What is Occtaosanol?
Octacosanol is a naturally occurring monovalent higher fatty alcohol, which is a world-recognized anti-fatigue functional substance. It is widely distributed in the epidermis and internal organs of animals, wax secreted by insects, and lipids in the roots, stems, leaves, shells and kernels of plants. It has a very wide source and has no side effects. It is a pure natural health food additive and a pure natural medicine. It is widely used in sports functional drinks, natural health products, medicine and cosmetics.
Many studies have shown that octacosanol itself has many physiological effects, including relieving fatigue after exercise, enhancing human endurance, energy and physical strength, reducing blood lipids, effectively preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, resisting platelet aggregation, cell protection, and heart and brain ischemia protection. Octacosanol can be used as a good drug to resist hypoxia.
Octacosanol was first discovered by the University of Illinois in the United States and is believed to have anti-fatigue function. Subsequently, many scholars conducted more in-depth research on it. This blog mainly introduces the physiological functions of octacosanol.
Octacosanol is a typical anti-fatigue substance. Many studies have shown that octacosanol can increase the exercise endurance of experimental animals and improve their related biochemical indicators after exercise, including the effects on the content of toxic metabolites, liver glycogen, and energy supply substances.
Octacosanol can prolong the swimming and climbing time of mice, enhance the endurance of mice, reduce serum lactic acid content and serum urea nitrogen concentration, increase the level of glycogen accumulation in the body, and enhance the activity of enzymes in myocardial cells and skeletal muscle cells. Octacosanol preparations can also increase blood sugar in rats with exercise fatigue and prevent myocardial damage. It can also produce anti-fatigue effects by regulating neuroendocrine.
Octacosanol can improve the body's ability to tolerate hypoxia. In the animal normal pressure closed hypoxia test, octacosanol can significantly improve the tolerance of cerebral ischemia and myocardial hypoxia in test rats, reduce the mild dilation of blood vessels and cell edema in the heart and brain tissue, and have a negative impact on tissues. The structure of cells has a certain protective effect.
Human experiments have shown that octacosanol can enhance people's ability to work at plateau and reduce the increase in red blood cells caused by hypoxia at plateau. There are also studies saying that octacosanol can reduce the volume of red blood cells, increase the hemoglobin concentration in red blood cells, reduce blood viscosity, and improve microcirculation.
It can also improve the myocardial function of rats with chronic hypoxia by increasing the oxidative respiration efficiency of rat myocardial mitochondria.
Octacosanol can effectively protect myocardial mitochondria and prevent myocardial damage. Studies have found that octacosanol can improve the exercise capacity of rats, regulate myocardial endocrine function, reduce the content of MDA in myocardial mitochondria of rats undergoing exhaustive exercise, and maintain or increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and glutathione peroxidase.
Exhaustive exercise will produce too many free radicals, which will damage myocardial cells. Octacosanol can reduce the damage of free radicals to myocardial mitochondria by reducing lipid peroxidation, protect the structure and function of cell membranes, and play a protective role on the heart.
Octacosanol also has a certain alleviating effect on diabetes-related symptoms. In vitro tests have shown that polyol (the main component is octacosanol) has a significant effect on promoting insulin secretion.
It can also reduce the patient's insulin resistance index, low-density lipoprotein amount, blood sugar level and arterial systolic blood pressure. Taking lovastatin and prostatol for 8 weeks in patients with type II diabetes can significantly reduce the levels of LDL–C, TC, and TG in their serum.
Octacosanol enhances delayed-type cellular immunity in mice levels and spleen index, significantly stimulated T, Proliferation of B lymphocytes and secretion of B cell hemolysin antibodies. After athletes took 20 mg of octacosanol daily, the levels of T lymphocytes in their serum increased. The CD4/CD8 ratio of Pakistani cells increased significantly, which improved immune cells function.
Numerous studies have shown that octacosanol is a natural substance that has many significant physiological functions and is also very safe. At present, many achievements have been made in terms of octacosanol extraction, functional food, medicine, cosmetics, feed production, etc., and the market application prospects are very broad. China has abundant natural raw materials for octacosanol extraction, which creates good conditions to fully develop octacosanol.
