Research Progress of Heye(Nelumbinis Folium)and Its Active Components in the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome(MS)is a pathological state co-existing with several risk factors of cardiovascular diseases,including atherosclerosis,insulin resistance,abdominal obesity,dyslipidemia,etc.The pathogenesis and influencing factors of metabolic syndrome are extremely complex due to the simultaneous occurrence of several interrelated abnormalities.Currently,there are no specific targeted therapeutic drugs for MS.More and more research has focused on the benefits of traditional Chinese medicines and their pharmacological effects on metabolic syndrome.Heye(Nelumbinis Folium)is a kind of food for both medicine and food,which has great development value.The active ingredients rich in flavonoids,alkaloids,polysaccharides and other active ingredients not only have the functions of weight loss,lipid reduction,anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,blood sugar reduction and cardiovascular protection,but also can prevent and treat metabolic syndrome by regulating intestinal flora,which has potential research value.This article reviewed the effects of Heye(Nelumbinis Folium)and its main active components on different components of metabolic syndrome,such as obesity,insulin resistance,hyperlipidemia,cardiovascular disease,etc.,in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment of metabolic syndrome and development of functional products of lotus leaf.
