Toronto Chiropractic Info: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its care of cartilage and disc in Toronto 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 associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre reports on these new studies to help our Toronto chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is powerful for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s reported that it can decrease blood glucose and relieve symptoms related to diabetes. In new studies, it soothed diabetic osteoporosis and mended the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! A recent report states that these outcomes were attained 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 Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is nutrition. The use of chondroitin sulfate is providing benefit that Toronto chiropractic patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing water or food intake, lowering blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits initiated the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through the decrease of 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.
