Annual Devilthorn
Tribulus terrestris
Tribulus terrestris is a plant commonly found in warm and temperate regions around the world. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it is sometimes used in alternative medicine for various conditions such as male sexual dysfunction and female reproductive health issues. Scientific evidence is limited but suggests potential benefits, particularly in reducing hormonal and oxidative markers in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rats. A case report highlights the risk of Tribulus terrestris causing acute kidney injury, underscoring the need for medical supervision during its use. Additionally, studies indicate that extracts from this plant may have antimicrobial properties and accelerate wound healing in animal models, with identified compounds suggesting possible involvement in ischemic stroke-related processes. Notably, no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded to date.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Dieses Fallbericht hebt den potenziellen Risikofaktor des Tribulus terrestris hervor, bei dem eine akute Nierenschwäche auftreten kann, und betont die Notwendigkeit einer medizinischen Überwachung während der Nutzung von Pflanzenmedikamenten.
- Die Studie zeigte, dass ein Gel aus grün-synthetisierten silbernen Nanopartikeln mit effektiver antimikrobieller Aktivität und beschleunigter Wundheilung in einem Tiermodell aufwies.
- Der Tribulus terrestris-Extrakt zeigte reduzierte hormonelle und oxidativen Marker bei Ratten mit Polyzystischer Ovarialveränderung, aber zusätzliche menschliche Studien sind notwendig.
- Der Ethanolzweckstoff von Tribulus terrestris zeigte keine unterakute Toxizität und zeigte eine signifikante Antikalkrinnendaktivität bei Ratten.
- Diese Studie identifizierte 67 Verbindungen in dem Tribulus terrestris L. Extrakt und 73 aufgenommene Bestandteile/Metaboliten, vorhersagend eine mögliche Beteiligung des PI3K/AKT-Signalwegs an ischämischen Strokeläufen.
