Fertilization and seasonality influence on the photochemical performance of tree legumes in forest plantation for area recovery in the Amazon.
N-fixing leguminous species can reach atmospheric dinitrogen gas (N2), having an advantage under N-limited degraded environments. These N-fixers are constantly used as facilitative species. Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChF) acknowledges how different species take up and use light energy during photosynthesis. These techniques assess stress and performance responses to photosynthesis and are used for the selection of species with potential for reforestation. Six Fabaceae species were selected for this study: three nonfixing species (Cenostigma tocantinum, Senna reticulata and Dipteryx odorata) a

Concurrent use of herbs may mimic, magnify, or oppose the effect of drugs. Plausible cases of herb-drug interactions include: bleeding when warfarin is combined with ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), garlic (Allium sativum), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), or danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza); mild serotonin syndrome in patients who mix St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) with serotonin-reuptake inhibitors; decreased bioavailability of digoxin, theophylline, cyclosporin, and phenprocoumon when these drugs are combined with St John's wort; induction of mania in depressed patients who mix antidepressants and
PubMed: 10675182Is it safe to consume traditional medicinal plants during pregnancy?
The popularity of natural medicine is growing worldwide. Unlike conventional licensed medicines, herbal medicine practices are usually not supported by effectiveness, efficacy, or safety studies, which raise concerns about potential risks involved in their usage, particularly in high-risk patients such as pregnant women where teratogenicity is a concern. Despite a lack of science-based evidence, the use of herbal products for the management of pregnancy-associated challenges is common, due to the common notion that they are free of toxic effects and adverse reactions because they are "natural.
PubMed: 33164294Adverse effects of herbal medicines: an overview of systematic reviews.
This overview of systematic reviews (SRs) aims to evaluate critically the evidence regarding the adverse effects of herbal medicines (HMs). Five electronic databases were searched to identify all relevant SRs, with 50 SRs of 50 different HMs meeting our inclusion criteria. Most had only minor weaknesses in methods. Serious adverse effects were noted only for four HMs: Herbae pulvis standardisatus, Larrea tridentate, Piper methysticum and Cassia senna. The most severe adverse effects were liver or kidney damage, colon perforation, carcinoma, coma and death.
PubMed: 23472485Senna alata.
A review is made of chemical, ethnopharmacological and pharmacological papers dealing with Senna alata (L.) Roxb., a plant that belongs to the Creole traditional system of medicine and that has recently been introduced in the French Pharmacopoeia. The proofs existing for its various usages are presented. The species is mainly used against constipation and skin diseases. The laxative activity is supported by scientific findings. In contrast the dermatologic use requires further investigation.

En tercer lugar, se han llevado a cabo investigaciones in vitro sobre sus propiedades antimicrobianas. Esto significa que la planta posee un potencial antibacteriano que podría ayudar a frenar el crecimiento de microorganismos dañinos en un entorno controlado.
Seguridad y Precauciones
La seguridad en el uso de Senna reticulata es un asunto de extrema precaución debido a su potente actividad farmacológica y la presencia de compuestos bioactivos como los glucósidos antraquinónicos. En mujeres embarazadas, el uso de esta planta es estrictamente desaconsejado; los componentes de la especie pueden actuar como agentes oxitócicos, estimulando las contracciones del músculo liso uterino, lo que incrementa el riesgo de parto pretérmino o aborto espontáneo. Durante la lactancia, los metabolitos activos pueden ser excretados a través de la leche materna, lo que representa un riesgo de diarreas profusas y desequilibrio electrolítico en el lactante. En la población pediátrica menor de 12 años, el riesgo de desequilibrio electrolítico es crítico, ya que la pérdida de líquidos puede derivar en una deshidratación aguda y una disminución peligrosa de los niveles de potasio y sodio. En cuanto a las interacciones medicamentosas, la Retama puede interferir con la warfarina debido a que la aceleración del tránsito intestinal altera la ventana de absorción del anticoagulante, modificando su biodisponibilidad y eficacia. Con la metformina, la alteración de la motilidad intestinal puede comprometer la absorción constante del fármaco, afectando el control glucémico.
