CAN GH3 DO ANYTHING FOR SICKLE-CELL ANAEMIA?
Researchers in one laboratory study showed that, when exposed to procaine, sickled cells would re-oxygenate. They concluded that procaine competes with calcium for membrane binding sites. Calcium is believed largely responsible for the brittle form of haemoglobin. This was a laboratory study only. However, the investigators took the position that procaine held promise for controlling sickle-cell deformity. 11. WHAT EFFECT DOES GH3 HAVE ON BLOOD SUGAR ABNORMALITIES? There is no extensive data on the subject. One study showed easier management of blood sugar level in diabetics using GH3 as an adjunct to insulin. It also suggested that blood sugar levels tended to become normal in cases where the values were aberrated slightly. 12. WILL GH3 HELP REDUCE STRESS? GH3 exhibits anti-adrenergic properties and functions as a muscle relaxant. Both these factors may provide greater resistance to stress. As already explained, DEAE participates in the production of acetylcholine, the counterpart of
