Science and Biomedical information about Wasabi
Wasabia japonica - Nature's Gift
Anti-Coagulant - blood thinning for circulation and prevention
of strokes, treatment of atherosclerosis (blood vessels narrowed by plaque),
surgical uses
The 6-MITC of Wasabi has been found to inhibit platelet aggregation thus
making it an effective anti-coagulant (Kumagai et al. 1994, Morimitsu et
al. 2000, Morimitsu et al. 2002). These anti-coagulant properties
could be used in the treatment of the elderly, and during surgery where preventing
platelet aggregation is vital. Platelet aggregation is recognized to be a precipitating
factor in cardiovascular diseases. 6-MITC may inhibit platelet aggregation
by a number of different mechanisms including the inhibition of lipoxygenase,
cyclooxygenase, cAMP phosopodiesterases and CGMP phosphodiesterase.
