杜仲皮和杜仲叶为常用中药材,杜仲雄花和杜仲籽油为新资源食品,杜仲全身是宝,具有多种药理活性。近年来,有关学者对杜仲的药理与毒理学进行了系统研究。药理研究表明,杜仲具有保护心血管(双向调节血压、降血脂、保护心血管内皮细胞)、调节机体代谢(降血糖、预防肥胖)、增强免疫、延缓衰老等作用。河南大学的最新研究表明,杜仲中分离出的成分京尼平苷酸能使秀丽隐杆线虫的平均寿命提高15%,其延缓机体衰老的机制与其抗氧化作用和提高肌肉活动能力等机制密切相关。毒理研究证明,杜仲皮、杜仲叶、杜仲雄花、杜仲籽油(杜仲亚麻酸油)安全无毒,具有广阔的开发前景。临床常用于补肝肾,强筋骨,抗骨质疏松;调节血压,降低体内脂肪,保护肝损伤等方面。目前,已经开发出杜仲系列茶、杜仲软胶囊、杜仲糖果、杜仲酒、杜仲面条等具有抗疲劳、延缓衰老、增强免疫力作用的保健品;而且杜仲在食用油、化妆品、功能饲料、医用化工原料等方面也具有广阔的开发与应用前景。不断开拓杜仲在医疗保健及功能性食品等方面的应用新途径,对改善国民身体素质,全面支撑我国杜仲健康产业可持续发展,助力健康中国具有十分重要的意义。
<<The bark and leaf of Eucommia ulmoidesare commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine,the male flower and seed oil of E. ulmoidesare new food resources. The pharmacology and toxicology of E. ulmoideswere systematically studied in recent years,the results showed that it can help reduce blood pressure,regulate blood lipids,protect cardiovascular,enhance immunity,etc. The latest research of Henan university indicated that geniposidic acid could increase the average life expectancy of C. elegansby 15%,and the mechanism of delaying the aging is closely related to its antioxidant effect. Toxicology research revealed the bark,leaf,male flower and seed oil(linolenic acid oil)of E. ulmoideswere all non-toxic. As high quality drug,it can strengthen bone,maintain healthy blood pressure,lower body fat,etc;as important healthcare products,it can reduces fatigue,enhance immunity,etc,and seed oil capsule,wine,staminate tea,noodles and other products of E. ulmoideshave been developed;it also has a broad development and application prospects in the field of edible oil,functional feed,cosmetics,etc. It is of great significance for the improvement of national physical quality and the support of healthy Chinese construction to innovate the application of E. ulmoideshealth care and functional feed.
