SAM-E
: From Europe, with Love
An
antidepressant
that also
eases
arthritis
and
detoxifies
the body?
That's
what some
researchers
are saying
about
SAM-E
,
a
substance
which
recently
gained
public
attention
in the
United
States
because of
its use
abroad and
many
positive
studies.
Italian
researchers
have
shown
that
SAM-E may be
as
effective
for
treating
osteoarthritis
as the
popular
anti-inflammatory
drugs
ibuprofen
(Motrin,
Advil)
and
naproxen
(Naprosyn,
Aleve).
And
because
it's a
naturally
occurring
molecule
found in
virtually
all body
tissues
and
fluids,
it tends
to cause
fewer
side
effects
than
synthesized
drugs.
It may
also
inhibit
leukotrienes,
a
substance
that
regulates
inflammation.
SAM-e
also has
been
shown to
improve
the
condition
of
people
with
liver-function
problems
such as
stoppage
of bile
flow
(also
known as
cholestasis).
Bile
helps
the
liver
break
down
poisonous
chemicals.
SAM-e is
believed
to
promote
liver-cell
secretion,
which in
turn
increases
bile
production.
It may
also
prevent
or
reverse
liver
damage
due to
alcohol,
acetaminophen,
steroid
drugs,
and
lead.
And in
August
1998,
SAM-e
was
designated
by the
U.S.
Food and
Drug
Administration
(FDA) as
an
"orphan
drug"
for the
treatment
of
AIDS-related
myelopathy
(a
disease
of the
spinal
cord).
Produced
primarily
by the
liver,
SAM-e
plays an
important
role in
the
building
of brain
chemicals
such as
serotonin,
dopamine,
and
norepinephrine.
Low
levels
of these
neurotransmitters
are
linked
to
depression.
SAM-e
also is
a
building
block
for
cysteine,
glutathione,
and
taurine
--
potent
natural
antioxidants
produced
within
the
body. It
also
promotes
the
creation
of
compounds
essential
for
proper
cell
growth.
From
these
varied
functions
come
SAM-e's
many
different
uses.
Potential
uses of
SAM-e
include
the
treatment
of
Alzheimer's
disease,
migraine
headaches,
sleep
irregularities,
alcoholism,
fibromyalgia,
Parkinson's
disease,
peripheral
neuropathy,
and
insulin-dependent
diabetes
mellitus.
