Citrullus lanatus seed
Melon seeds from West Africa used medicinally for hypertension, diabetes, and as protein-rich nutritive food medicine.
Ogiri Igbo (Citrullus lanatus seed) is a West African food medicine rich in linoleic acid, cucurbitacins, citrulline, and arginine, traditionally used for hypertension and diabetes. Modern uses include antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antioxidant support, with evidence limited to preclinical and small human studies.
The antihypertensive effect is attributed to L-citrulline and L-arginine, which enhance nitric oxide production, promoting vasodilation and reducing blood pressure. The antidiabetic action involves upregulation of GLUT4 translocation and insulin sensitivity via flavonoids and cucurbitacins, while antioxidant activity is mediated by flavonoids and tocopherols that scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
