116.MacKee HS, 1985. "In studies evaluating effects of P. edulis in rodents, increased high-density lipoprotein and decreased low-density lipoprotein and free fatty acids have been achieved, possibly due to pectin content of the supplementation.In a small clinical trial of patients with type 2 diabetes, passion fruit peel flour (from P. edulis), which is rich in soluble fiber and pectin, was used as a supplement and led to improvements in fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels.Results of a study show yellow passion fruit rind is a potential dietary fiber source, and may help protect against diverticular diseases.In a study of menopausal women, passion flower significantly reduced menopausal symptoms (ie, vasomotor symptoms, insomnia, depression, anger, headache, muscular/joint pain, numbness) in the third and sixth weeks of the study (Published clinical data are lacking to support therapeutic dosing guidance.Traditional doses for use as a mild sedative have included 0.5 to 2 g of P. incarnata aerial plant parts taken 3 to 4 times daily; 2.5 g of aerial parts as an infusion 3 to 4 times daily; or 1 to 4 mL of a tincture (1:8) 3 to 4 times daily.Various doseforms and dosages have been used in small clinical trials evaluating P. incarnata as a preoperative anxiolytic.

A statistically significant increase in anxiety scores was noted from baseline to just prior to spinal anesthesia in those receiving placebo compared to P. incarnataIn a multicenter, prospective observational study of children 6 to 12 years of age with a history of nervousness and agitation due to affective disorders, treatment with a combination of P. incarnata, Hypericum perforatum, and Valeriana officinalis improved symptoms of nervous agitation such as depression, school/examination anxieties, other anxieties, sleeping problems, and various physical problems.In a study of patients experiencing opiate withdrawal, a combination of P. incarnata and clonidine was superior to clonidine alone in improving mental symptom scores.Twelve weeks of treatment with a dried ethanolic extract improved resilience and quality of life in patients with "nervous restlessness. Asia Pacific J. Clin. It is important to fully inform your doctor about the herbal, vitamins, mineral or any other supplements you are taking before any kind of surgery or medical procedure. In a Cochrane review, dosages used in clinical trials evaluating Passiflora for anxiety disorder included 45 drops/day of an extract, or a 90 mg/day tablet.A small pilot study in adults used a tea solution (prepared by steeping bags containing 2 g of dried P. incarnata for 10 minutes in boiling water) administered over 7 days to evaluate effects on sleep quality.Use of passion flower is contraindicated during pregnancy because of uterine stimulant action of its alkaloids harman and harmaline, as demonstrated in animal models and in vitro studies, and the content of the cyanogenic glycoside gynocardin.Caution is warranted with coadministration of CNS-active medicinesCase reports are lacking regarding interactions with warfarin and other anticoagulants; however, compounds identified from P. edulis extracts have exhibited anticoagulant activity in vitro.Caution is warranted with coadministration of drugs that prolong the QT interval.Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, ataxia, and drowsiness have been reported with passionflower consumption, as well as prolongation of the QT interval and episodes of ventricular tachycardia.
