Thank you for your trust in us.
Before answering the question Ms.. Noviyaty Indrayany, we will describe a
little about cholesterol and squid.
Cholesterol is a sterol metabolites that contain fat that is found in cell
membranes and circulated in the blood plasma. The human body needs cholesterol
for cell growth (including brain cells) as well as the synthesis of sex
hormones and vitamin D.
Humans need about 1100 milligrams of cholesterol / day to maintain cell walls
and other physiological functions. Of these, 25-40 percent (200-300 mg) from
food and synthesized by the body rest. In humans, cholesterol can be
synthesized in the body itself, which is at the heart, cortex, adrenal, skin,
intestine, testis, stomach, muscle, adipose tissue, and brain.
The average adult body contains about 140 g of plant sterols, especially in the
form of cholesterol. The source of this cholesterol comes from two main
sources, namely: the synthesis of cholesterol by the liver (and outside the
liver) and absorption by the intestine. About 500-1400 mg / day of cholesterol
enters the body of the reserve cholesterol synthesis (500-1000 mg) and diet (up
to 500 mg / day).
In other words, in the human body, there are two main sources of cholesterol.
First, in the digestive tract (gastrointestinal tract) in which dietary
cholesterol is obtained from diet or dietary cholesterol (300-500 mg), the
input of bile (bile input) or biliary excretion (800-1200 mg), and desquamated
cells (300 mg). Second, the liver which is the main source of cholesterol
synthesis.
Total cholesterol level is good for the human body is under 200 mg / dl, HDL
over 35 mg / dl, LDL less than 130 mg / dl, and triglycerides less than 250 mg
/ dl.
High levels of cholesterol in the blood stream is referred to as
hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia plays an important role in the
development and progression of atherosclerosis and risk factors apparent for
coronary heart disease or coronary heart disease. The worst effects due to high
cholesterol levels in the blood is clotting of fat that can block blood flow
and trigger heart attacks and strokes.
Nutritional content of squid
Squid (Loligo spp) or squid, in Indonesia called many terms, such as: enus,
bonuses, cuttlefish, or sontong interest. The squid are marine animals
belonging to the Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Mollusca, Class Cephalopoda, Upakelas
Coleoidea, Superordo Decapodiformes, Order Teuthida, and family Loliginidae.
Nutritional value of squid is very special, for example: the protein is quite
high, namely 17.9 g/100 g of fresh squid. Fat content is relatively low, namely
7.5 g/100 g of material, each containing 1.9 g of saturated fatty acids; 2.7 g
monounsaturated fatty acids; and 2.1 g of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Examples
of polyunsaturated fatty acids are omega 3, lowering blood cholesterol.
Cholesterol levels quite high, reaching 260 mg/100 g of material. Other
references mention the cholesterol content of squid around 1170 mg.
The squid is also a good source of vitamins such as vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2
(riboflavin), B12, niacin, folic acid, and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
The minerals contained in the squid are: sodium, potassium, phosphorus,
calcium, magnesium, and selenium. The squid also contains all the essential
amino acids the body needs. Essential amino acids which are predominantly
leucine, lysine, and phenylalanine. Whereas nonessential amino acids which are
predominantly glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Both of these amino acids
contribute to flavor savory and tasty.
Fishy odor when a squid cooked or boiled caused by sulfur content of the
cuttlefish is quite high. Characteristic flavor of squid meat is caused by the
content of TMAO (trimethyl Amin Oxide). Sweetness caused by monoamino nitrogen
content.
Squid ink can activate white blood cells to fight tumors. In addition, vitamin
A content in squid ink is also high.
Cholesterol Lowering Drugs
To answer the question Noviyaty Indrayany above, then let me describe some of
the drugs commonly prescribed to lower cholesterol and its side effects.
1. Simvastatin dose: 5 mg, 10 mg and 20 mg. Side effects: The most frequent
muscle cramps (muscle cramps), then there are also other effects, such as
gastrointestinal disturbances, abdominal pain (abdominal pain), constipation,
flatulence, asthenia, dyspepsia, rhabdomiolisis (sore on the body), hepatitis,
edema angioneurotik, alopecia, cranial nerve dysfunction, tremor, headache,
vertigo, memory loss, paresthesia, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerve paralysis
/ peripheral, pancreatitis, anorexia, gynecomastia, loss of libido, erectile
dysfunction, oftalmoplegia, progressive cataract, hypersensitivity reactions.
Thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hemolytic anemia, is very rare.
2. Polikosanol, dose: 5 mg and 10 mg.
3. Pravastatin sodium, the dose: 5, 10, and 20 mg. Side effects: skin rash,
myalgia, headache.
4. Pravastatin, dose: 10 mg and 20 mg. Side effects: myopathy, rhabdomyolysis,
hives, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bloating,
chest pain, influenza.
5. Rosuvastatin calcium, the dose: 10 mg and 20 mg. The side effects: headache,
dizziness, constipation, nausea, back pain.
6. Lipitor (atorvastatin calcium 10 mg, 20 mg and 40 mg). Side effects:
dyspepsia, abdominal pain, headache, nausea, diarrhea, myalgia. Based on
practical experience, to minimize side effects, there are doctors who are also
accompanied by or accompanied by the provision of Myores (Eperison HCl). But
let this not immediately follow, because still need to be evidenced-based
research-based medicine to prove the truth. So the unanswered question is why
the three above experienced by Ms.. Noviyaty Indrayany.
7. Ezetimibe (a novel agent inhibiting cholesterol absorption) when prescribed
together with drugs known as statins (fluvastatin, lovastatin, pravastatin,
simvastatin, atorvastatin, and rosuvastatin) then it will effectively raise
levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and lower triglycerides,
non -HDL-C, and apolipoprotein B. The combination of ezetimibe with statins
will inhibit the production of cholesterol in the liver (liver). Ezetimibe
reduces the amount of circulating lipoprotein cholesterol in the liver. NPC1L1
is the major target of ezetimibe action. This is a "new drug" which
is effective for lowering cholesterol.
Actually, other than medical drugs, there are also some herbs that are
scientifically proven to be effective as well as lowering cholesterol.
Herbal Cholesterol Reducer
Some herbs that can lower total serum cholesterol levels by 10-33% is:
1. Guggul (Commiphora mukul),
2. Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum),
3. Red yeast (Monascus purpureus) rice,
4. Artichoke (Cynara scolymus).
5. Yarrow (Achillea wilhelmsii),
6. Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum),
7. Eggplant (Solanum melongena), and
8. Arjun (Terminalia arjuna) is also effective in lowering serum cholesterol.
To note also, in addition to cholesterol-lowering drugs and herbs, then under a
low-cholesterol diet also needs to be run.
Low-cholesterol diet secrets:
1. Avoid cigarettes and alcohol.
2. Limit your intake of: grapes, cabbage, coffee, radishes, drinks containing
soda, pineapple, jackfruit, young jackfruit, mustard, tape, strong tea.
3. Consumption of cholesterol-lowering foods, such as: avocado, red yeast rice
(Chinese red rice), garlic, spinach, beans, wheat, fish, nuts, soy, olive oil,
Plant stanols esters (PSE), fiber, tea, and carrot.
4. Vegetable consumption as fresh vegetables or eaten raw, having previously
washed.
5. Consumption of fruits and vegetables are varied.
6. Consumption of up to 2 x egg yolks a week.
7. Consumption of fish instead of meat. If forced to eat meat, discard fat.
8. It is advisable to cook food with methods: boiling, steaming, mengungkep,
sauteing, grilling, or burn.
9. PSE is a phytosterol contained in such foods as corn, olive oil (olive oil)
or oat grain, but the levels are very low only reaching about 20 to 60 mg per
serving of food.
10. Red yeast rice should not be consumed together with cholesterol-lowering
drugs (statins) that are inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (such as
atorvastatin, lovastatin, fluvastatin, simvastatin, pravastatin, cerivastatin).
Therefore, to increase the influence of the drug that ultimately will increase
the risk of liver damage (liver).
11. Garlic or garlic (Allium sativum) may lower total cholesterol by 6-13%.
12. Soluble fiber in the water inhibits the absorption of cholesterol in the
intestine that help lower cholesterol in the blood. Water-soluble fiber that
can be found in wheat, brown rice, beans, apples, carrots, vegetables, and
fruits.
This explains, may be useful.
