Trihepat is a Natural Hepatic Protector in syrup for canines and cats
The main component of Trihepat is Silymarin, a natural drug extracted from Silybium marianum thistle , which has several pharmacological actions that may contribute to its apparent effects in the treatment of liver diseases . It inhibits the enzyme lipid peroxidase and beta-glucuronidase , and acts as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger. It also inhibits the cytotoxic, inflammatory, and apoptotic effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). It appears to be able to disrupt the outer cell membrane of hepatocytes, preventing toxin entry.
Cells of the reticuloendothelial system : they are in charge of phagocytizing through their membranes all the aggressive elements for the organism (toxins, bacteria, fungi, etc.) that penetrate from the intestine through the portal vein.
Oral. Therapeutic dose: 4 ml for every 15 kg of weight, 3 times a day. Treatment is continued for as long as hepatocyte aggression remains, or until function is restored. Decreased hepatic enzymes may be used as parameter. In the absence of clinical symptoms, a preventive dose may be administered: 4 ml for every 15 kg, once a day.
Hepatocytes: These are the liver cells responsible for the endocrine and exocrine functions of the liver. By protecting their membranes, it prevents them from losing endocellular elements (GPT, GOT and others) and burst death.
Trihepat syrup contains
Choline : Very important lipotropic agent in the metabolism of fatty acids and constituent of the neurotransmitters Acetylcholine and phosphatidylcholine . It promotes the conversion of liver fat into phospholipids , which are more quickly transferred from the liver to the blood. When the liver is injured, higher amounts of choline are necessary to prevent fatty degeneration of the liver. Choline deficiency can lead to cirrhosis and fatty degeneration of the liver, hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), heart problems, high blood pressure, and/or kidney bleeding.
Methionine : It is an essential amino acid . Part of its functions are to remove waste from metabolic processes from the liver and to help reduce lipids, avoiding the deposit of fat in the liver and arteries. It is involved in different metabolic processes related to the manufacture of various important compounds (mainly proteins) for good muscle performance.
