The hydro-alcoholic extract of the leaves of Prosopis farcta was evaluated for hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities in rats submitted to a high-fat diet. Oral administration of extract of Prosopis farcta leaves resulted in significant amelioration of the altered indices.

Antidiabetic activities (hypoglycaemic, hypolipidaemic and pancreatic beta cells regeneration) of Momordica charantia (MC) fruits were investigated in alloxan diabetic rabbits. Although MC extracts showed significant hypoglycaemic effects (p < 0.05), these did not result in normal glucose and lipid profile levels. Regeneration of pancreatic beta cells by MC extracts was minimal, with fractional improvement produced by glibenclamide.
