What you drink in the morning, protects the liver
Steaming cup of coffee or tea in the morning not only cheer you, but stand on guard your liver!
A team of researchers from Duke University (North Carolina, USA) concluded that caffeine reduces the risk of fatty liver (hepatic "obesity") in patients with non-alcoholic liver disease.
According to statistics, 70% of people suffering from diabetes and obesity , eventually become "happy" owners of steatosis. Unfortunately, the radical cure of the disease does not exist, even though it may provide some degree of control with diet and exercise.
The research team led by Dr. Ian Paul and Rohit Sinha, conducted their experiments on cell cultures and laboratory animals. It turned out that increasing the proportion of caffeine in the diet past contributed to the accelerated metabolism of fat in the liver cells. The authors concluded that the people in order to achieve the above effect should drink four cups of tea or coffee a day.
"We have become true pioneers in this area: to have no details have not studied the effect of caffeine on fat metabolism in the liver. "Tea and coffee is so firmly established in our daily lives that the opening of any useful properties of these drinks is very good news, especially given the prevailing among the people regarding their stigmatization."
The authors hope that guided their research, pharmacologists will begin to develop drugs based on caffeine, which would be devoid of the typical side effects of the latter, but would maintain a positive effect on the liver.
Moreover, in the long term this could become the foundation for a whole stratum of scientific research devoted to the potential therapeutic use of caffeine. Results of this study were published in the journal Hepatology.
