La automedicaci\u00f3n de los gorilas podr\u00eda dar pistas para el descubrimiento de f\u00e1rmacos en el futuro, de acuerdo a cient\u00edficos.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Investigadores de Gab\u00f3n estudiaron plantas tropicales que comen los gorilas salvajes (y que tambi\u00e9n utilizan los curanderos humanos locales) e identificaron cuatro con efectos medicinales.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Los estudios de laboratorio revelaron que las plantas tienen un\u00a0alto contenido de antioxidantes y antimicrobianos<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Una de ellas result\u00f3 prometedora para\u00a0combatir las superbacterias<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Los grandes simios son conocidos por\u00a0automedicarse\u00a0<\/b>seleccionando plantas con propiedades curativas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recientemente, un orangut\u00e1n herido fue noticia por usar una pasta vegetal para curarse una herida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

En el \u00faltimo estudio, bot\u00e1nicos registraron las plantas que com\u00edan los gorilas occidentales de las tierras bajas en el Parque Nacional Moukalaba-Doudou de Gab\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Los investigadores seleccionaron cuatro \u00e1rboles que probablemente fueran beneficiosos, bas\u00e1ndose en entrevistas con curanderos locales:\u00a0ceiba\u00a0<\/b>(Ceiba pentandra<\/i>),\u00a0morera amarilla gigante\u00a0<\/b>(Myrianthus arboreus<\/i>),\u00a0teca africana<\/b>\u00a0(Milicia excelsa<\/i>) e\u00a0higueras\u00a0<\/b>(Ficus<\/i>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

La corteza de los \u00e1rboles, que se usa en la medicina tradicional para tratar todo, desde problemas estomacales hasta infertilidad, conten\u00eda sustancias qu\u00edmicas con efectos medicinales, desde fenoles hasta flavonoides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Las cuatro plantas mostraron actividad antibacteriana contra al menos una cepa resistente a m\u00faltiples f\u00e1rmacos de la\u00a0bacteria E. coli<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

La ceiba, en particular, mostr\u00f3 una “actividad notable” contra todas las cepas analizadas, afirmaron.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Esto sugiere que los gorilas evolucionaron hacia la ingesta de plantas que los benefician, y pone de relieve las enormes lagunas en nuestro conocimiento de las selvas tropicales de \u00c1frica central”, dijo Joanna Setchell, antrop\u00f3loga de la Universidad de Durham, Reino Unido, que trabaj\u00f3 en el estudio con cient\u00edficos gaboneses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gab\u00f3n cuenta con vastos bosques inexplorados, que albergan elefantes de bosque, chimpanc\u00e9s y gorilas, as\u00ed como muchas plantas desconocidas para la ciencia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

La caza furtiva y las enfermedades han provocado la desaparici\u00f3n de un gran n\u00famero de gorilas occidentales de llanura en estado salvaje.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Estos animales est\u00e1n clasificados como en peligro cr\u00edtico en la Lista Roja de la Uni\u00f3n Internacional para la Conservaci\u00f3n de la Naturaleza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
