背景:大麦,通常被称为大麦草,是一种具有历史意义的栽培植物,对社会有着深远的影响,农业科学,和人类营养。它因其营养和潜在的药用特性而受到重视。
目的:本研究旨在全面调查大麦的药用特性,专注于其潜在的治疗益处和抗炎特性。此外,我们试图量化和比较两种不同提取物的植物化学含量:大麦草己烷提取物(BGHE)和大麦草水性提取物(BGAQ)。
方法:我们定量了BGHE和BGAQ的植物化学物质含量,并使用560nm的紫外光谱评估了它们的抗炎作用,再加上红细胞膜稳定技术。随后,我们进行了计算机研究,以评估大麦草叶提取物的体外抗炎潜力。
结果:与对照组相比,BGHE和BGAQ均显示出对炎症的显着抑制作用。然而,与BGAQ相比,BGHE表现出优异的抗炎功效,提示其作为一种潜在的抗炎药的作用。计算机研究进一步支持大麦草叶提取物的抗炎潜力。
结论:大麦,或者大麦草,提供了丰富的健康益处,包括消炎药,抗糖尿病,抗癌,抗氧化剂,抗痤疮,和抗抑郁特性。这些特性有助于提高免疫力,减少心血管疾病,和减轻疲劳。不同的提取物,BGHE和BGAQ,两者都表现出有希望的抗炎能力,但BGHE显示更好的抗炎活性。这项研究揭示了大麦草的治疗潜力,使其成为天然药物领域进一步探索的有价值的候选者。
BACKGROUND: Hordeum vulgare, commonly known as Barley grass, is a historically significant cultivated plant with profound implications for societies, agricultural sciences, and human nutrition. It has been valued for both sustenance and its potential medicinal properties.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to comprehensively investigate the medicinal properties of Hordeum vulgare, focusing on its potential therapeutic benefits and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, we seek to quantify and compare the phytochemical content of two distinct extracts: Barley Grass Hexane Extract (BGHE) and Barley grass aqueous extract (BGAQ).
METHODS: We quantified the phytochemical contents of BGHE and BGAQ and evaluated their anti-inflammatory effects using UV spectroscopy at 560 nm, coupled with the RBC membrane stabilization technique. Subsequently, we conducted in silico studies to assess the in vitro anti-inflammatory potential of Barley grass leaf extracts.
RESULTS: Both BGHE and BGAQ demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on inflammation compared to the control group. However, BGHE exhibited superior anti-inflammatory efficacy when compared to BGAQ, suggesting its role as a potential anti-inflammatory agent. In silico studies further supported the anti-inflammatory potential of Barley grass leaf extracts.
CONCLUSIONS: Hordeum vulgare, or Barley grass, offers a wealth of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-acne, and anti-depressant properties. These properties contribute to improved immunity, reduced cardiovascular disorders, and alleviation of fatigue. The distinct extracts, BGHE and BGAQ, both exhibit promising anti-inflammatory capabilities, but BGHE shows better anti-inflammatory activity. This research sheds light on the therapeutic potential of Barley grass, making it a valuable candidate for further exploration in the field of natural medicine.
