Function of Artichoke Extract

Treatment of dyspepsia
In Europe, artichokes have been used as a herbal remedy for indigestion. Artichoke extract is used to treat gastrointestinal diseases including abdominal pain, abdominal distension, nausea and so on.
Reducing blood lipid and anti arteriosclerosis
Many experiments have shown that artichoke extract can reduce blood lipids, mainly by affecting the synthesis and decomposition of cholesterol and lipids in the liver to regulate the lipid level, so as to prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis.
Artichoke raw materials
Liver protection and antioxidant function
The research on antioxidant function of artichoke mostly focuses on leaf extract. The antioxidant capacity of polyphenol compounds isolated from artichoke was found to be mainly determined by the number of hydroxyl groups on the aromatic ring. The more hydroxyl groups, the stronger the antioxidant capacity. In addition, the second hydroxyl group in ortho and para position can also increase its antioxidant capacity. The results showed that the EC50 values of 1 g dried artichoke extract on DPPH and FRAP were equivalent to 29.2 mg and 62.6 mg VC, 77.9 mg and 159 mg VE, respectively, and had a good effect on the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein.
Artichoke leaf extract process
The antioxidant test results of rat hepatocytes in vitro showed that 0.001 mg / ml aqueous extract could reduce the content of MDA and did not affect the level of glutathione (GSH) in hepatocytes. On the contrary, it reduced the loss of GSH and GSSG. It shows that artichoke extract has strong antioxidant effect. Therefore, it is inferred that the antioxidant effect of the extract is the main reason for its liver protection and liver regeneration.
Anti microbial effect
The antimicrobial activities of chlorogenic acid, artichoke acid, luteolin-7-rutoside and artichoke glycoside in artichoke were relatively high, and the antifungal activity was stronger than that of bacteria.
