ACTIVATION DE LYMPHOCYTES T AUXILIAIRES/INDUCTEURS HUMAINS, LYMPHOCYTES T CYTOTOXIQUES/ SUPPRESSEURS, LYMPHOCYTES B ET CELLULES TUEUSES NATURELLES (NK) ET INDUCTION DE L'ACTIVITÉ DE CELLULES TUEUSES NATURELLES CONTRE DES CELLULES DE LEUCÉMIE MYÉLOÏDE CHRONIQUE K562 AYANT DE LA PECTINE DE CITRUS MODIFIÉE
Administration of low molecular weight (10,000-20,000 Daltons, or lower) pectins, particularly modified citrus pectins (MCP), like PectaSol-C reduces galectins-3 levels in vivo. Reduction of galectin-3 levels by MCP inhibits inflammation, inhibits fibrosis formation in organs and tissues, and inhibits cancer formation, progression, transformation and metastases. The reduction in circulating, serum and cellular galectin-3, inherently resulting from the administration of MCP, provides benefit over a spectrum of biological conditions, as evidenced by in vivo trials.
