Blueberries will prevent the liver from diseases
liver protectionChinese scientists have discovered that blueberries may contribute to the restoration of ailing liver, and these berries treat without any adverse effects.
Traditional medicines from liver disease often have severe side effects. In connection with this medicine world is in the search for effective and safe natural remedies. Experts from China decided to test the blueberry, which is famous for its healing effect on the eyes and brain, as well as protective properties against cancer.
Scientific researches were conducted on a background of liver fibrosis - a disease when occurs excessive production of collagen. It is believed that most of its development is associated with bacterial and viral exposure, resulting in damaged vascular walls of intra-hepatic branches of the portal vein.
A specialist in infectious diseases, Dr. Ming-Liang Cheng and his colleagues from the Medical College Guiyang, conducted an experiment on rats with artificially induced liver fibrosis. The disease arises due to the 8-week fat-rich and poor protein diet and by injecting carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Then the animals were divided into several groups. One group was left without treatment, in the other were used blueberries for the prevention, in the third - a mixture of Chinese herbs in capsules (Dan-shao-hua-xian - DSHX), in the fourth - a combination of blueberries and DSHX.
Homogenate - a suspension of fragmented tissue to sub-cellular components of animal or plant in a buffer or other solution, usually obtained through a special apparatus (homogenizer). Can be used to study biochemical reactions in vitro.
Then researchers measured important for assessment status of the liver parameters. It was found out that blueberries helped to reduce the size of the body, reducing the level of hyaluronic acid and other harmful substances in the blood serum, as well as increase of useful components. Compared with the results of untreated rodents, the level of dangerous substances in liver homogenates was lower. All this indicates a significant slowing of development of liver fibrosis.
To summarize, it can be said that the effect of blueberry on fibrosis and other diseases of the liver is very efficient, and it can be recommended for their prevention.
