■ 세션소개:
In this session, we will present about hypertension, non alcoholic fatty liver disease and Metabolic syndrome and find out whether constitutional types can act as a risk factor for these disease. And our results indicate that Tae-umin herbal formula has neuroprotective effects that are partially mediated by autophagy enhancement. This treatment may be a promising herbal formula for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially PD. Both hereditary and environmental elements are involved in causing metabolic syndrome and degenerative disease, and based on its multifactorial nature, some have suggested the efficacy of a “constitutional” approach in its management. Metabolic syndrome(MS) is significantly associated with increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease (C VD). Since MS is a significant precursor of diabetes and CVD, the constitutional differences in characteristics and prevalence of MS may facilitate improved patient care and prognoses. Sasang constitutional type could explain the variability in individual susceptibilities to hypertension, suggesting a novel constitution-based approach to hypertension. And our study suggest that the prevention of Non alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is more important in the Taeeum type compared to other constitutional types. Our session suggests that the prevention of many chronic diseases-such as MS, hypertension, Non alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) and degenerative disease. Moreover, preventive measures are warranted even a special constitution with noclinical manifestations.
