摘要:
A therapeutic use of ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid and/or derivatives thereof to reverse or counter the adverse effects of channel blockers in the medical management of cardiovascular disease in a subject is presented. Effects of select Na- and Ca-channel blockers on collagen synthesis and deposition were evaluated in cultured human dermal fibroblasts and aortic smooth muscle cells by immunoassay. Ca and Na-channel blockers inhibited the synthesis of collagen type I and collagen type IV, the basic molecules of vascular wall stability. The inhibitory effects of the calcium and sodium channel blockers on collagen synthesis was reversed by introducing ascorbic acid and/or ascorbyl palmitate. It can be concluded that calcium and sodium channel blockers have a direct inhibitory effect on collagen synthesis, favoring the instability of the vascular wall and the progression of cardiovascular disease, an effect that is mitigated by treatment with, ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbic acid and or derivatives thereof.
