Pantethine.net - Lower and block cholesterol naturally!   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Pantethine is the active form of pantothenic acid. The name "pantothenic," from which the word "pantethine" is drawn, literally means "something that is found everywhere." It may not be literally everywhere, but pantethine and pantothenic acid are found in most foods, including vegetables, dairy, eggs, grains, and meat. Although Pantethine is derived from pantothenic acid, pantethine is not the same as pantothenic acid, and it is important to remember that the two substances are not interchangeable. www.pantethine.net   (494 words)

Pantethine Research and Studies Pantethine (P), the stable disulphate form of pantetheine, major component and precursor of coenzyme A, was evaluated within a double-blind protocol (8 weeks for P or for a corresponding placebo) in 29 patients, 11 with type IIB hyperlipoproteinemia, 15 with type IV, and 3 with an isolated reduction of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Pantethine in a dosage of 600 mg for the first 3 months, and in a dosage of 1200 mg for the second 6 months was given to 16 diabetics in whom plasma beta-thromboglobulin was raised (greater than 50 ng/ml). Pantethine induced in all groups a quick and progressive decrease of cholesterolemia, triglyceridemia, LDL cholesterol and Apolipoproteins B with increased HDL cholesterol and Apolipoproteins A. After suspending the treatment, there is a clear inversion of the state of these parameters. pantethine.net /herbal-remedies/pantethine/pantethine-clinical-studies   (3207 words)

Pantethine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) Cysteamine, a cysteine derivative formed from the degradation of pantethine, is known to cause depletion of somatostatin, prolactin, and noradrenaline in the brain and peripheral tissues. Clinical results of pantethine supplementation are impressive, and because the coenzymes which utilize pantethine for their metabolic activity are utilized in over 70 biochemical reactions affecting a wide variety of cellular functions, it is very likely that only the tip of the iceberg of the therapeutic potential of pantethine has been discovered.

Pantethine Pantethine is the disulfide dimer of pantetheine, the 4'-phosphate derivative of which is an intermediate in the conversion of the B vitamin pantothenic acid to coenzyme A (see Pantothenic Acid). One possibility is that pantethine may inhibit the formation of protein aggregates in the lens of the eye by forming mixed disulfides with cysteine residues of certain lens proteins. In the liver, some pantethine is reduced to pantetheine and the pantetheine pool in that organ is metabolized to coenzyme A. There appears to be significant first-pass extraction, as well as first-pass metabolism, of pantethine by the liver. www.pdrhealth.com /drug_info/nmdrugprofiles/nutsupdrugs/pan_0195.shtml   (1787 words)
