Hardening of the arteries Beginning of cerebrovascular disease
Hardening of the arteries Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which blood vessel walls lose their elasticity, become hard, thick, and narrow, causing poor blood flow. It is an important factor that leads to
Stroke, which is the main cause of paralysis. Paralysis in Thai elderly people Currently, it is found that more than 250,000 Thai people suffer from stroke per year.
The heart of this problem It depends on the deterioration of Blood vessel wall cells (Endothelial cells)
The role of endothelial cells
This type of cell performs important functions such as
Controls the expansion and contraction of blood vessels
Reduce inflammation
Prevents platelet adhesion
control blood pressure
When these cells deteriorate It causes blood vessels to harden and become clogged easily.
Mitochondria: The energy source of blood vessel wall cells.
Within endothelial cells, there are mitochondria (Mitochondria), which produce energy (ATP).
If the function of the mitochondria is impaired,
Oxidative stress
chronic inflammation
Degeneration of blood vessel walls
All of these are the main mechanisms that accelerate this. Hardening of the arteries
Resveratrol from Mulberry with protecting blood vessels
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol found in mulberries. There are many studies indicating that Has the potential to take care of blood vessel health Specifically through the following mechanisms
1. Strengthen the function of mitochondria.
Resveratrol stimulates the activity of genes related to
Creating new mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis)
Improving energy production in endothelial cells
Makes blood vessel wall cells strong and resistant to deterioration with age.
2. Reduce oxidative stress
Resveratrol has antioxidant effects. Helps reduce damage to mitochondria and blood vessel walls. which is the cause of hardened arteries
3. Reduce inflammation of blood vessel walls
Helps reduce signs of chronic inflammation Makes blood vessels remain flexible and function well.
Summary
Resveratrol is extracted from mulberry.
Has the potential to Slows down and prevents the atherosclerosis process.
By strengthening the mitochondria in blood vessel wall cells.
Helps make blood vessels strong, flexible and circulate blood well.
This is the key to reducing the risk of stroke in the elderly.
