Abstract

Biljna vrsta Vitex agnus-castus L. se tradicionalno koristi u liječenju u mnogih ženskih tegoba među kojima su predmenstrualni sindrom, mastalgija, menstrualni poremećaji i hiperprolaktinemija. Zbog široke primjene i velikog broja žena koje pate od takvih tegoba, provedena su mnoga znanstvena istraživanja. Konopljika ne sadrži hormone, a njeno djelovanje se temelji na smanjenju lučenja prolaktina putem dopaminergičkih neurona i uspostavljanju ravnoteže između progesterona i estrogena u menstrualnom ciklusu. Klinička istraživanja pokazuju da konopljika može pozitivno djelovati na simptome predmenstrualnog sindroma.

Abstract (english)

Vitex agnus - castus L. is traditionally used in the treatment of many female disorders including premenstrual syndrome, mastalgia, menstrual disorders and hyperprolactinemia. Due to the wide application and high percentage of women suffering from such ailments, many scientific researches have been conducted. Chaste tree does not contain hormones, and its action is based on the reduction of prolactin secretion by dopaminergic neurons and establishing the balance between progesterone and estrogen in the menstrual cycle. Clinical studies suggest that chaste tree can positively affect the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
