Liver disease - the invisible killer can not be ignored

The liver is an important human immune organs, known as the body's "life tower", which in human metabolism, digestion, detoxification, blood coagulation, immune regulation, and these play a very important role in the body's essential "Chemical plant. "
The liver is an important human immune organs, known as the body's "life tower", which in human metabolism, digestion, detoxification, blood coagulation, immune regulation, and these play a very important role in the body's essential "Chemical plant. " If the liver are damaged, the blood glucose concentration will be an imbalance, the body of toxic substances in a timely manner can not be ruled out, the body's normal metabolism would therefore rise to confusion.
With the improvement of living standards in recent years, diet change and the growing consumption of alcoholic beverages, alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver incidence is growing rapidly. According to reports, the United States in 2005, the number of people suffering from fatty liver compared with an increase of one-fold in 2001, and continued to 5 years doubled the speed of upward. Similarly, the incidence of fatty liver in China is also growing year by year, about 10% of school-age population with varying degrees of fatty liver, whereas in white-collar crowd, as much as 3 per 10 persons suffering from fatty liver.
Fatty Liver threat posed to the human body is significant. Many clinical studies have shown that fatty liver and liver fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver often have occurred or in combination. Clinically, no matter what kind of fatty liver can be induced liver fibrosis in patients with fatty liver due to lipid metabolism disorder, so that excessive intake of liver cells has a strong cytotoxicity of free fatty acids, not only damage the liver cell membrane, but also accelerated triglyceride and other lipids in the liver cells of the synthesis and accumulation, so that the excessive fatty infiltration of liver cell degeneration and necrosis. Over time, it led to the occurrence of liver fibrosis and ultimately can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Cirrhosis secondary to have a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.
In addition, about 1 / 4 of patients with fatty liver will also suffer from other liver diseases (viral hepatitis and drug-induced liver disease, etc.), the patient is undoubtedly worse.
Selenium - magic Liver factor
Primary liver disease, including alcohol treatment, treatment of liver injury, prevention and treatment in combination with other liver disease, halting or reversing the progress of liver fibrosis and promote regeneration, reduce complications and improve quality of life.
The choice of drug in the treatment of liver disease must be very careful. Scientific research shows that selenium is an essential trace element. In the human body, the liver is the largest organ of selenium content, while the majority of patients with liver disease exist in the body selenium deficiency phenomenon, and the more severe disease, selenium deficiency more apparent.
1. The lack of selenium will not only result in reduced immune function, but also cause the body anti-oxidation system were damaged. At this point, the daily metabolism of the body of harmful substances "free radicals" by the removal of obstacles, excessive free radicals can cause liver damage, which can cause the deterioration of liver disease. The selenium as a strong antioxidant, glutathione peroxidase can be played by antioxidant, protecting the structural integrity of liver cells, removing free radicals, accelerate the decomposition of lipid peroxides, reducing its blood vessels attached to possibility wall to avoid the occurrence and development of fatty liver.
2. Selenium can block the process of development of hepatitis B to cirrhosis of the liver, so that white blood cells and red blood cells in the blood increase in the number hepatoprotective effect of drug treatment be improved in a relatively short period of time, greatly improve the patient's appetite, fatigue, gloomy face and other symptoms improved.
3. Selenium as a potent immune regulator, is capable of regulating humoral and cellular immune system, enhance the body's immune function. As the general immune function in patients with liver disease, body identification, and ability to inhibit the virus will be weakened. The virus was often difficult to obtain clear and repeated attack, resulting in long-term damage to the body. Selenium in enhancing the immune function of the liver while improving its resistance to diseases, helps prevent liver disease keeps returning.
4. Selenium also has the function of detoxification, can antagonize a variety of toxic heavy metals (such as: mercury, lead, arsenic, etc.) and some harmful compounds, thereby reducing the environment of toxic substances in the liver damage.
Cancer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences Professor Yu Shuyu experts, who after 16 years of studies have found that Se can decrease the incidence of hepatitis, 35%, so that a family history of hepatitis, liver cancer incidence rate has dropped 50%.
In 138 cases in Chongqing hospitals to treat patients with liver disease, while adding selenium as a nutritional adjuvant. In which 24 cases of hepatitis B, 98 cases of hepatomegaly (1 case has been the formation of ascites), liver in 4 cases. The results showed that Se above a certain effect of liver disease who were taking selenium continuous treatment after 5 to 10 days, have reduced liver volume, texture soft. In clinical symptoms, signs and indicators to improve the detection level of better than patients without Se.
Therefore, selenium because of its excellent liver protection, protecting liver functions by experts known as the "protective factor against liver necrosis." However, selenium has one characteristic, namely, intake must reach a certain level, will produce significant results. Safety of different selenium compounds also vary. Demand for a safe, low toxicity of selenium products became the focus of the majority of scientists. After nearly 40 years of research, the emergence of nano-selenium finally this vision into reality, the preparation of zero valent elemental selenium into the nano-particles (Nano-Se) to produce changes the nature of its activity and safety of other selenium compounds that can not be match.
