Groton Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its benefit for cartilage and disc in Groton 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. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office shares these new studies to help our Groton chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is a powerhouse potential for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It is reported that it can decrease blood glucose and reduce symptoms associated with diabetes. In new studies, it relieved diabetic osteoporosis and repaired the microstructure of bone due to 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 obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin sulfate is showing benefit that Groton chiropractic patients may appreciate.
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, decreasing water or food intake, reducing blood glucose, increasing bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could avert diabetic osteoporosis through reducing blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they stated that chondroitin sulfate can capably prevent bone loss brought on by diabetes.
