Scientists from Chelyabinsk are studying a natural antioxidant effective in the treatment of stress

Now young doctors from the Chelyabinsk university under the guidance of experienced colleagues are studying resveratrol - a natural antioxidant belonging to the class of polyphenols. It is synthesized by some plants as a defense against bacteria, fungi and parasites. Experts have found its useful properties for people. “Chelyabinsk scientists have found a way to strengthen the nerves and at the same time the liver. When we experience severe stress, not only the nerves but also the internal organs suffer. It disrupts the brain. And scientists came to the conclusion that the brain is an organ that directly depends on the liver. For the brain to function properly, it needs glucose. And its source in the blood is the liver. And here comes to the rescue of resveratrol - natural compounds that help to cope with the effects of stress, strengthen the nervous system. This discovery was made by scientists led by Professor Vadim Tseilikman, the creator of the laboratory of neurohepatology at Chelyabinsk State University, commented Yanina Zolotova, clinical psychologist (Moscow). In addition, a natural antioxidant helps to resist cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and even cancer. “For the experiment, the scientists put the rats under stress for 10 days daily by placing fox-scented cotton discs in their cells: stimulating chronic stress from a constant predator threat.” 10 days for rats is like a year for humans. However, with the help of the drug, the rodents became less anxious. According to scientists, resveratrol helps block one of the elements that is responsible for increasing the level of stress hormones in the blood. This prevents excessive stress on the nerve cells. Plus resveratrol is also powerful antioxidants slowing down the aging process, says Yanina Zolotova, clinical psychologist (Moscow). Experts from Chelyabinsk continue the experiments, and the conclusions made will then become the basis for a scientific report. It is possible that proven hypotheses in the future will be based on pharmacological companies and manufacturers of useful nutrition.
