Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) as a coadjuvant treatment in some chronic noncommunicable diseases.

in vitamina •  6 years ago 

Vitamina hidrosoluble, es un antioxidante poderoso conocido por bloquear parte del daño producido por los radicales libres que dañan el ADN. Con el tiempo, el daño por los radicales libres puede acelerar el envejecimiento y contribuir al desarrollo de enfermedades cardíacas y otras condiciones de salud. Es a través de este efecto antioxidante que se cree que la vitamina C podría jugar un papel en la protección de la salud cardíaca. Es nutriente esencial del organismo que contribuye en la formación de colágeno, en la cicatrización de las heridas, en la función inmune y en la síntesis de neurotransmisores.

La especie humana es una de las pocas que carecen de capacidad para sintetizar el ácido ascórbico, por lo que necesita obtenerlo de la dieta; de lo contrario se desarrolla el escorbuto.

Entre sus acciones biológicas tenemos:

Interviene en la síntesis de colágeno, esto favorece la cicatrización de heridas de manera mas rápida. Esta función es de gran importancia a nivel cardíaco y vascular, debido a que la capa intima de las arterias está por tejido endotelial, la capa intermedia por células del músculo liso y fibras elásticas y la externa, por fibras de colágeno.

Ayuda a mantener la elasticidad normal de las arterias, al igual que evita el acumulo de placas de ateroma, previniendo de esta manera dos enfermedades importantes que conllevan a complicaciones graves, estas son arteriosclerosis y aterosclerosis, respectivamente.

Water-soluble vitamin, is a powerful antioxidant known to block part of the damage produced by free radicals that damage DNA. Over time, damage by free radicals can accelerate aging and contribute to the development of heart disease and other health conditions. It is through this antioxidant effect that it is believed that vitamin C could play a role in the protection of heart health. It is an essential nutrient of the organism that contributes in the formation of collagen, in the healing of wounds, in the immune function and in the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

The human species is one of the few that lack the capacity to synthesize ascorbic acid, so it needs to be obtained from the diet; otherwise scurvy develops.

Among its biological actions we have:

Involved in the synthesis of collagen, this favors the healing of wounds more quickly. This function is of great importance at cardiac and vascular level, because the intimal layer of the arteries is by endothelial tissue, the intermediate layer by smooth muscle cells and elastic fibers and the outer layer by collagen fibers.

It helps to maintain the normal elasticity of the arteries, as it prevents the accumulation of atheromatous plaques, thus preventing two important diseases that lead to serious complications, these are arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, respectively.
