THE EFFECT OF BLACK ELDERBERRY ON THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Öz

Black elderberry, with its Latin name Sambucus nigra, is a plant belonging to the Adoxaceae family that has been used for many years. Among their common names are also black elderberry, black elder, European elder, European elderberry, and European black elderberry. It is also known to be seen as the most healing plant of nature by Hippocrates. Its fruits are dark purple-black in color. 100 grams contains an average of 73 calories and It has a very rich structure in terms of vitamins and minerals. Black elderberry contains many useful compounds in its structure. Among them, the most important are flavonoids, phenolic acids and anth decyanins. The most dominant are anthocyanins, which are known to have antioxidant properties. In addition, black elderberry can cause poisoning due to the cyanogenic glycosides it contains. In order to prevent this, it must be consumed after being exposed to heat treatment. Black elderberry is known to have various effects such as diuretic, laxative, diaphoretic, antioxidant, antiviral, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, antidepressant and anticarcinogenic. It can also be used on diabetes, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, metabolic dysfunctions, urinary parameters. It is known to strengthen the immune system by supporting the regulation of the body’s defense mechanisms in both healthy and sick organisms. Although studies are still insufficient, it is thought that it can also be used for COVID-19. In this review, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer effects and immune system relationship of black elderberry are mentioned.

KARA MÜRVERİN BAĞIŞIKLIK SİSTEMİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Kara mürver, latince ismiyle Sambucus nigra, uzun yıllardır kullanılan Adoxaceae familyasına ait bir bitkidir. Ortak isimleri arasında kara mürver, siyah yaşlı, Avrupa yaşlısı, Avrupa mürveri ve Avrupa kara mürveri de vardır. Hipokrat tarafından doğanın en şifalı bitkisi olarak görüldüğü de bilinmektedir. Meyveleri koyu mor-siyah renktedir. 100 gramı ortalama 73 kalori içerir ve vitamin-mineral açısından oldukça zengin bir yapıya sahiptir. Kara mürver, yapısında birçok faydalı bileşik bulundurmaktadır. Bunlar arasında en önemli olanlar flavonoidler, fenolik asitler ve antosiyaninlerdir. En baskın olanı ise antioksidan özelliği olduğu bilinen antosiyaninlerdir. Bunların yanında kara mürver, içerdiği siyanojenik glikozitlerden kaynaklı olarak zehirlenmeye sebep olabilmektedir. Bunu önleyebilmek için mutlaka ısıl işleme maruz bırakıldıktan sonra tüketilmesi gerekmektedir. Kara mürverin diüretik, laksatif, diyaforetik, antioksidan, antiviral, immünomodülatör, antiinflamatuar, antimikrobiyal, antikonvülsan, antidepresan ve antikarsinojenik gibi çeşitli etkilere sahip olduğu bilinmektedir. Aynı zamanda diyabet, hipertansiyon, obezite, hiperlipidemi, metabolik işlev bozuklukları, üriner parametreler üzerinde de kullanılabilmektedir. Hem sağlıklı hem de hasta organizmalarda vücudun savunma mekanizmalarını düzenlemeye destek olarak bağışıklık sistemini güçlendirdiği bilinmektedir. Henüz çalışmalar yetersiz olsa da COVID-19 için de kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu derlemede kara mürverin antioksidan, antiviral, antibakteriyel, antiinflamatuar, antikanser etkileri ve bağışıklık sistemiyle ilişkisinden bahsedilmiştir.
