Research to protect against microcirculatory damage and oxidative stress
Blood vessels are dynamic structures with complex self-regulation mechanisms. However, various factors can compromise their functions and favour microcirculatory disorders and neurovascular conditions, such as chronic venous insufficiency. The main causes include: neuroinflammation, venous obstruction, hypertension, muscle-vein pump dysfunction.
These are often associated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes and prolonged immobility. The consequences of vascular damage range from changes in skin pigmentation and eczema to more serious disorders, such as vascular ulcers.
Some pathological conditions, such as diabetes and chronic hypertension, and paraphysiological ones, such as menopause and stress situations, can affect peripheral vascular function, leading to inflammation and subsequent microcirculation dysfunction.
Our scientific research paves the way for both topical and systemic approaches. These strategies counteract neuroinflammatory states and local oxidative stress in accordance with biological regulation mechanisms to help patients affected by neurovascular conditions.
