PubMed abstract (March 2001): Consumption of high doses of chlorogenic acid, present in coffee, or of black tea increases plasma total homocysteine concentrations. Background: In population studies, high intakes of coffee are associated with raised concentrations of plasma homocysteine, a predictor of risk of cardiovascular disease. Chlorogenic acid is a major polyphenol in coffee; coffee drinkers consume up to 1 g chlorogenic acid/d. ⟵ Full text link ⟿ http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/73/3/532.long

Taking the amino acid L-arginine and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) before surgery or afterwards seems to help reduce the recovery time. ★ Possibly effective for improving recovery after surgery. Taking L-arginine with ribonucleic acid (RNA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) before surgery or afterwards seems to help reduce the recovery time, reduce the number of infections, and improve wound healing after surgery! ★ Bladder inflammation. Taking L-arginine seems to improve symptoms, but it may take up to three months of treatment to see improvement. ★ Improving kidney function in kidney transplant patients taking cyclosporine. ★ Cramping pain and weakness in the legs associated with blocked arteries. ★★ Tags: arginine, Arginin http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arginin gefäßerweiternd: daher blutdrucksenkend via Stickstoffmonoxid (NO). Dadurch wird die Bereitschaft für thrombotische Veränderungen an Gefäßplaque-Rupturen herabgesetzt. Es wird angenommen, dass Arginin die unterdrückte Immunantwort bei schweren Verletzungen, Mangelernährung, Sepsis und nach Operationen positiv beeinflussen kann. Bei zusätzlicher Gabe wird eine verbesserte zelluläre Immunantwort, eine Abnahme verletzungsbedingter Funktionsstörungen der T-Zellen und eine verstärkte Phagozytose beobachtet. Zusätzlich wird die Ausbildung der endothelialen Dysfunktion (gestörten Gefäßfunktion) verhindert. 1998 gab es für die Erforschung des Zusammenhangs von Arginin und NO den Nobelpreis für Medizin. ★★ Bei Erwachsenen wird der Bedarf an L-Arginin durch die körpereigene Produktion oft nicht ausreichend abgedeckt. Besonders in der Wachstumsphase, durch Stress, bei diversen Krankheiten (z. B. Arteriosklerose, Bluthochdruck, erektile Dysfunktion, Gefäßerkrankungen) oder nach Unfällen übersteigt der Bedarf an Arginin die vom menschlichen Organismus produzierte Menge. Auch im Alter steigt der Bedarf an L-Arginin stark an, da der endogene Gegenspieler, das asymmetrische Dimethylarginin (ADMA) um den Faktor 4 ansteigt und damit 40-fach erhöhte Argininkonzentrationen zur Neutralisierung der gefährlichen Effekte dieses Sterblichkeitsfaktors benötigt werden. Diese Mengen können nur durch Einnahme von Arginin-Kapseln gedeckt werden. ★★ Bei einer Proteinzufuhr von etwa 70–90 g/Tag ergibt sich eine rechnerische tägliche Argininzufuhr von ca. 1–5 g/Tag. ★★ Als (semi)essentielle Aminosäure ist L-Arginin obligatorischer Bestandteil einer parenteralen Ernährung. In Elektrolyt-Konzentraten zum Zusatz zu Infusionslösungen und in peroralen Diätetika wird L-Arginin ebenfalls eingesetzt. Pharmazeutisch verwendet wird meistens das L-Arginin-Hydrochlorid. ### Arginin wird auch als Zusatz in Zahnpasta verwendet. Verglichen mit einer herkömmlichen Zahnpasta mit Fluoridzusatz wurde eine verbesserte Remineralisierung mit einer Kombination aus Arginin, Calciumcarbonat und Fluorid nachgewiesen. ★★ Arginin wird zur Supplementierung bei unzureichender Zufuhr oder erhöhtem Bedarf als diätetisches Lebensmittel für verschiedene Krankheitszustände wie erektile Dysfunktion, Arteriosklerose im Frühstadium, endotheliale Dysfunktion und Bluthochdruck vermarktet.

Lifespan extension: coffee without milk promotes health by stimulating autophagyKaffee ohne Milch ⟿ Autophagie = Selbstverdauungsprogramm, das die Zellen reinigt & entgiftet: not as programmed cell death apoptosis! Kaffee = Autophagie-Auslöser: innerhalb von 1 – 4 Stunden wurde die zelluläre Autophagie von Leber, Skelett-Muskulatur und Herz – stark angekurbelt. Der dekoffeinierte und der koffeininhaltige Kaffee ist hierbei gleich wirksam ★ What is the difference between apoptosis and autophagy? Apoptosis is programmed cell death (can be seen as a cell "suicide"). It is the process by which the cell starts a chemical reaction pathway in order to kill itself. ★ Autophagy is where the cell breaks down and destroys one of its own components. This helps maintain a balance between cellular products so not too much of a certain compound (ie. proteins) is produced. ★ http://www.nature.com/nrm/journal/v8/n9/abs/nrm2239.html ★ Autophagy (self eating) is the process of self-digestion by a cell through the action of enzymes originating within the same cell. It occurs in case of nutrient starvation (increased levels of autophagy lead to the breakdown of non-vital components and the release of nutrients, ensuring that vital processes can continue) and infection (autophagy plays a role in the destruction of some bacteria within the cell). It acts as a repair mechanism and it is also attributed as programmed death for cell. ★ While, Apoptosis (self killing) is the disintegration of cells into membrane-bound particles that are then eliminated by phagocytosis or by shedding. Apoptosis is one means by which a developing organism shapes its tissues and organs. For instance, a human fetus has webbed hands and feet early on its development. Later, apoptosis removes skin cells, revealing individual fingers and toes. Apoptosis is also committed in times of distress, for the good of the organism as a whole. For example, cells that have suffered damage to their DNA, which can make them prone to becoming cancerous, are induced to commit apoptosis. ★ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2601595/
