Anti-oxidant has the effect on inhibiting age pigment and delaying
senility
There
are many beige speckles in size on the skin of aged person; and
the diameter of some big one is 2-3cm. people called them senile
plaque in medical fields.
Lipofuscin causes senile plaque. Lipofuscin
is some poisonous and atoxic waste materials that accumulated in
the metabolism of body cells. They are insoluble for highly across
linkage and hard to eliminated through cellular membrane. These
materials are accumulated in cells for stability, and the amount
increase with grows.
Senile plaque distributes in all organisms
not only skin but some important organ fibers like cardiac muscle,
brain, liver, and adrenal gland.
It seems that age pigment do no harm to
health. But recent research indicates that it have great influence
on health, especially on brain cells. It usually forms some globes
in different size in the gyrus hippocampus. Some diseases like neurosis,
dysnoesia, amnesia, premature ageing, Amaurosis familial idiot etc
are related. Senile plaque is an important factor that causes the
deficiency of brain function and also a symbol of aging. When Senile
plaque appear in some organisms, Lipofuscin covers the surface of
tissues, which can influence the normal physiologic function and
accelerate the cell senescence, and finally influence the function
of some important organism.
Research indicates that chain reaction of
peroxidation which caused aging can be blocked by some anti-oxidant.
It also can break the formation of lipofuscin. Animal experiment
shows that anti-oxidant (VE, VC, Se, Met, etc) have the function
of blocking the generation of lipofuscin and increasing the life
span, delaying senility and so on.
It’s important for aged person that not
only the diet regularity and adequate sports but intaking some natural
or synthetic anti-oxidant (VE, VC) in daily life have benefits on
delaying senility, in addition, some foods like peanut oil, soybean,
sesame, and vegetables rich in VE and VC can also have functions
of delaying senility. People should avoid long time exposure to
ultraviolet and scratching. Physical process like liquid nitrogen
frozen and laser can also eliminate senile plaque. Physical exercise
can be an important method to avoid the deposition of senile plaque
on the surface of blood vessel and to prevent the vascular degeneration.
