薬理学
In pharmacological studies of Egyptian P. hortense (P. sativum), plant extracts
stimulated spontaneous activity of rat uterus and intestine in vitro and lowered blood pressure
and respiratory movements in anaesthetized dogs. Growth of rats was stimulated and uterine weight
was increased by parsley in the diet. The results suggested therapeutic uses of P. hortense as a
laxative, hypotensive, ecbolic and emmenagogue, and promoter of growth (Sharaf et al. 1969).
