Product Profile
Tribulus terrestris extract is a product extracted from the fruit or whole plant of Tribulusters L.
Function and effect
1. Effect on cardiovascular system
Anti-arteriosclerosis and anti-platelet aggregation: The crude saponin preparation of Tribulus terrestris stems and leaves has a significant vagal effect on the cardiovascular system of cats and rabbits. It can enhance myocardial contractility, slow down the heart rate, dilate coronary arteries and peripheral blood vessels, and shows a moderate decrease in blood pressure. pressure effect.
Lowering cholesterol: Tribulus terrestris extract can significantly reduce cholesterol levels in experimental hypercholesterolemia and inhibit lipid deposition in arteries, myocardium and liver.
Lowering blood pressure: Tribulus terrestris aqueous extract, ethanol-water extract and 30% ethanol extract have a hypotensive effect on anesthetized animals. The alkaloid part has no effect on dog blood pressure, but can inhibit frog heart. The water-soluble part has a moderate antihypertensive effect.
Anti-myocardial ischemia: Saponins still have obvious anti-cardiac ischemia effects. Cardioprotective effect: Tribulus terrestris extract can significantly reduce the damage to rat myocardial mitochondria caused by ADR and has a protective effect against ADR cardiotoxicity.
2. Strengthening and anti-aging effects
Tribulus terrestris extract has a significant protective effect on mice subjected to stress stimuli such as high temperature, low temperature, hypoxia and swimming. It can significantly reduce the VC content in the adrenal glands of rats, inhibit the "exhaustion" phenomenon caused by large doses of hydrocortisone, and play a protective role in the decrease in VC content caused by ACTH. After removal of both adrenal glands in mice, their hypoxia-tolerant effect no longer reappears. These effects may be related to adrenocortical function.
3. Anti-inflammatory and anti-fatigue effects
Tribulus terrestris extract has a significant inhibitory effect on the swelling of mouse ear shells caused by xylene. There are significant differences in prolonging the survival time of mice under hypoxia and the swimming time of mice under weight-bearing conditions compared with the control group. Conclusion Tribulus terrestris extract has certain anti-inflammatory, hypoxia-resistant and anti-fatigue effects. The extract can prolong the time of one exhaustive exercise in endurance exercise rats.
4. Sexual enhancement effect
Orally administered to rats, Tribulus terrestris extract can significantly stimulate sperm formation, stimulate Sertoli cell activity, and increase sexual desire. Another new preparation, Tribestan, extracted from crude saponins of Tribulus terrestris stems and leaves, can significantly stimulate sperm formation, stimulate Sertoli cell activity, and increase sexual desire when administered orally to male rats; it can promote estrus when administered to female rats. Improve fertility.
5. Diuretic effect
Tribulus is used as a diuretic in Indian folklore. In the saline-loaded rat test, the diuretic effect of the aqueous extract of the ash and the plant decoction was not ideal.
6. Other functions
Tribulus terrestris alkaloids and their water-soluble fractions can inhibit the movement of the small intestine in rats and antagonize acetylcholine. Plant extracts can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Tribulus terrestris alcohol extract has a relaxing effect on the duodenum of rabbits.
Application
Medical and health care products, health nutrition products, infant food, solid beverages, dairy products, convenience foods, puffed foods, condiments, middle-aged and elderly foods, baked goods, snack foods, cold foods and cold drinks, etc.
