So far I have discussed the extra cellular matrix of the connective tissue of the human body. We learned that a family of cells, known as fibroblasts, secrete a matrix of macro-molecules - i.e. polysaccharide chains of glycoaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans. The GAGs and proteoglycan molecules form a gel-like substance that helps the body resist compressive forces and allows rapid diffusion of nutrients, hormones, and metabolites between blood and tissue. In addition, the extra-cellular matrix can expand and contract which can inhibit and prevent admission of toxins, poisons, and some viruses and bacteria. In a recent article in the Journal of Applied Nutrition, Mathias Rath, M.D., discussed the extra-cellular matrix of the vascular wall. The article promotes the ypothesis that atherosclerosis is a cellular micronutrient deficiency. (Atherosclerosis is a common form of arteriosclerosis in which fatty substances form a deposit of plaque on the inner lining of arterial walls.) In the Journal of Applied Nutrition, Mathias Rath M.D. explains that mechanically stressed organs such as the heart, skin, and vascular walls, activate a compensating mechanism that provides lipoproteins which “patch” the defect in an attempt to enhance and support structural stability, thus beginning the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Dr. Rath’s research strongly supports the hypothesis that atherosclerosis is a cellular micronutrient deficiency disorder.
