Research by Pariza's team now suggests that CLA may also prove beneficial in treating cachexia, a wasting that occurs when the body catabolizes -- burns up -- muscle in an attempt to meet the high energy demands of fighting certain chronic diseases, such as malaria or cancer. In addition, certain HIF-PH inhibitors have been found to upregulate heme oxygenase-1, which catabolizes free heme that would otherwise limit nitric oxide bioavailability and contribute to vaso-occlusive ischemic crises in SCD patients. |
