Indian tamarind
Tamarindus indica
Tamarindus indica，通常被称为番石榴树，是非洲热带和亚热带地区的原生植物，但在亚洲、南美洲和加勒比海地区广泛种植。传统上，其药用用途并未得到充分记录；然而，据指出，在坦桑尼亚，有97种豆科（Fabaceae）物种，包括T. indica，传统用于治疗人类疾病。科学证据表明，番石榴根际的微生物门与嫁接条件之间存在显著相关性，但诸如根株基因型等潜在混杂因素无法完全排除。此外，一种含有番石榴的上市草本配方通过调节BDNF、胰岛素和炎症通路，在糖尿病大鼠中改善了认知表现。通过多种分析技术鉴定出的挥发性化合物提供了植物芳香特性的全面概况。安全记录显示，T. indica未出现重大问题，目前也没有报告与其使用相关的药物相互作用。

科学怎么说
- 在嫁接条件下，一些微生物门在根际与无花果性状之间发现了显著的相关性，但砧木基因型的潜在影响无法排除。
- 研究发现，有97种豆科植物，包括非洲象脚树（Tamarindus indica），在坦桑尼亚传统上被用来治疗人类疾病。
- 市场上销售的草药制剂Diabecon通过调节BDNF、胰岛素和炎症途径，改善了糖尿病大鼠的认知功能。
- DMU-SPME 检测到比HS-SPME或SAFE更多的挥发性化合物，提供了木豆的全面挥发性轮廓。
- 该综述表明，木豆含有多种营养素和生物活性化合物，具有潜在的健康益处，但人类临床数据有限。
