     Excerpt Prosopis juliflora gained importance in managing chronic diseases such as cancer, dermatological diseases, a& chronic inflammatory disorders. Methods: Experimentally, diabetes was induced by a single administration of streptozotocin at 50 mg/kg intra-peritoneally in Wistar rats.

   • According to Jangid R (2022)

     Excerpt the prime aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant & anti-diabetic properties (at the in-vitro level) of ethanolic extracts of Prosopis species abundantly available in Rajasthan & are being used by the traditional medicine system to cure several ailments. Apart from these assays, other quantitative evaluations of the Prosopis species have also been done, including GCMS & FTIR analysis.
