Canola-type reduces the level of Fibrinogen rapeseed oil, a cause of thrombosis and inflammation, study finds

PharmaLive.com (8 November 2010) - research on fatty acids in the universities of Helsinki and Tampere, consumption of rapeseed oil canola-type reduces harmful health Fibrinogen level in the body. Caused by an imbalance in essential fats in your diet, increased, Fibrinogen level decreases when saturated fatty acids are replaced with rapeseed oil.

The results of the research was published in journal prostaglandins, Leukotrienes the and essential fatty acids.

A complex equilibrium, Hemostatic balance, prevails in the bloodstream.A player in this issue of balancing is Fibrinogen, blood coagulation factor important unique.Un Fibrinogen level promotes the creation of thrombosis and maintains the inflammation in the body. An increase in the level of Fibrinogen is closely linked with, for example, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

New research shows for the first time that an increase of Fibrinogen from the blood level is largely caused by the lack of Omega-3-alpha-linolenic acid in the diet food .Lorsqu ' there is too little of this beneficial fatty acid in diet, an imbalance between the fatty acids in the body is créé.Lorsque Omega-3-alpha-linolenic acid level is too low, the body begins to produce the most harmful Omega-6-arachidonic acid Omega-6-linoleic acid, creating hormone-type compounds that cause thrombosis and inflammation. According to researchers, the composition of rapeseed oil grease is optimal at the Organization essential fatty acids and is therefore well suited to reduce levels of Fibrinogen in blood.

Fibrinogen and reduces cholesterol levels

All subjects of research 42, with many levels with high cholesterol, and Fibrinogen participated in the subjects recherche.Les replaced study a quarter of dietary fats, margarine, cheese, butter), they were used for rapeseed oil.Used oil was spring canola-quality oil turnip rape.They took on a spoon soup spoons of oil per day, for example, mixed with a salade.La doubled rapeseed oil dose the intake of Omega-3-alpha-linolenic acid during the period of the experiences of six semaines.En because of the regime, at all levels of Fibrinogen higher than the average has decreased by approximately 30%.

Research shows that Fibrinogen control and changing the fat consumed cholesterol is a starting point in the prevention of diseases as well as from the point of view of individual medical treatment réussi.Selon Laakso, PhD at the Faculty of pharmacy of the University of Helsinki, the harmful effects of fats, for example, older persons could be easily corrected by switching of rapeseed oil fat quarter.Laakso also recommends more cholesterol, health care facilities must measure the levels of Fibrinogen patients.
