Taming Inflammation

To mitigate glycocalyx degradation and associated inflammation beyond factors like aging, genetics, and lifestyle, consider the following strategies:

1. Antioxidant Therapy: Utilizing antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) may help reduce oxidative stress and protect the glycocalyx from hyperglycemia-induced damage.

2. Pharmacological Interventions: Certain medications, such as recombinant human thrombomodulin, have been reported to protect the glycocalyx from inflammatory injury.

3. Nutritional Support: Ensuring adequate intake of nutrients that support endothelial health may aid in preserving glycocalyx integrity.

Here are detailed strategies to implement antioxidant therapy, pharmacological interventions, and nutritional support:

1. Antioxidant Therapy

• Natural Antioxidants:

• Vitamin C Supplementation:

• Hydrogen Inhalation Therapy:

2. Pharmacological Interventions

• Sulodexide:

• Empagliflozin:

• Neferine:

3. Nutritional Support

• Balanced Diet:

• Reduce Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs):

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
