Bananas contain a substance that can protect against immunodeficiency.
At the University of Michigan in the United States, scientists have conducted a number of studies and came to an important and grandiose conclusion.
Bananas contain substances – lectins.
Proteins that in concentrated form present in the composition of bananas and are used for making drugs which can protect women from HIV.
What is so useful lectins for the human body?
The fact that lectins, which are derived from bananas that can prevent mutations in the body, which, in turn, lead to the HIV virus and prevent the body to deal with it.
Scientists also claim that this use of fruit, but rather the substance they contained, for the manufacture of medicines will be much cheaper than many existing medicines. And even if the effectiveness of such tools, you can compete, the drugs, which contain lectins, still more than two million cases can prevent HIV infection.
It is believed that the most effective in preventing the transmission of HIV infection in the female body will be vaginal drugs based on lectins. This substance has a positive effect on the protein shell that surrounds the genetic material of HIV.
As scientists say, the method of using lectins for drug development against HIV infection may become the new trend in medicine, as is now keenly felt the lack of development.
