Natural Product With No Contraindications
Green tea may prevent or delay onset of type 1 diabetes. Experts believe it will be a big step, because it is a natural product with no contraindications, so there is no danger of it being harmful to the body
To reach this finding, experts worked in the pursuit of original focus of this disease. For this purpose, mice after administering materialized green tea EGCG decreased with the severity and delayed onset of salivary gland damage associated with type 1 diabetes, which currently has no known cure.
“EGCG modulates several important genes that suppress the abnormality at the molecular level in the salivary gland. Also considerably lowers the novel of auto antibodies, reducing some symptoms of type 1 diabetes” said Dr. Stephen Hsu, a biologist at the University who explained that the antibodies are antibodies the body uses against itself.
In this regard, according to the article published in the journal Life Sciences “, collected by otr / press, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack. This condition is included in the category of autoimmune disorders and is one of the most common in the United States, affecting approximately 8 percent of the population, says Dr. Hsu.
Thus, the study shows that investigation, the first to be done about it, showing the impact of EGCG on this autoimmune disease. Thus, the researchers show in the article as it experimented with two groups of mice. One of them given water while the other was given a purified form of EGCG dissolved in drinking water. In 16 weeks, the EGCG mice had 6.1 percent more likely to be cured of diabetes.
PRODUCT WITHOUT CONTRAINDICATIONS
Now, experts say, the next step is to observe developments in human salivary gland samples to determine whether study findings are confirmed in people. “If the abnormal expression of these genes have the same results in people in the animal model, then the second stage will be intervention and treatment with a pure form of EGCG,” he said.
“The advantage of using green tea in preventing or stopping of these autoimmune diseases is that it is a natural product and there are no contraindications that may damage the body,” he said. This highlights that “EGCG does not have negative side effects that may be associated with steroids or other medications that could otherwise be prescribed,” he concludes.
