1, Effect on gastric acid: Amygdalin can be hydrolyzed by gastric acid or emulsin to produce hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde, and benzaldehyde can inhibit the digestive function of pepsin. Taking a small amount of almonds, it slowly hydrolyzes in the body and gradually produces a small amount of hydrocyanic acid, which does not cause poisoning, but has the effect of calming the respiratory center, so it can make the respiratory movement tend to be quiet and show the effect of relieving cough and asthma.
2, the role of lowering blood pressure. It can make the breathing movement tend to be quiet and play the role of relieving cough and asthma. Directly applied to normal skin can produce local anesthesia (such as relieving itching, etc.).
3. Anti-cancer effect: Amygdalus bitter almond extract has obvious inhibitory effect on transplanted liver cancer in mice by gavage 100mg and 200mg/kg for 0 day.
4. Promoting the synthesis of pulmonary surfactant: Bitter almond can promote the synthesis of pulmonary surfactant in normal animals, but it can not only promote the synthesis of pulmonary surfactant in oleic acid RDS experimental animals, but also improve the pathological changes.
5. Other effects: Amygdalin has antimutagenic effect and can prevent and treat diabetes caused by antineoplastic drug urea. In addition, bitter almond oil (that is, bitter almond oil) has anthelmintic and bactericidal effects. In vitro test can kill human ascaris lumbricoides, earthworms, etc., and can kill typhoid and paratyphoid bacilli. Clinical application is effective for ascaris lumbricoides, hookworms and pinworms without side effects.
Extended data:
Scientists in a hospital in Turin, Italy, observed that men who regularly eat almonds have high sperm quantity and quality, but it is best not to eat more than 7 per day.
In order to verify whether almonds can improve male fertility, scientists invited 100 male volunteers to participate in the study, and all volunteers were being treated for infertility.
In the experiment, the researchers asked the first group of volunteers to eat seven nuts a day in addition to the normal diet. The second group of volunteers needed to reduce the saturated fatty acids in their diet and limit their consumption of meat and dairy products.
The results showed that the diets of the two groups of volunteers had a positive impact on the treatment of infertility, and almonds played a positive role in male fertility.
