Therapeutic impact of lablab beans (Lablab purpureus) on anxiety like behaviour in adolescent
Abstract
Lablab beans (Lablab Purpureus), also known as hyacinth or field beans, are a leguminous crop widely recognized for their nutritional, environmental, and medicinal properties. Native to tropical Africa and cultivated across Asia, especially in drought-prone regions, these beans are rich in protein, fibre, and essential minerals like iron and calcium, offering a valuable food source in areas with limited access to animal-based proteins. Additionally, Lablab beans are known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Recent studies have suggested that specific compounds within Lablab beans may influence neurotransmitter systems, particularly by affecting the GABAergic system, which plays a key role in regulating stress and anxiety
