pharmachologic effect
Livolin Forte belongs to the group of hepatoprotectors. The preparation contains "essential" phospholipids as active components, the main elements of which are polyunsaturated fatty acids (oleic, linoleic and linolenic) and phosphatidylcholine.
Phosphatidylcholine is a part of the drug in the form of a highly purified fraction obtained by extraction from soybeans. The concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids in this fraction is significant, therefore, most of the drug remains unchanged in the duodenum, without interacting with phospholipase A2. After entering the blood, "essential" phospholipids are predominantly incorporated into subcellular and cell membranes.
According to the instructions, Livolin Forte helps to improve the functional state of the liver, avoids the formation and proliferation of connective tissue in this organ, and has a positive effect on the regulation of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Also, the drug ensures the regeneration and preservation of the structure of hepatocytes and enhances the detoxification function.
Important components of Livolin Forte are cobalt, vitamin E and B vitamins:
- vitamin E refers to antioxidants and prevents lipid peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in membranes, and also takes part in the formation of elastic and collagen fibers of the digestive tract, vascular smooth muscles, connective tissue and the formation of intercellular substance;
- vitamin PP is involved in the processes of tissue respiration, as well as in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, and stabilizes the xenobiotic metabolism system;
- vitamin B1 as a coenzyme takes part in the processes of carbohydrate metabolism and is responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses in the central nervous system and in all tissues;
- vitamin B2 refers to the catalysts of cellular respiration, and is also involved in the processes of glucuronidation and peroxidation of xenobiotics and endogenous substances;
- vitamin B6 is a coenzyme involved in the exchange of amino acids and protein metabolism, and is responsible for the synthesis of neurotransmitters;
- vitamin B12 in combination with folic acid starts the process of nucleotide synthesis, takes part in the formation of cells of the nervous membranes and erythrocytes, and ensures the growth of the body;
- cobalt is a serotonin antagonist; involved in folic acid metabolism, methionine reduction, fatty acid metabolism.
