Abstract

The areca nut, commonly known as betel nut, has been the subject of consistent scientific study over the past 5 decades. Betel nut is a natural compound chewed for its psychostimulating effects. Arecoline, the primary alkaloid of betel nut, is a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonist producing cholinergic effects on the parasympathetic nervous system and a psychoactive agent, contributing to the psycho-stimulating effects. Importantly the betel nut use is also associated with oral leucoplakia, submucous fibrosis, and squamous cell carcinoma. This narrative review explores the past, present, and future aspects of betel nut use, its historical applications, the development of biomarkers research, its health value concerns, and health economic impacts.
槟榔和槟榔碱:过去,现在和未来的趋势
槟榔,俗称槟榔,在过去的50年里一直是科学研究的主题。槟榔是一种天然的化合物,咀嚼它的精神刺激作用。槟榔碱是槟榔的主要生物碱,是一种毒蕈碱类乙酰胆碱受体激动剂,对副交感神经系统产生胆碱能作用,也是一种精神活性物质,有助于精神刺激作用。重要的是,槟榔的使用也与口腔白斑、粘膜下纤维化和鳞状细胞癌有关。这篇叙述性综述探讨了槟榔使用的过去、现在和未来方面,它的历史应用,生物标志物研究的发展,它的健康价值问题,以及健康经济影响。
