Les plantes alimentaires contiennent des principes actifs doués de diverses propriétés médicinales pouvant intervenir dans le traitement de nombreuses maladies. Cette étude est consacrée au recensement des plantes ayant des potentiels nutritionnel et thérapeutique dans la région Maritime du Togo, dans le but de la valorisation de ces plantes. De juin à septembre 2017, une enquête ethnobotanique, basée sur l’utilisation des interviews individuelles à l'aide d'un questionnaire semi-structuré, a été réalisée auprès de 101 Praticiens de la Médecine Traditionnelle. Au total 86 espèces végétales appartenant à 72 genres et 36 familles ont été identifiées. Les Fabaceae et les Solanaceae (7 espèces chacune) ont été les plus représentées. Les espèces les plus citées ont été Ocimum gratissimum L. (10,48%), Vernonia amygdalina Delile (6,71%), Lactuca taraxacifolia (Willd.) Schum. (6,08%) et Heliotropium indicum L. (5,66%). Les feuilles (77,85%), les fruits (5,63%) et les racines (4,26%) sont les organes les plus utilisées sur 799 recettes inventoriées. La principale forme galénique reste la sauce (51,19%) et le mode principal d’administration est la voie orale (90,74%). Concernant les maladies traitées, les affections du tube digestif sont au premier rang (43,80%) suivies par des affections cardiovasculaires (13,52%). Cette étude fournie une base de données sur des plantes ayant des potentiels nutritionnel et thérapeutique au Togo.Mots clés : Alicaments, potentiels nutritionnel et thérapeutique, sécurité alimentaire, Togo. English title: Ethnobotanical study of some food plants used in traditional medicine in the Maritime region of TogoFood plants contain active substances with various medicinal properties that can be used to treat many diseases. This study is devoted to the inventory of plants with nutritional and therapeutic potential in Maritime region of Togo, with the aim of promoting these plants. From June to September 2017, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted among 101 Traditional Medicine Practitioners through individual interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. A total of 86 plants species belonging to 72 genera and 36 families were identified. Fabaceae and Solanaceae (7 species each) were the most represented. The most cited species were Ocimum gratissimum L. (10.48%), Vernonia amygdalina Delile (6.71%), Lactuca taraxacifolia (Willd.) Schum. (6.08%) and Heliotropium indicum L. (5.66%). The leaves (77.85%), fruits (5.63%) and roots (4.26%) were the most plant parts used out of 799 inventoried recipes. The main dosage form remains the sauce (51.19%) and the main mode of administration is the oral route (90.74%). Regarding the treated diseases, the digestive disorders are in first place (43.80%), followed by cardiovascular diseases (13.52%). This study provides a database of plants with nutritional and therapeutic potential in Togo.Keywords: Food plants, nutritional and therapeutic potentials, food security, Togo.
and recipes included in the herbal medicines in the maritime region where this disease is more common. Method: The methodology was based on ethnobotanical semi-structural individual interviews of 16 traditional healers in the maritime region. The Data were collected and analyzed in Microsoft excel 2013. Results: 10 of the traditional healers were male and the average age of all the respondents was 42.31 ± 4.24 years. A total of 27 plant species belonging to 20 families were identified. The most represented families were: Caesalpinaceae with 3 species, Euphorbiaceae, Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Sapindaceae and Annonaceae with 2 species each. In the preparation methods, the decoction is the most used (37%), followed by the black powdered incorporated in an ointment (24%), the maceration (15%), the infusion (12%), the spraying (6%) and poultices (6%). These modes of preparation, were administered mainly externally by massage, disinfection of the lesion and orally. The most used parts of the plants were leaves (48%), roots (21%), and bark (10%). The species with the highest frequency of use were Blighia sapida KD Koenig, Amaranthus spinosus L, Ocimum canum Sims, Piliostigma thonningii (Schum.) Milne-Redh, Aloe verra L, Anacardium occidentale L, Paullinia pinnata L and Xylopia aethiopica (Dunal) A.Rich. Conclusion: By highlighting these plant species of interest, this study has an applicability in therapeutic innovation. It can contribute to the chemical, pharmacological and clinical evaluations of their molecules leading to development of phytomedicines to produce new drugs to strengthen the already existing therapeutic arsenal.
Les sujets en état de pré-diabète sont exposés à un risque élevé de diabète et de dyslipidémies. La présente étude avait eu pour but de mesurer la prévalence du pré-diabète et du diabète chez des sujets reçus à l’hôpital, puis de déterminer le profil lipidique des pré-diabétiques. Il s’est agi d’une étude rétrospective à visée descriptive, portant sur 3538 patients âgés de 3 à 120 ans, reçus en 2013 au Centre Hospitalier Universitaire nommé Campus. La glycémie, la cholestérolémie totale, la HDL-Cholestérolémie, et la triglycéridémie ont été dosées sur l’automate SELECTRA PRO M. La non-HDL- Cholestérolémie a été calculée. La prévalence du pré-diabète a été déterminée suivant les critères de l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé (OMS) et du « American Diabetes Association » (ADA). La prévalence du pré-diabète suivant les critères de l’OMS était de 8,1% contre 21,5% selon les critères de l’ADA. La prévalence du diabète était de 12,9%. Elle était de 15,3% chez les sujets âgés de 45 à 59 ans. Au sein de la population pré-diabétique 42,3 à 45,6% avaient des dyslipidémies. La prévalence du pré-diabète à l’hôpital était importante. Une prise en charge de ce dernier permettrait de prévenir le diabète de type 2 et réduire les risques de dyslipidémies. Mots clés : Glycémie, dyslipidémies, pré-diabétiques, Togo. English Title: Prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes with evaluated lipid profile, in urban hospital: retrospective study on 3538 patients seen at the Lomé campus university hospital. People with pre-diabetes are at high risk for diabetes and dyslipidemia. The aim of the present study was to measure the prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes in hospital patients, and then to determine the lipid profile of pre-diabetics. It was a retrospective descriptive study, involving 3538 patients aged 3 to 120 years, received in 2013 at the University Hospital Center called Campus. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-Cholesterolemia, and triglyceridemia were measured on the SELECTRA PRO M automatic analyzer. Non-HDL-Cholesterolemia was calculated. The prevalence of pre-diabetes was determined according to the criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the "American Diabetes Association" (ADA). The prevalence of pre-diabetes according to WHO criteria was 8.1% compared to 21.5% according to ADA criteria. The prevalence of diabetes was 12.9%. It was 15.3% in subjects aged 45 to 59 years. In the pre-diabetic population 42.3 to 45.6% had dyslipidemia. The prevalence of pre-diabetes in hospital was high. Management of the latter would prevent type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of dyslipidemia. Keywords: Glycemia, dyslipidemia, pre-diabetics, Togo.
