Resumo
Edible plants contain essential metals, vitamins, carbohydrates and
other nutrientes that are essential for growth of the human body and to
provide sufficient energy for its biochemical and physiological
performance. However, some edible plants contain phytocompounds
that change the functioning of the central nervous system and vascular
functions, even when ingested in quantities, insufficient to cause
visible signs or symptoms in the short or medium term. The objective
of this work was to investigate data related to compounds in edible
plants that influence the functioning of the nervous and cardiovascular
system. Open free databases were consulted searching on edible plants
and its derivatives that present activity on nervous and cardiovascular
functions. Methylxanthines, tryptamines, tropanes, phenylethylamines,
ergot alkaloids and the compounds capsaycin, safrole, myristin,
cathinone, dioscorine, glyrrhizin and thujone were considered in this
review. Phytocompounds in edible plants can increase symptoms such as fatigue, headaches,
irritability, depression or anxiety and/or cardiovascular disturbes in susceptible individuals.
The detection of these phytocompounds or its metabolites in urine by HPLC or other high-
efficiency chromatographic methods increase the efficiency of the diagnosis of health disorders in these susceptible individuals.
