Banana peel extract protects mouse lungs from smoke damage
OpenAlex · 2026-08-20
Extract from banana peel, usually thrown away as waste, protected mice lungs from cigarette smoke damage in a lab study, with higher doses giving stronger protection.
1
Banana peel extract tested positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and saponins, all known antioxidant compounds
2
Mice given no extract showed the worst lung damage score (2.3), while extract-treated groups showed a clear dose-response pattern
3
The highest dose (84 mg/kg body weight) produced the best protection, with a lung damage score of just 1.0 compared to 1.7 at the lowest dose (42 mg/kg)
