Zusammenfassung

Eine Erkenntnis des berühmten Pathologens Rudolf Virchow ist: Der Mensch ist so alt wie seine Gefäße. Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen sind Todesursache Nummer eins in der deutschen Gesellschaft. Jeder Zweite stirbt daran. In vielen westlichen Ländern ist es genauso: Eine US-Studie mit fast 7000 Personen ergab, dass fast jeder Zweite ein mittleres bis hohes Risiko für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen hat. Auf der anderen Seite finden sich Naturvölker wie die Tsimane, die Wissenschaftler als „Menschen mit den gesündesten Arterien“ bezeichneten. Es zeigt sich, dass der Lebensstil maßgeblichen Anteil daran hat, wie gesund die Gefäße bleiben. Das von dem Nobelpreisträger Louis Ignarro näher beschriebene Gas Stickoxid spielt eine Hauptrolle bei der Gesunderhaltung der Gefäße. Adäquate Konzentrationen dieses Stoffes halten die Gefäße gesund – ein ungesunder Lebensstil senkt die Stickoxidwerte aber. Neuere Untersuchungen zeigen zudem, dass Stickoxid nicht nur die Gesundheit der Gefäße reguliert, sondern auch die Funktionsfähigkeit des Energiestoffwechsels. Damit schützt Stickoxid auch vor Insulinresistenz und Co.
