药食两用中药鸡内金的研究概况

The Overview of Galli gigerii endothelium Corneum,an Edible Traditional Chinese Medicine

鸡内金来源于雉科动物家鸡(Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson)的干燥沙囊内壁,是一味具有悠久应用历史的药食两用中药品种。鸡内金的营养成分主要包括蛋白质、多糖、氨基酸和微量元素,具有抗氧化、改善血糖、血脂水平和血液流变学参数以及改善肠胃功能等多种生物活性。笔者在查阅国内外文献的基础上,对鸡内金的传统应用、化学组成、药理活性等方面的研究概况进行归纳和总结,为其资源的综合利用与开发提供参考。

Galli gigerii endothelium corneum is collected from the dried inner wall of the stomach of Callus gallus domesticus Brisson and it is used for a long history as an edible traditional Chinese medicine. Galli gigerii endothelium corneum contains rich nutrient com- ponents such as proteins, polysaccharides, animo acids, and trace elements, and displayed various bioactivities including anti-oxida-tive effect, improving the level of blood glucose and lipid, as well as hemorheological parameters and gastrointestinal function. Based on the published literatures in the recent years, the advance in the research on the traditional use, chemical constituents, pharmacolog- ical activities of Galli gigerii endothelium corneum was summarized, which can provide the scientific basis for the further research and development of Galli gigerii endothelium corneum.
