Background and objectives: Prosopis farcta has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for treating diabetes mellitus.The aim of this study was investigating the antidiabetic mechanisms of infusion extract of P. farcta and discovering the active extract for the first time. Methods: Six different extracts of P. farcta were ...

BACKGROUND The use of herbals in the treatment of diabetes mellitus is a well-established practice in traditional medicine. The medicinal plant Prosopis farcta has some antioxidant activity, which may be useful in diabetic patients. Since, there is no report on the antidiabetic effect of the P. farcta, this study evaluated antidiabetic activity of P. farcta bean extract (PFE) in streptozotocin ...

a study was carried out to evaluate the effects of r. coriaria l. and p. farcta extracts as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in broilers diet. a total of 300 one-day-old male ross 308 chicks were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments (five pen replicates, 15 birds per pen) for the 0- to 28-d period, and all data were analyzed in a randomized complete design. dietary treatment...

Background and Objective: Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal disease. Prosopis farcta has attracted attention for ethnobotany and medical purposes. The present study aimed to investigate the antifungal properties of Prosopis farcta extracts against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (PTCC 5054) and five archived terbinafine resistant clinical isolates of T. mentagrophyte, based on an ethnobotanic...

BACKGROUND Hepatotoxicity by acetaminophen is the most frequent cause of acute liver failure in many countries. Prosopis farcta beans extract (PFE) has some antioxidant property and may alleviate hepatotoxicity. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate effects of PFE against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. METHODS Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats weighing 220 ± 30 g were distr...

Nowadays, green synthesis of metal nanoparticles has become a promising synthetic strategy in nanotechnology and materials sciences. In this research, biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was successfully accomplished in the presence of Prosopis farcta fruit extract as a reducing agent. Proceeding of the reaction was assessed by using UV–vis spectroscopy. Characterization of silver nano...
