Caffeine not only directly affects the PCSK9 protein, but also blocks the activation of the SREBP2 protein, which also reduces PCSK9 levels in blood flow.
Researchers from McMaster University in Canada have discovered proteins that are affected by caffeine and thus help the liver remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to RBC-Ukraine.< /p>
According to scientists, regular consumption of coffee promotes the entry of caffeine into the body, which reduces the level of PCSK9 protein in the blood. In addition, this protein helps the liver to better break down the «bad» a type of LDL cholesterol.
It is noted that it is because of it that the risk of cardiovascular diseases increases.
In addition, caffeine not only directly affects the PCSK9 protein, but also blocks the activation SREBP2 protein, which also reduces the level of PCSK9 in the bloodstream.
«As a result of our study, we found out exactly how caffeine reduces the level of PCSK9 protein in the bloodstream and thereby helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease&# 187;, — said researcher Richard Austin of McMaster University.
In addition, coffee reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes with frequent use, normalizes blood sugar levels. It also improves memory and attentiveness for a short time.
The drink reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, dementia, breast cancer, and cirrhosis of the liver. It also relieves headaches and is effective for migraines.
