摘要: |
莲(Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)是莲科莲属(Nelumbo)的多年水生双子叶草本植物,在中国湖北、江苏、安徽、江西、湖南、浙江等地区大量种植。研究表明,莲不同部位含有大量生物活性成分,包括多酚类、生物碱、多糖类、膳食纤维、维生素、氨基酸及多种微量元素。从莲中提取的生物活性成分具有多种生理功能,如抗炎、抗氧化、抗衰老、抗肿瘤、降血糖、降血脂、减肥、护肝、护肾、促进睡眠、免疫调节、治疗阿尔茨海默病、抗病毒、缓解抑郁症等。综述了近年来国内外对莲不同部位的生物活性成分以及其生理功能的最新研究进展,旨在为深入挖掘莲药用价值提供理论参考。 |

Abstract: |
Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. is a perennial aguatic dicotyledonous plant of the genus Nelumbo in the family Nelumbonaceae, widely cultivated in Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Zhejiang and other areas of China. Studies have shown that different parts of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. contain a large amount of bioactive components, including polyphenols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, dietary fiber, vitamins, amino acids, and various trace elements. The extracted bioactive components from lotus have multiple physiological functions, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-tumor, hypoglycemic,lipid-lowering, weight loss, liver and kidney protection, sleep promotion, immune redulation, treating Alzheimer’s disease, antiviral and relieving depression. This paper reviews the recent research progress on the bioactive components of different parts of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. and their physiological functions, both domestically and internationally, aiming at providing theoretical reference for further exploring the medicinal value of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. |
