Georgetown Chiropractic Info: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its benefit for cartilage and disc in Georgetown back pain. Its reputation grows in influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. Recent research positively affects diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Dr. Butwell reports on these new studies to assist our Georgetown 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’s written that it can reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms associated with diabetes. In new studies, it soothed diabetic osteoporosis and repaired the microstructure of bone due to its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One of the most recent reports that these outcomes were obtained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Dr. Butwell is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin sulfate is showing benefit that Georgetown chiropractic patients may appreciate.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another study of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing 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 decreasing blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent bone loss triggered by diabetes.
