calcium, inorganic phosphorus, activity of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and γ-glutamyl transferase levels. From days 0 to 30, HDL, total protein, and globulins levels significantly enhanced, whereas LDL, inorganic phosphorus, and γ-GT activity were significantly reduced [92].…”

Members of the Prosopis genus are native to America, Africa and Asia, and have long been used in traditional medicine. The Prosopis species most commonly used for medicinal purposes are P. africana, P. alba, P. cineraria, P. farcta, P. glandulosa, P. juliflora, P. nigra, P. ruscifolia and P. spicigera, which are highly effective in asthma, birth/postpartum pains, callouses, conjunctivitis, diabetes, diarrhea, expectorant, fever, flu, lactation, liver infection, malaria, otitis, pains, pediculosis, rheumatism, scabies, skin inflammations, spasm, stomach ache, bladder and pancreas stone removal. Flour, syrup, and beverages from Prosopis pods have also been potentially used for foods and food supplement formulation in many regions of the world. In addition, various in vitro and in vivo studies have revealed interesting antiplasmodial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic and wound healing effects. The phytochemical composition of Prosopis plants, namely their content of C-glycosyl flavones (such as schaftoside, isoschaftoside, vicenin II, vitexin and isovitexin) has been increasingly correlated with the observed biological effects. Thus, given the literature reports, Prosopis plants have positive impact on the human diet and general health. In this sense, the present review provides an in-depth overview of the literature data regarding Prosopis plants’ chemical composition, pharmacological and food applications, covering from pre-clinical data to upcoming clinical studies.

En este trabajo se proporciona información de los usos medicinales atribuidos a Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. por habitantes de cinco localidades rurales de la Peninsula Paraguaná (Estado Falcon, Venezuela). Se realizaron entrevistas semi-estructuradas a 51 informantes, de entre 23 y 86 años de edad, naturales de la península de Paraguaná. Todos los entrevistados atribuyeron alguna propiedad curativa a hojas, frutos y/o tallos de P. juliflora. Los mayores porcentajes de uso medicinal de la especie se refirieron a patologías traumatológicas, oftalmológicas y de la función sexual masculina. Algunos otros usos medicinales reportados en menor proporción incluyen tratamientos para la diabetes, enfermedades del sistema digestivo, parasitosis, enfermedades eruptivas, coadyuvante en casos de malestar general, cálculos renales y cáncer. Los resultados constituyen la primera compilación de usos medicinales de P. juliflora en Venezuela, y permiten establecer bases para el desarrollo de investigaciones tendientes a la determinación de su prospección bioquímica y farmacológica.
