Gluten-free vegan diet can improve the health of patients with the rheumatoid arthritis, according to the new research from Karolinska Institutet. The diet has a beneficial effect in various factors of danger for the cardiovascular disease.
The rheumatoid arthritis is connected with a increasing danger of atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and cardiovascular diseases. The lurking causes is unknown, but suspect of researchers that the disturbed balance of greases of blood that they see in the patients with the rheumatoid arthritis can be part of explanation.
A inquiring team in Karolinska Institutet has presented in a new study that gluten-free vegan diet has a beneficial effect in the cardiovascular factors of danger in the persons with the rheumatoid arthritis. The effect evle’j'de when was compared a team of patients that observed gluten-free vegan diet for one year with a team of control that had followed the usual dietetic advices.
The foods Vegan had a positive effect in the symptoms of illness, which more profe’rcikan in the team of control. The levels of blood of oxejdwme’nis ldl-cholesterol, a factor of danger for atherosclerosis, was also lower in the team that observed the vegan diet. The vegan team had also the highest levels of -PCANTJ, a type of antibody that the researchers consider have a protective effect of adversely atherosclerosis.
“Our conclusions propose a new mechanism from which the level of natural protective antibodies can increase itself. Also they show that the diet can have the results in the immunogenic system with the repercussions in the repercussion of illness “, says the professor Johan Frostegerd, which led the study.
The study began from the professor Ingidld Hafstrfm and it was realised in frames CVDIMMUNE, a consortium of OJ of ten European collaborators that was led by the Johan Frostegerd. The consortium studies the importance of -PCANTJ with the hope of growth of vaccine of adversely atherosclerosis.
“Gluten-free vegan diet causes decreased LDL and the oxejdwme’na level LDL and the improved atheroprotective natural antibodies adversely in phosphorylcholine in the patients with the rheumatoid arthritis accidental study”
