Manifestations
|
Increased risk
|
Variations
|
Psychophysiology
Elevated levels of cortisol, a tendency to overproduction of cortisol during stress
|
- Excessive reaction to stress
- Difficulty returning to equilibrium after the stress
- Sleep disorders
- Drowsiness in the daytime
- Suppression of anxiety, hysteria, introversion
- Increased blood viscosity
- Increased risk of overtraining during physical exercise
- The suppression of beneficial microorganisms in the digestive tract
- The suppression of immune function
- Tendency to lose muscle mass and accumulation of fat
|
- Bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder
- Cardiovascular disease
- Insulin resistance, syndrome X, diabetes type 2
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland)
- Cancer
- High level of stress can worsen the course of disease
|
OLDER PEOPLE:
- There is a link between high levels of cortisol and Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia
- Violation of the balance of stress hormones may lead to loss of muscle tissue age |
Digestion
Increased sensitivity of epidermal growth factor
|
- Protects from ulceration
- Promotes the development of excessive quantities of mucus
- Can lead to excessive scar tissue of the esophagus and stomach
|
- Esophagus: Barrett's syndrome
- Cancer of the esophagus
- Respiratory infections
- Gastric cancer
|
CHILDREN:
Excess generation of mucus increases the risk of ear infections |
Low acid content in gastric juice
|
- Shortness proteopepsis
- Blocks the action of digestive enzymes
- Contribute reproduction of microorganisms in the stomach and upper intestine
- May impair absorption of vitamins and minerals
|
- Stomach cancer
- Cholelithiasis
- Jaundice
|
NON-SECRETORS:
Better digestion of proteins due to a higher content of acid in gastric juice
OLDER PEOPLE:
The deterioration of the digestion of animal proteins due to age reduction of gastric juice acidity
|
Lack of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase in the intestine
|
- Increasing levels of cholesterol in the blood, especially the "harmful" (LDL-cholesterol)
- Difficulty digesting fats
|
- Diseases of the coronary arteries
- Osgeoporosis
- Colon cancer
|
NON-SECRETORS:
Several higher level of alkaline phosphatase in the intestine
|
Metabolism
Blood hypercoagulability |
- High blood viscosity, tendency to form thrombi
|
- Diseases of the coronary vessels
- Thrombosis of cerebral vessels
- Worsening of the cancer
|
OLDER PEOPLE:
- Increased risk of stroke because of trombi in the vessels
- Increased risk of blockage of heart vessels
|
Immunity
Low levels of IgA antibodies (immunoglobulin)
|
- Exposure to ear and respiratory infections
- Susceptibility to infections of the gastrointestinal tract
|
- Gluten enteropathy (Herter-Heubner's disease)
- Rheumatoid heart disease
- Kidney diseases
|
NON-SECRETORS:
Increased level of risk compared with secretor, especially in children - increased risk of ear infections
|
Low level of IgA antibody
|
- Promotes the development of asthma and allergy
|
|
|
Tumor markers in structure reminiscent of A-antigen
|
- Decreased activity of lymphocytes
- Reducing the ability of the immune system to recognize "own" and "aliens"
|
- The majority of cancer
