Loofah, Plant sponge

Luffa aegyptiaca

Luffa aegyptiaca，又称海绵瓜或中国JKLM，起源于亚洲的传统医学实践。其传统用途记录不多；然而，在一些文化中，它被用于食物和民间疗法等多种目的。科学研究表明，在热应激条件下，11个脂氧合酶基因中有9个显著下调在Luffa aegyptiaca中，这可能暗示潜在的适应性作用。此外，一项研究观察到中国白菜与海绵瓜轮作时出现异常生长，而在生姜轮作后则恢复正常生长。另一项研究优化了微波辅助提取Luffa aegyptiaca粘液的方法，获得了具有潜在抗癌活性和多种物理化学性质的纳米粘液。值得注意的是，这种植物没有记录到主要的安全问题或药物相互作用。
