IVithamin C kunye neVithamin E ekutyeni iNciphisa uMngcipheko weSifo sikaParkinson

Uphando lwakutsha nje uphononongo phantse 44,000 amadoda kunye nabasetyhini bafumanisa ukuba amanqanaba aphezulu vitamin C kwaye i vithamini I-E ekutyeni idibene nomngcipheko ophantsi we-Parkinson's Disease¹.

iivithamini I-C kunye ne-E zi-antioxidants². Ii-Antioxidants zichasene noxinzelelo lwe-oxidative, olubangelwa ziimolekyuli ezisebenza kakhulu ezaziwa ngokuba ziiradicals zasimahla.². Uxinzelelo lwe-oxidative lunemithombo eyahlukeneyo efana nokukhanya kwelanga, ungcoliseko lomoya, umsi wecuba kunye nokuzilolonga². Uxinzelelo lwe-oxidative lunokubangela umonakalo weseli (ngomonakalo kwiimolekyuli emzimbeni) kwaye lunokuba negalelo kwizifo ezininzi ezinjengomhlaza, isifo sentliziyo, isifo seswekile, isifo sika-Alzheimer, isifo sikaParkinson. isifo kwanezifo zamehlo². Ke ngoko, i-antioxidants inokuba luncedo ekuthinteleni ukonakala kweemolekyuli kunye nokugcina impilo yeeseli.

Uphononongo lwakutsha nje lwaseSweden luphonononge iziphumo zemiba ethile yokutya kwizehlo zophuhliso Isifo sikaParkinson (PD) phantse kuma-44,000 amadoda nabasetyhini¹. Ezi zinto zibandakanya ukutya okutyayo i vithamini C, i vithamini E kunye ne-beta-carotene¹. Ukuthathwa kwezi micronutrients ezithile kwafaniswa nesiganeko sePD kwiqela¹.

I-Beta-carotene yayingenalo ukulungelelaniswa nomngcipheko wePD¹. Nangona kunjalo, ukuthatha iivithamini I-C kunye ne-E yayinxulumene ngokungafaniyo nomngcipheko wePD¹ ebonisa ukuba ezi antioxidants zibonelela ngesiphumo esithile se-neuroprotective esinciphisa izehlo zePD.

Olu phononongo lunokuvumela ukuthelekelela ukuba kunokuba luncedo ukwandisa ezi iivithamini ekutyeni ukunciphisa umngcipheko wePD, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba umbutho obonwayo wabangelwa kukuthathwa kwezi. iivithamini, njengokuba abantu besela ngaphezulu kwezi iivithamini unokuba nokutya okunempilo kunye neendlela zokuphila. Isenokuba imeko yokuba bekukho ubudlelwane be-causal kodwa oku kunzima ukungqina kufundo lombutho. Kusenokubakho ubudlelwane obungenasizathu; Ukuxhasa oku kukufunyaniswa kuphononongo oludala oluthelekisa amanqanaba e-antioxidants egazini lezigulane zePD ezingafumananga bungqina bokuba i-antioxidants ibe negalelo ekuqaliseni okanye ekuqhubeleni phambili kwePD.³. Okokugqibela, zombini iithiyori zinokuba yinyani, apho iivithamini I-C kunye ne-E ekudleni idlale indima encinci. Nokuba, umyalezo uwonke wokuthatha ivithamin C eyaneleyo (njengokutya iiorenji kunye namaqunube) kunye i vithamini E (njengokutya amandongomane kunye nembewu) mhlawumbi inceda impilo entle.
