Citrullus lanatus
Cucurbit largement cultivée ; les graines et l'épiderme de la pulpe sont utilisées en médecine pour les troubles rénaux, urinaires et métaboliques.
Watermelon seeds (Citrullus lanatus) are a nutrient-dense food rich in citrulline, arginine, lycopene, and flavonoids, traditionally used in Chinese folk medicine for kidney and urinary disorders. Modern research suggests potential diuretic, antioxidant, and cardiovascular benefits via nitric oxide production, though clinical evidence remains limited (Level C).
Citrulline is converted to arginine in the kidneys, enhancing endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity and increasing nitric oxide (NO) production, which promotes vasodilation and diuresis. Lycopene acts as a potent antioxidant by scavenging singlet oxygen and peroxyl radicals, reducing oxidative stress. Flavonoids may inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, contributing to anti-inflammatory effects. The combination of these compounds supports renal function and cardiovascular health.
