The efficacy and function of Kunbu

Laminaria, also known as black vegetables, goosefoot vegetables, five palm vegetables, etc., is the dried thallus of Laminaria or Laminaria (goosefoot vegetables) of Laminariaceae plants. It has the effect of eliminating phlegm and softening hard, diuresis and swelling, and has a good therapeutic effect on gall, scrofula, testicular swelling and pain, phlegm and edema, etc. Let's take a look at the efficacy and function of Laminaria.

Medicinal effects of kelp

[Nature] Salty taste, cold nature, non-toxic.

Liver, stomach and kidney meridians.

[Efficacy] Eliminate phlegm and soften hard masses, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, cure scrofula, gall tumor, choking diaphragm, testicular swelling and pain, phlegm edema.

Pharmacological effects of kelp

1, the role of thyroid: kelp can be used to correct iodine deficiency caused by thyroid insufficiency, but also temporarily inhibit the metabolic rate of hyperthyroidism and alleviate symptoms, but can not last, can be prepared before surgery. After iodide enters the tissue and blood, it can also promote the absorption of pathological products such as inflammatory exudates, and can make pathological tissues collapse and dissolve, so it is generally not used for active tuberculosis.

2. Hypotensive effect: Laminine has hypotensive effect. Laminine monocitrate can make blood pressure drop temporarily when injected intravenously in anesthetized rabbits. This effect is not blocked by atropine and does not affect the pressor response caused by occlusion of bilateral common carotid artery or injection of noradrenaline. In vivo and in vitro, it can inhibit heart beat amplitude, but does not affect heart beat frequency.

3. Hypoglycemic effect: 30 ml/kg of brown starch contained in kelp has obvious hypoglycemic effect on normal mice. When the dose reaches 100 mg/kg, the blood sugar is reduced by 49% after 7 hours. Sodium alginate hypoglycemic effect is poor, gavage invalid, 100 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection only has a significant hypoglycemic effect, dose of 300 mg/kg, 7 hours blood sugar can be reduced by 38%. In the treatment of tetraazapyrimidine induced hyperglycemia, 300 mg/kg alginic starch was administered intragastrically. After 24 hours, the blood glucose decreased by 61%. 300 mg/kg sodium alginate was injected intraperitoneally. The blood glucose decreased by 39%.

4. Hypolipidemic and anticoagulant effects: Laminaria polysaccharide can obviously inhibit the increase of serum total cholesterol and triglyceride content in hyperlipidemia chickens and reduce the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaques in chicken aorta. Laminaria polysaccharide has anticoagulant effect both in vivo and in vitro. Because many patients with coronary heart disease in addition to hyperlipidemia, the blood is often in a state of hypercoagulability. Therefore, laminaria polysaccharide has the effect of lowering blood lipid and anticoagulation at the same time, which has certain clinical significance.

5. Anti-radiation effect: laminarin can obviously improve the survival rate of 900 rad irradiated mice after one injection, and the survival rate increases with the increase of dosage, and can significantly protect the hematopoietic tissues of irradiated animals. Therefore, laminaria polysaccharide may have practical significance in preventing hematopoietic tissue damage caused by radiotherapy, stimulating hematopoietic recovery and enhancing immune function of cancer patients combined with radiotherapy.

6. Other functions: Seaweed kelp fluid extract has protective effect on rabbits infected with schistosomiasis cercariae (decoction is invalid). After oral administration of the fluid extract (2g/kg) for 90 days, the residual number of Schistosoma japonicum in rabbits was significantly reduced compared with that in the control group, especially the liver lesions were far less than that in the control group, the normal structure was roughly preserved, only a few egg nodules were formed, and the surrounding fibrosis was not significant, especially the newborn eggs were difficult to find. Mice oral seaweed, kelp and scorpion, centipede, etc. compound (Huaai Dan) decoction, Ehrlich ascites cancer has an inhibitory effect. Laminin had no effect on IRE(ascites type) of reticular sarcoma in rats.
