There is no doubt that fibers, in particular viscous dietary fibers, have positive effects on human health, both in the prevention and in treatment of chronic diseases. Dietary fibers from psyllium have been used extensively both as pharmacological supplements, food ingredients, in processed food to aid weight control, to regulation of glucose control for diabetic patients and reducing serum lipid levels in hyperlipidemics. Keeping in view, the pharmacological importance of psyllium polysaccharide and its gel-forming nature, this article discusses the therapeutic value of psyllium for the treatment of constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease-ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia and exploitation of psyllium for developing drug delivery systems.
毫无疑问，纤维，尤其是粘性膳食纤维，对人类健康具有积极影响，无论是在预防还是治疗慢性病方面。来自车前草的膳食纤维已被广泛用作药物补充剂、食品成分，用于加工食品中以帮助控制体重、调节糖尿病患者的血糖以及降低高脂血症患者的血脂水平。鉴于车前草多糖的药理重要性及其形成凝胶的性质，本文讨论了车前草在治疗便秘、腹泻、肠易激综合征、炎症性肠病——溃疡性结肠炎、结肠癌、糖尿病和高胆固醇血症方面的治疗价值，以及利用车前草开发药物递送系统。
