Japanese scientists from Osako-Rosa Hospital managed to determine that the introduction of zinc-containing additives into the human body reduces the risk of developing certain liver diseases, including oncology, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35. net The findings of the scientists are based on data from a controlled clinical study, which involved 267 patients with various pathological processes in the liver, including hepatitis B and C, as well as alcoholic cirrhosis.

Study participants were divided into two groups. The first group of 196 people took supplements containing zinc twice a day, as well as the usual treatment and amino acids. The second group of 71 people - zinc did not receive.

Three years later, in patients from the first group, a decrease in the inflammatory processes of the liver was determined, as well as an improvement in its function. It was among the study participants from the first group that a low risk of developing liver oncology was identified. Among the participants of the experiment from the second group, not only a deterioration of the liver condition was noted, but also indicators determining a predisposition to cancer were significantly increased.

The lack of zinc in the body leads to the activation of stellate cells of the liver, causing lipid oxidation, which causes the accumulation of fat in the liver. As you know, it is fat accumulations that lead to the development of various inflammatory processes in the body, including the liver.

Introduction to the diet of patients with impaired liver function not only improves its condition, but also helps prevent the development of conditions dangerous to human life.
