Chondroitin exists widely in human and animal cartilage tissues. Its medicinal preparations mainly contain two isomers of chondroitin sulfate A and chondroitin sulfate C, and the content of chondroitin sulfate is different in the cartilage of different species and ages. Its pharmacological effects are as follows:
1,
chondroitin sulfate powder can remove the lipid and lipoprotein in the blood in the body, remove the cholesterol of the blood vessels around the heart, prevent and cure atherosclerosis, and increase the conversion rate of lipid and fatty acid in cells.
2, chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent and cure coronary heart disease. It can inhibit atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic plaque formation in experimental arteriosclerosis model. Increases atherosclerotic coronary artery branching or collateral circulation, and accelerates the healing, regeneration, and repair of myocardial necrosis or degeneration caused by experimental coronary atherosclerosis or embolization.
3, can increase the cell messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) biosynthesis and has the role of promoting cell metabolism.
4. Low anticoagulant activity. Chondroitin sulfate has mild anticoagulant activity, and each LMG of chondroitin sulfate A is equivalent to 0.45U of heparin anticoagulant activity. This anticoagulant activity is independent of antithrombin III and can be activated through the fibrinogen system.
5, chondroitin sulfate also has anti-inflammatory, accelerate wound healing and anti-tumor effects.
