Radioprotective properties of taxifolin

Leave a comment

People who have to deal with cancer often touches on the problem of complications after irradiation.
Under the influence of radiation damage is, first and foremost, blood vessels and connective tissue. After irradiation can also experience additional symptoms that may occur at the same time, these include among others. fatigue, general weakness, reduce the natural resistance of the organism, anorexia, depression, changes in activity in the blood (reduction in the number of white blood cells and platelets), skin reactions, redness, hair loss on the scalp irradiated, only in the case of brain tumors, mucosal reactions in the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal cavities when irradiated tumors of the head and neck, skin reactions, respiratory and heart (late) in the irradiated organ chest, skin reactions and entero-bullous when irradiated with a range of reactions and belly of the rectum, the vagina, the vulva with pelvic irradiated.

In some cases, especially when irradiated is the thorax may cause damage to the heart muscle, especially when applied to high doses of radiation for cancer of the lungs, lymph nodes in the mediastinum, covering the area between the lungs in close to the heart.

Does diabetes lead to damage of the blood vessels?

Leave a comment

Complications of diabetes are most commonly associated with damaged blood vessels, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, damage to the retina of the eye and kidney disease. The disease can last for years before being detected, which is very dangerous, as even a small increase in blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and accelerate atherosclerotic processes. Therefore, diabetes should not be underestimated, even if this is the initial stage of development of this disease, because it contributes to the development of atherosclerosis, and this is the most common cause of death. High blood sugar levels helps the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, gradually tapered diameter of the coronary arteries.

A change in the metabolism of the heart cells causes an increased need for nutrients with limited blood supply. This is the cause of myocardial ischemia, which can lead to heart attack, heart failure and sudden death of a heart. The risk of heart attack in hospitalised patients with diabetes is very large. Diabetics must therefore pay particular attention to the control of the General State of health and rapid response in the event of distressing symptoms.

The quality and purity of the taxifolin by orac

Leave a comment

Scientists discovered thousands of antioxidants of wihich 500 is well-understood. Many of them can be obtained only under laboratory conditions, others occur widely in nature, mostly in food. In our home market we have a few dozen as vitamin A (retinol), witamin E (tocopherol), vitamin C, rutin, quercetin, hesperidin, naringenin. Until the interest the topic I knew 3 of them. It just shows how low our consciousness is in dealing with the pathogenesis of diseases and the use of antioxidants. In the English-language medical press appear from time to time reports of newly discovered antioxidants and ongoing research into their application. With tracked literature you can also find out about the origins of antioxidants-how to place of origin determines the purity and power of antioxidants. One way to estimate this “power” is the ORAC.
ORAC is the antioxidant capacity of foods; it is determined using the test, the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity.

ORAC sets out all products of plant origin like fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices and vitamins such as vitamin A, C, E, quercetin and dihydroquercetin in terms of “power” antioxidants.

Statins or dihydroquercetin – what’s better for lowering cholesterol

Leave a comment

Increasingly difficult to persuade patients to change diet or physical activity. The reason for this condition is the rush that accompanies us every day. Doctors Cardiologists wonder whether in these circumstances does not recommend the use of prophylactic statin drugs in the fight against cholesterol (action is based on the block in the liver reductase enzyme hydroksymetyloglutarylo-CoA). In today’s post I will try to explain the similarities and differences of statin drugs and dihydroquercetin-the measure of the use of medical and preventive .In accordance with the recommendations of both the European and American treatment of lipid disorders main objective is the reduction of LDL-cholesterol with statin drugs. This is the standard therapy that reduces the level of cholesterol (and triglycerides) in the blood.

The scale of the problem can provide the quantity of drugs sold. Sales of the drug under the trade name Lipitor in 2006 stood at 12.9 billion dollars, making it the most popular prescription drug in the world. You have to just think about how many of these patients have side effects?

Dihydroquercetin as a means of preventative

Leave a comment

Very often I hear the statement that his grandfather, father, mother sister suffered from this or that. There’s a lot of truth. Through our genes we inherit all the baggage of our ancestors. Often we not even knowing that we are in the risk group.
Group risk does not mean, however, that we will be sick but that we are prone to this disorder. We can only help him to our way of life and conscious choice.
Make individual surveys on our health we can do at home, answering a few questions: who in the family was ill, or suffering from still if this is disorder classified as lifestyle diseases (list below), or died. Useful will also be talk with loved ones, and watch.
If the answer is affirmative then you are probably at group of risk.

Arrhythmia

Leave a comment

Cells function of our body depends on a continuous supply of oxygen from the blood. If the blood supply to a tissue would cease, the situation becomes very serious. After a few or a several minutes of cut-off of oxygen supply (depending on the type of tissue) in the tissue are irreversible changes. Many studies of this type was performed on the heart muscle. They showed that few minute cutting off blood supply to the heart muscle causing arrhythmia, which persists spontaneously after a certain time. Longer, few or ten minutes ischemia results in an characteristic set of changes, known as the “stunned heart” or systolic heart disorders of abnormal contractions of the heart, which are not accompanied by myocardial necrosis. These changes will go away after a few-dozen days. Ischemia (part) of the heart muscle lasting longer than several minutes causes it to die off.

Heart arrhythmias can lead to serious and irreversible changes in the body. The use of Dihydroquercetin followed by improvement of microcirculation and contractility of the myocardium, coronary blood flow, and decrease the viscosity of the blood.
