巴西的一种用于炎症的植物在实验室测试中显示抗关节炎的潜力, A Brazilian plant used for inflammation shows arthritis-fighting potential in lab tests, but human use isn't yet proven.

巴西一家名为Joseph's Coat (Alternanthera literoralis)的植物, 传统上用于炎症和感染, 显示出治疗关节炎的实验室研究前景良好。 A Brazilian plant called Joseph’s Coat (Alternanthera littoralis), traditionally used for inflammation and infections, shows promise in lab studies for treating arthritis. 来自巴西大学的研究人员在动物模型中测试了植物地面部分的乙醇提取物,发现它减少了联合膨胀、保护组织、降低炎症和氧化压力,试验剂量时没有毒性。 Researchers from Brazilian universities tested an ethanolic extract from the plant’s above-ground parts in animal models, finding it reduced joint swelling, protected tissue, and lowered inflammation and oxidative stress with no toxicity at tested doses. 研究结果发表在《生态医学杂志》上,为传统使用提供了早期科学支持,但研究人员强调,研究结果还不适用于人类。 The results, published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, provide early scientific support for its traditional use, but researchers stress that findings are not yet applicable to humans. 活性化合物仍然未查明,需要进一步研究,以确认在任何医疗使用前对人的安全性和有效性。 The active compounds remain unidentified, and further studies are needed to confirm safety and effectiveness in people before any medical use.
