Top Medical Research Studies

We examined how nattokinase affects the progression of atherosclerosis and related biomarkers in a double-blind trial involving 265 participants averaging 65 years old, who had no cardiovascular disease. Participants received either nattokinase or a placebo for three years.

Our findings revealed that nattokinase had no significant effect on subclinical atherosclerosis progression, blood pressure, or other laboratory measures. This indicates that nattokinase may not provide the anticipated cardiovascular benefits in healthy individuals at low risk for heart disease.

Nattokinase nanoparticles show promise
We explored how nattokinase (NK), a strong clot-buster, can be delivered effectively using NK-conjugated magnetite nanoparticles (NK-MNPs). These nanoparticles were designed to release NK directly at the site of a thrombus and showed promising results in sustained release and thrombolytic potential.

After encapsulating NK, the nanoparticles demonstrated a successful release rate and maintained their efficacy even after storage. However, while the findings are encouraging, they suggest that NK-MNPs may not be a definitive solution but instead a promising avenue for further research into treating thrombus-related diseases.

Nattokinase nanorobots improve blood flow
We explored an innovative approach to treating blood clots using specially designed magnetic nanorobots that deliver nattokinase directly to targeted areas. These tiny robots are not only able to navigate through blood vessels but also use a combination of magnetic fields to break down clots effectively.

In a study involving thrombotic mice, these nattokinase-loaded nanorobots showed an impressive vasculature recanalization rate of 81%. This dual approach of mechanical damage and heat-triggered nattokinase release represents a significant advancement in noninvasive thrombolytic therapy.

We investigated the effectiveness of nattokinase in managing carotid artery atherosclerosis and blood lipids over a 26-week treatment with 82 patients in two groups: one receiving nattokinase and the other statins. Both groups showed reductions in carotid plaque size and artery thickness, with the nattokinase group experiencing notably larger reductions.

While both treatments improved lipid profiles, the statin group saw more significant cholesterol reductions. Notably, nattokinase increased HDL levels, showing promise as a potential alternative to statins in managing atherosclerosis, though its effects appear unrelated to lipid changes.
We examined how nattokinase affects the progression of atherosclerosis and related biomarkers in a double-blind trial involving 265 participants averaging 65 years old, who had no cardiovascular disease. Participants received either nattokinase or a placebo for three years.

Nattokinase shows promise in thrombosis
We explored the potential of nattokinase (NK) in tackling cardiovascular disease, particularly its ability to address thrombosis—an ongoing challenge due to the risks of bleeding from traditional treatments.

Our research demonstrated that NK not only alleviated inflammation and oxidative stress in mouse models but also improved kidney health affected by inflammation.

NK showed remarkable effects by inhibiting key inflammatory responses and reducing harmful proteins related to clot formation. While its promise is evident in early research, further studies are necessary to fully understand its benefits for human cardiovascular health.
