The effect of pepper water

There are many foods in life that are helpful to human health, such as fish, chicken, vegetables, and apples. These foods are very effective in supplementing human vitamins, proteins, fats, and amino acids. When conditioning the human body, these foods can also be used as the main food. When choosing food, it must be reasonably matched, which is conducive to the absorption of nutrients by the human body. So what are the effects of pepper water?

What are the effects of pepper water? It has many functions, so when choosing it, you need to have a good understanding of these. When choosing, you can rest assured that it is beneficial to human health.

The function of pepper water:

1. Impact on the digestive system.

1.1. Effect on experimental gastric ulcer: Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract at 5 and 10 g/kg both had significant anti-water immersion stress ulcer formation in mice, while ether extract only had an inhibitory tendency. 10g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract significantly inhibited the ulcer formation in mice induced by indomethacin plus ethanol, but the inhibition rate (22%) was not high. Zanthoxylum bungeanum ether extract 3.0ml/kg significantly inhibited the formation of hydrochloric acid ulcer in rats (P<0.01). 5g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract can significantly inhibit the formation of pyloric ulcer in rats.

1.2. Effects on serum GPT and GOT in rats with acute liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride 5.0 g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract could antagonize the effect of carbon tetrachloride on increasing GPT (P<0.05, and it was dose-dependent), but it had no antagonistic effect on the increase of GOT.

1.3. Effect on drug-induced diarrhea in mice: 3.0 and 6.0 ml/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum extract can counteract castor oil-induced diarrhea in mice. The effect is not only rapid but also long-lasting. The 3.0ml/kg group could also delay the onset of diarrhea by 2 hours (the incidence rates of 1.2 hours in the control group were 5/12 and 11/12, and those in the 3.0ml/kg group of Zanthoxylum bungeanum extract were 0/12 and 5/12, respectively, and P values ​​were all <0.05). 5 or 10 g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract had an effect against senna-induced diarrhea in mice. The effect was slow but lasting (P<0.05). 4. Effect on the gastrointestinal motility of mice: Gavage of 10g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract into mice significantly inhibited the gastrointestinal motility, P<0.05.

2. Effects on experimental thrombosis and coagulation system: Experimental in vivo thrombosis was induced by electrical stimulation of the arterial wall of rats, and its effect on coagulation function was simultaneously measured. The experimental results show that the water extract of Zanthoxylum bungeanum at a dose of 10-20g/kg and the ether extract of Zanthoxylum bungeanum at a dose of 0.3ml/kg have a significant inhibitory effect on thrombosis in rats (P<0.01 and P<0.001=, and can significantly prolong the time of experimental thrombosis, suggesting that it has a preventive effect on thrombosis. The water extract of Zanthoxylum bungeanum at a dose of 10g/kg and the ether extract of 0.15-0.3ml/kg have a certain anticoagulant effect, and the anticoagulant effect of the water extract is stronger than that of the ether extract. The antithrombotic and anticoagulant effects of Zanthoxylum bungeanum may be related to the anticoagulant components of vascular endothelial cells in platelet function, because the water extract of Zanthoxylum bungeanum has a significant inhibitory effect on ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation, and the inhibition rates are 50.4% and 88.3%, respectively. The bergamot lactone contained in this product has a certain anticoagulant and hemostatic effect against heparin.

3. Analgesic effect: 5-10g/kg of Zanthoxylum bungeanum water extract and 3.0-6.0ml/kg of ether extract had a significant inhibitory effect on the writhing reaction of mice induced by acetic acid. The P values ​​of water extract were all <0.05, ether extract 3.0ml/kg (P<0.05), and ether extract 6.0ml/kg (P<0.01). The effect of ether extract was stronger than that of water extract and was dose-dependent.

4. Antibacterial effect: The volatile oil of this product has a certain inhibitory and killing effect on 11 dermatophytes and 4 deep fungi, among which Microsporum woolly and Trichophyton rubrum are the most sensitive, with MIC lower than 0.1HL/ml and MFC of 0.1HL/ml. Experiments have confirmed that laurocapram and dimethyl sulfoxide can promote the entry of volatile oils into fungal cells and accelerate cell death.

5. Anti-insect effect: The volatile oil contained in Sichuan pepper can cause serious poisoning of pig ascaris in warm Ren's solution.

6. Other effects: The artemisinin contained in this product has ephedrine-like effects, but the intensity is weaker. It can increase the blood pressure of anesthetized cats, enhance the contraction of nictitating membranes, strengthen the effects of adrenaline on blood pressure and uterus, enhance the contraction of the uterus in situ of cats or rabbits, inhibit small intestinal contraction and dilate coronary blood vessels, increase skeletal muscle tension, and enhance the excitability of spinal cord reflexes. It has strong antibacterial effect.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the effects of pepper water, and we can use it with confidence when choosing it. However, it should be noted that when using such things, we must use them in moderation. Excessive use will cause some damage to the human body in all aspects, so this is also something we must keep in mind.
