1/ 🧵Nattokinase: I do not take this for the reasons I do not (no need, also, not enough literature for me). But others DO take it. I do not promote its use here. However, this study shows nattokinase has a protective mechanism when it comes to the injury of BLOOD VESSELS.
2/ The study: https://www.lib.okayama-u.ac.j... The researchers ni the study investigate the potential protective effects of natto extract on vascular endothelial damage induced by laser irradiation. Both the earlier waves of Covid and vaccination have pointed to endothelial injury.
3/ This study (separate on covid and endothelial injury) says : Alveolar-capillary endothelial cells can be activated by SARS COV 2infection leading to cytokine release. causing endothelial dysfunction, pyroptosis, and thrombosis, which are the vascular changes, commonly
4/referred to as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) endotheliopathy. https://www.ahajournals.org/do...
5/ The first study on natto, looked at not just the impact on blood clots, but on the lining of the blood vessel walls. Vascular endothelial damage can cause thrombus formation, a risk for cardiovascular disease. Natto, a Japanese food made from
6/ fermented soybeans, is associated with a low prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Natto and nattokinase ARE NOT THE SAME THNIG.
7/ in the nattokinase study, endothelial damage was induced both in vitro and in vivo (in lab and in animal) by laser irradiation of rose bengal, a photosensitizer, using a DPSS green laser. Cell viability was assessed using the MTS assay, and intimal thickening was examined
8/ histologically. The antioxidant content of natto extract was measured to determine its free radical scavenging activity. Natto extract demonstrated high levels of antioxidant activity compared to purified natto kinase, indicating its potential for scavenging free radicals.
9/ Endothelial cells exposed to rose bengal irradiation exhibited damage in a dose-dependent manner. Natto extract significantly reduced apoptosis (programmed cell death) of laser-injured endothelial cells, indicating a protective effect against cell death.
10/ natto extract and natto kinase were found to suppress intimal thickening in rats with endothelial injury. This suggests that natto might assist in vessel thickening when the endothelial is damaged.
11/ natto extract may suppress vessel thickening through a synergistic effect attributed to its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties. natto might prevent cardiovascular diseases associated with vascular endothelial damage.
12/ IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS STIDY AND OTHERS ON NATTO OUT THERE: it was not eaten or taken orally.
13/ Again, this was not after taking it orally. Look at studies when researching natto. DId the human take it or was it in a petri dish? In this study. the use of the fibrin plate method to determine the thrombolytic (fibrin-dissolving) activity of natto extract.
14/ The method involves testing how effective natto extract is at preventing the formation of fibrin, a protein involved in blood clotting. The results suggest that the crude natto extract had a relatively poor ability to prevent fibrin formation compared to purified nattokinase
15/ , a known fibrinolytic enzyme. The fibrinolytic enzyme (FE) activity of the lyophilized natto extract was measured at 31±0.7 units per milliliter (U/mL), with purified nattokinase serving as a reference for comparison. This indicates that nattokinase had stronger
16/ fibrinolytic activity than the natto extract.
17/ I do not take nattokinase, have never taken it, I do not eat soy as it has detrimental effect on the thyroid. Moderate is enough of an impact for me. I am not RXing or DXing here. Always check with your doctor. This is not medical advice. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/p...
@_HeartofGrace_ So nattokinase not natto ? You're not worried about shedding ?
@_HeartofGrace_ I took Nattokinease orally, 4 to 6 times per week for about 4 1/2 months. My overall cholesterol came down by 62 points with no other change in diet. I only stopped because I had to cease all supplements before surgery last month.
@_HeartofGrace_ I was a bit worried as both my sisters and a nephew all got jabbed and boosted (against my advice). But can only do so much. Came across Natto and Serra sometime last year and convinced them to start taking it. They still do and thankfully have had no bad things happen.
@_HeartofGrace_ Do you know if it has any effect on dissolving arterial plaque buildup?
@_HeartofGrace_ Thanks for the work you do, putting it in terms i can comprehend.
@_HeartofGrace_ @threadreaderapp Unroll
@_HeartofGrace_ @reSeeIt save thread
@_HeartofGrace_ I have a question for you? Because of the spike proteins causing an issue with blood vessels, could there be pain involved?
