草藥可以治療肥胖和心髒病

Recently, scientists from Germany have discovered that extracts of a traditional herbal remedy from Tabebuia impetiginosa can act to delay the absorption of dietary fat in animal models.最近，來自德國的科學家發現，黑斑病菌（Tabebuia impetiginosa）的傳統草藥的提取物可以延緩動物模型中膳食脂肪的吸收。 And they believe that the extract could be incorporated into a food supplement which may not only reduce obesity, but also lessen the risk of development of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease.他們認為，該提取物可以摻入食品中，不僅可以減輕肥胖症，而且可以降低罹患XNUMX型糖尿病和冠心病的風險。 
According to the scientists, the extract may have a potential use in treating obesity.根據科學家的說法，該提取物可能具有治療肥胖的潛在用途。 However, they believe a food-supplement based on Tabebuia could reduce the incidence of these diseases as well, because coronary heart disease and diabetes have also been shown to be related to higher triglyceride levels after eating.但是，他們認為，以Tabebuia為基礎的食品補充劑也可以降低這些疾病的發生率，因為已經證明冠心病和糖尿病與進食後甘油三酯水平升高有關。 What is more, as obesity in developing countries is also on the increase, such extracts, taken as a capsule or added to food, may be a cheaper alternative for the rural population to pharmaceuticals.而且，由於發展中國家的肥胖症也在增加，因此，作為膠囊或添加到食品中的這種提取物對於農村人口而言可能是一種較便宜的替代藥物。
