[ ] a few pharmacological role ( male child more) in eating beans or inhalation of its pollen, can produce acute hemolytic anemia ( a broad bean flavivirus Favism ), symptoms of hemoglobinuria, shock, fatigue, dizziness, gastrointestinal disorders and urinary urobilinogen excretion increased; more severe with pale, jaundice, vomiting low back pain, weakness. General eat raw beans after 5-24hours after that occurred, but sometimes eat fried may also occur. Such as the Department of inhaled pollen, while episodes faster. Occurrence of broad bean yellowing reasons, is one of the few people to have a congenital biochemical defect, namely the blood cells in the absence of glucose - 6 - phosphate dehydrogenase ( G-6-PD ), so the reduced glutathione content is very low, in vicine after invasive, can produce blood cell lysis. Will vicine blended in a food ( l% ) on rat or chick can inhibit their natural growth. Some people also believe that, in addition to vicine, beans and other factors can also cause a similar hemolysis. The root contains5 hydroxy - uracil, as a metabolic antagonist, and containing2,6- two amino purine ( DAP ), can suppress lactobacillus, this inhibition can be gland glucoside by turnover: the material can make the bone marrow depletion, and hurt the dog and rat colon, jejunum epithelial cells, is a carcinogenic substance. The role of DAP is not through the pentose nucleic acid ( PNA ), but due to the interference of the gland glucoside, guanidine essential metabolic functions.
