Effects of Prosopis farcta fruit Hydroalcoholic Extract on Serum Concentrations of Glucose and Lipids in Insulin Resistance Model of Rats

“…One of phenomenon of type 2 diabetes is insulin insensitivity which has negative metabolic consequences [5,7] and contributes subsequent pancreas β-cell exhaustion, resulting in the onset of clinical hyperglycemia. It has been reported that flavonoids has a role in regeneration of the injured pancreatic β-cells in diabetic models [25] and thus may prevent insulin resistance.…”

“…Environmental pollutants, side effects of drug metabolism, smoking, alcohol, inadequate nutrition, and excess solar radiation are known sources for ROS during diabetes [4] which, in turn, increase dyslipidemia.
