Bades with collagen: effect on digestion
Chapter 1: Collagen – fundamental protein and its role in the body
Collagen is the most common protein in the human body, which is about 30% of the total mass of protein. It is a key structural component of connective tissues, providing strength, elasticity and support of various organs and systems. The name comes from the Greek word “κόλλα” (kolla), which means “glue”, which reflects its role in “gluing” tissues together.
1.1. Composition and structure of collagen
Collagen is a fibrillar protein consisting of three polypeptide chains twisted into the right triple spiral. Each chain is rich in amino acids by glycine, a proline and hydroxyproline. Glycine is always in every third position in the sequence of amino acids, forming a repeating Gly-XY motive, where X and Y are often represented by a project and hydroxyproline, respectively. This unique amino acid composition and three -dimensional structure provide collagen its strength and resistance to stretching.
1.2. Types of collagen and their distribution
There are at least 28 different types of collagen, each of which has a unique structure and function. However, the most common types are collagen I, II, III, IV and V.
- Collagen i: The most common type is found in the skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, cornea and blood vessels. It provides strength and resistance to stretching these tissues.
- Collagen II: The main component of the cartilage ensures its elasticity and the ability to withstand the loads.
- Collagen III: It is found in the skin, vessels and internal organs. It provides elasticity and support for these fabrics. Often coexists with collagen I.
- Collagen IV: The main component of the basal membrane, a thin layer of extracellular matrix, supporting epithelial and endothelial cells. It plays an important role in filtering and barrier function.
- Collangen V: It is found in the skin, hair and placenta. He plays a role in the formation of collagen fibrils and cellular adhesion.
1.3. Collagen synthesis
Collagen synthesis is a complex multi -stage process that occurs inside cells called fibroblasts, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, depending on the type of tissue. The process includes:
- Transcription and broadcast: Collagen genes are transcribed to the MRNA, which is then broadcast into polypeptide chains of calylagen on ribosomes.
- Post -Translation Modifications: Proconcollagen chains are subjected to various modifications, including hydroxylation of the hole and lysine, as well as glycosylation. These modifications are necessary for the formation of a stable triple spiral. Vitamin C is an important cofactor for enzymes participating in the hydroxylation of the proline and lysine.
- The formation of a triple spiral: Three modified pricollagen chains spontaneously twist into the right triple spiral.
- Secretion: Prokollagen molecules are secreted from the cell to the extracellular space.
- Preconpeptidase: The enzymes of the prollagenpeptidase eliminate the end peptides from the Prokollagen molecule, turning it into a tropollagen.
- Assembly of fibrils: Tropollagen molecules are self -organized in collagen fibrils.
- Cross sequins: Liziloxidase enzymes catalyze the formation of cross -stitches between collagen molecules, which strengthens and stabilizes collagen fibrils.
1.4. Factors affecting the synthesis of collagen
Collagen synthesis is a dynamic process that is influenced by various factors, including:
- Age: With age, the synthesis of collagen decreases, which leads to a deterioration in the condition of the skin, joints and bones.
- Nutrition: Sufficient consumption of protein, vitamin C, copper and zinc is necessary for the synthesis of collagen.
- Hormonal status: Hormones, such as estrogen, play a role in the regulation of collagen synthesis. A decrease in estrogen level during menopause can lead to a decrease in collagen content in the skin.
- Ultraviolet radiation: Ultraviolet radiation damages collagen and reduces its synthesis.
- Smoking: Smoking reduces collagen synthesis and worsens the blood supply to the skin.
- Diseases: Some diseases, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases, can affect collagen synthesis.
1.5. COLLAGEN in food products
Collagen is found in animal products, such as meat (especially connective tissue, cartilage and bones), fish and poultry. Bone broth made from animal bones is a good source of collagen. Gelatin obtained by hydrolysis of collagen is also a source of amino acids necessary for the synthesis of collagen.
Chapter 2: Collagen and digestive system
Collagen plays an important role in maintaining the health and function of the digestive system. It is a structural component of the walls of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract) and is involved in digestive processes, absorption of nutrients and protecting the mucous membrane.
2.1. Collagen as a structural component of the gastrointestinal tract
The gastrointestinal walls consist of several layers, including the mucous membrane, a submucosal base, a muscle layer and a gray shell. Collagen is an important component of all these layers, ensuring their strength, elasticity and support.
- Mucous membrane: Type IV collagen is the main component of the basal membrane, which supports epithelial cells lining the mucous membrane. Collagen is also present in its own plate of the mucous membrane, providing its structure and support.
- Deposit base: The submucosal base contains a large amount of collagen, which provides its strength and elasticity. It also contains blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves that nourish and innervate the mucous membrane.
- Muscle layer: The muscle layer consists of smooth muscles that are responsible for peristalsis – wave -shaped contractions that advance food on the gastrointestinal tract. Collagen provides structure and support for the muscle layer.
- Serosa membrane: The serous membrane is the outer layer of the gastrointestinal tract, which protects it from damage and provides its sliding relative to surrounding tissues. Collagen is an important component of the serous membrane.
2.2. Collagen and intestinal permeability
The intestinal permeability, also known as the “leaky intestine” syndrome, is characterized by increased permeability of the intestinal mucosa. This can lead to the penetration of undigested particles of food, bacteria and toxins into the blood, which can cause inflammation and various diseases.
Collagen plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa and preventing increased permeability. It strengthens the basal membrane and intercellular contacts, preventing the penetration of undesirable substances into the blood.
Some studies show that collagen supplements can help reduce intestinal permeability and improve the symptoms of diseases associated with increased permeability, such as inflammatory intestinal diseases (BCC).
2.3. Collagen and inflammatory diseases of the intestine (BCC)
ISC, such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are characterized by chronic inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. Collagen plays a role in the regulation of inflammatory processes in the intestines.
Some studies show that collagen supplements can help reduce inflammation and improve the symptoms of BCC. Collagen can contribute to the healing of the intestinal mucosa and a decrease in the activity of inflammatory cytokines.
However, additional studies are needed to confirm these results and determine the optimal dosage and duration of collagen intake during BAC.
2.4. Collagen and digestion
Collagen can help improve digestion due to several mechanisms:
- Improving the secretion of gastric juice: Some studies show that collagen can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, which is necessary for the digestion of proteins.
- Support for the health of the gastric mucosa: Collagen helps to protect the gastric mucosa from damage caused by acid and other irritating substances.
- Reducing inflammation in the digestive tract: Collagen has anti -inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and improve digestion.
2.5. Collagen and irritable bowel syndrome (SRK)
SRK is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by pain in the abdomen, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. The causes of the IBS have not been fully studied, but it is believed that an important role is played by intestinal motility, increased intestinal sensitivity and inflammation.
Some people with SRK note an improvement in symptoms after taking collagen additives. Collagen can help reduce inflammation, improve intestinal motility and reduce intestinal sensitivity.
However, additional studies are needed to confirm these results and determine the effectiveness of collagen in the SRK.
2.6. Collagen and recovery after gastrointestinal surgery
After operations on the gastrointestinal tract, such as intestinal resection, the body must restore damaged tissues. Collagen plays an important role in the healing process of wounds and restoring the intestinal mucosa.
Collagen additives can help accelerate wound healing, reduce inflammation and improve the gastrointestinal tract after operations.
