Chalef
Elaeagnus angustifolia · Oleaster
Elaeagnus angustifolia, commonly known as oleaster or silverberry, is a deciduous shrub native to Europe and Asia. While its traditional use in medicine has not been extensively documented, it has shown promise in various studies. A study characterized the chloroplast genome of Elaeagnus oxycarpa, providing insights into its genetic structure. In another study, oral capsules containing E. angustifolia fruit extract were found to potentially reduce postpartum afterpains in some women compared to placebo. Additionally, extracts from young leaves demonstrated potential anti-obesity effects by reducing lipid accumulation in adipocytes and showed promise in alleviating cognitive impairment associated with hepatic fibrosis by modulating the gut-liver-brain axis. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been noted for Elaeagnus angustifolia to date.

Ce que dit la science
- L'étude a caractérisé le gène chloroplastique d'Elaeagnus oxycarpa, révélant sa structure quadripartite typique et fournissant des marqueurs moléculaires précieux.
- L'EAP a amélioré la mémoire spatiale et a modulé l'axe rein foie cerveau chez les souris nourries avec HFFD.
- Les extraits aquatiques des jeunes feuilles d'Elaeagnus angustifolia ont montré des effets antilipogéniques en réduisant l'accumulation de lipides dans les adipocytes.
- L'étude a montré que les gélules orales contenant un extrait de fruits d'E. angustifolia ont réduit efficacement l'intensité et la qualité des douleurs post-partum chez certaines femmes par rapport au placebo.
- E. angustifolia a montré une tolérance améliorée à la sécheresse grâce à de la plasticité structurelle, un usage efficace des nutriments, un ajustement osmotique et une capacité antioxydante maintenue par rapport à P. euphratica et X. sorbifolium.
