摘要:
Erythrocyte aggregation is the tendency of erythrocytes to form aggregates whose shapes change according to normal variations or pathological conditions.Consequently,regardless of cause,these anomalies eff ect changes to flow dynamics and predispose the inability to carry out transportation activities and decrease functional capillary density or decrease erythrocyte surface area,also decreasing functional efficiency.Functional capillary density is the determination of the number of capillaries in an area that have erythrocyte flow and relates to the subsequent ability of the blood to deliver nutrients,fluid and solute exchange,and waste product excretion.Red blood cell aggregation has a signifi cant impact on functional capillary density.Moringa oleifera,one of the most phytonutrient dense plants as identifi ed by the NIH,has garnered interest by those involved with anti-aging medicine.The US National Institutes of Health,the nation’s medical research agency whose mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health,lengthen life,and reduce the burdens of illness and disability,has affi rmed Moringa oleifera can“arrest,reverse,and cure,over 300 diff erent diseases and disorders.”Regular use of Moringa oleifera has been shown to have a multitude of health benefi ts.In addition to this,Moringa oleifera provides all of the essential amino acids,vital vitamins,contains several important minerals,is an incredibly powerful antioxidant,is high in fi ber,stimulates the immune system to fight cancerous cells,tumours,ulcers,epileptic seizures and cleanses and detoxifi es the entire body.Moringa oleifera has been shown to protect platelets against aggregation.In this investigation live blood microscopic evaluation indicates positive changes in the shape and spatial orientation of the erythrocytes and decreased incidence of aggregation and rouleaux indicating improved functional capillary density.In conclusion,a proprietary form
