Sicyos edulis

Sicyos edulis，也称为查约特或米里洛顿，是一种原产于墨西哥和中美洲的植物。尽管它在各种烹饪应用中传统上被使用，但没有特定的传统医学用途被记录下来。科学证据表明，Sicyos edulis 的叶绿体基因组结构与 Sicyos angulatus 相似，暗示着两者之间存在密切的遗传关系。一项关于 Sicyos edulis 生物活性化合物的研究发现其浓度适中，但没有将其列为与其他物种相比对抗代谢综合征最有效的食物。该植物已与研究相关联，在这些研究中涉及使用它来稳定用于持续释放目的的精油乳液，尽管没有显著的传统医学用途或强有力的科学证据支持特定健康声明。关于 Sicyos edulis 的安全性和药物相互作用问题尚未记录，表明在预期用途下通常不会引起重大问题。
