La Grande Chiropractic Info: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its care of cartilage and disc in La Grande back pain. Its reputation continues to evolve in influence on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research positively affects diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC reports on these new studies to assist our La Grande chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is a powerhouse potential for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It is written that it can reduce blood glucose and reduce symptoms associated with diabetes. In new studies, it relieved diabetic osteoporosis and mended the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating properties in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One of the most recent reports that these outcomes were attained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin sulfate is providing benefit that La Grande chiropractic patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing water or food intake, reducing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and reducing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through the reduction of blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they stated that chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent bone loss brought on by diabetes.
