Cardiovascular and Related Complications and Evidence-Based Complementary Treatments

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains the scientific breakthroughs which revealed that the high levels of blood sugar present in Type 2 diabetes generate free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), which in turn reduce formation of the protective molecule nitric oxide (NO), and that this pattern induces chronic systemic inflammation of the endothelial lining of the arterial blood vessels which damages every organ and tissue in the body.
