Pulmonary Emphysema: ginger-nf-kb">Chronic Inflammation and Natural Approach

Thepulmonary emphysema is the progressive destruction of the alveoli, the main component of COPD. Central mechanism: elastase/antiprotease imbalance.

Mechanisms

• Neutrophilic elastase degrades alveolar elastin
• α1-antitrypsin insufficient (genetic deficiency or oxidative inhibition)
• Chronically activated NF-kB → endless neutrophilic recruitment
• Apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells

Ginger action + turmeric + turmeric-synergy-x20-inti-unique">piperine

• [6]-gingerol ↓ pulmonary neutrophilic recruitment
• Curcumin protects alveolar epithelial cells (animal model)
• Piperine active
