英文摘要:

      Cistanche belongs to the homologous substance of medicine and food. It is a perennial herbaceous parasitic plant of Ledangaceae, and has the effects of anti-oxidation and anti-fatigue. Cistanche, known as "desert ginseng", is described as anti-aging in many ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. The anti-aging effect of Cistanche has attracted much attention and become one of the hot spots in health food research. This paper discussed the mechanism of anti-aging from the aspects of free radical theory, telomere theory, immune theory, brain-center theory, stem cell transplantation, heat restriction, traditional Chinese medicine aging-theory and so on, and discussed the anti-aging effects of bioactive components of Cistanches in detail from the aspects of polysaccharides, total glycosides, phenylethanoid glycosides and extracts, so as to provide some references for the development of anti-aging products of Cistanches.
