Ososayensi bathole ukuthi amagilebhisi awusizo ebuhlungu bedolo obuhambisana ne-osteoarthritis, isifo esivame kakhulu esihlangene, ikakhulukazi kubantu asebekhulile (emazweni athuthukile, sithinta cishe u-85% wabantu abangaphezu kuka-65).
Ama-polyphenols atholakala kumagilebhisi angaqinisa kakhulu uqwanga oluthinta i-osteoarthritis, okubangela ukonakala okuphawulekayo kwekhwalithi yempilo nokukhubazeka, kanye nezindleko zezezimali ezinkulu emhlabeni jikelele. Lesi sikhungo esisha singasiza amashumi ezigidi zabantu emhlabeni jikelele futhi songe izigidi zama-euro ngonyaka.
Phakathi nokuhlolwa, kwatholakala ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwamagilebhisi (isilinganiso esiqondile esinconywayo asibikwa) kubuyisela ukuhamba kwe-cartilage nokuguquguquka, futhi kuphinde kukhulule ubuhlungu ngesikhathi sokusebenza ngokuhlanganyela, futhi kubuyisela uketshezi oluhlangene. Ngenxa yalokho, umuntu uphinda akwazi ukuhamba nokuzethemba ekunyakazeni.
Ukuhlolwa, okwathatha amasonto angu-16 futhi kwaholela kulokhu kutholakala okubalulekile, kwakuhilela abantu abadala abangu-72 abaphethwe i-osteoarthritis. Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi nakuba ngokwezibalo abesifazane besengozini yokungenwa yilesi sifo, ukwelashwa ngempushana yamagilebhisi kwakusebenza kakhulu kubo kunabesilisa.
Kodwa-ke, emadodeni kwakukhona ukukhula okuphawulekayo kwe-cartilage, okuwusizo ekuvimbeleni ezinye izinkinga - kuyilapho kwabesifazane kungekho ukukhula kwe-cartilage kwabonwa nhlobo. Ngakho-ke, umuthi uwusizo ekwelapheni i-osteoarthritis kwabesifazane futhi kokubili ekwelapheni nasekuyivimbeleni emadodeni. Ngakho-ke singasho ukuthi amadoda kufanele adle amagilebhisi, njengoba bethi, "kusukela esemncane", nabesifazane - ikakhulukazi ekukhuleni nasekugugeni. Njengoba ucwaningo lwathola, ukusetshenziswa kwamagilebhisi kunciphisa ukuvuvukala okuphelele, okulungele impilo yonke.
Lokhu kutholwe kumenyezelwe engqungqutheleni ye-Experimental Biology, esanda kuba seSan Diego (USA).
UDkt Shanil Juma waseNyuvesi yaseTexas (USA), obehola lolu cwaningo, uthe enkulumeni yakhe ukutholakala kuveze ukuxhumana okungaziwa phambilini phakathi kwamagilebhisi kanye nokwelashwa kwe-osteoarthritis yedolo - futhi kusiza ekuqedeni izinhlungu nokubuyisela emuva. ukuhamba okuhlangene - zombili izici ezibaluleke kakhulu, ezidingekayo ekwelapheni lesi sifo esibi.
Ngaphambilini (2010) izincwadi zesayensi sezike zabika ukuthi amagilebhisi aqinisa inhliziyo futhi anciphisa ingozi yesifo sikashukela. Ucwaningo olusha lwaphinde lwasikhumbuza ngezinzuzo zokudla amagilebhisi.
