Lupinus albus
Mediterranean grain legume; bitter alkaloids removed for food; seeds used for diabetes and cholesterol.
Lupinus albus (white lupin) is a Mediterranean legume whose seeds are traditionally used for diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Its primary active compounds include quinolizidine alkaloids (lupinine, sparteine), protein, fiber, and isoflavones. Modern evidence suggests potential benefits for glycemic control and lipid reduction, though clinical data remain limited.
The hypoglycemic effect is attributed to lupin protein and fiber, which slow gastric emptying and reduce postprandial glucose absorption, while isoflavones may enhance insulin sensitivity via PPARγ activation. Cholesterol-lowering actions involve increased bile acid excretion and inhibition of hepatic HMG-CoA reductase by alkaloids and fiber. However, quinolizidine alkaloids can also antagonize nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to neurotoxicity at high doses.
