In liver diseases, there is always damage to the membranes of liver cells and their organelles, which leads to disruption of the activity of enzymes and receptor systems associated with them, a deterioration in the functional activity of liver cells and a decrease in the ability to regenerate.Phospholipids, which are part of Essentiale® forte N, correspond in their chemical structure to endogenous phospholipids, but surpass endogenous phospholipids in activity due to their higher content of polyunsaturated (essential) fatty acids. The incorporation of these high-energy molecules into damaged areas of hepatocyte cell membranes restores the integrity of liver cells and promotes their regeneration. The cis-double bonds of their polyunsaturated fatty acids prevent the parallel arrangement of hydrocarbon chains in the phospholipids of cell membranes, the phospholipid structure of the cell membranes of hepatocytes is “loosened”, which leads to an increase in their fluidity and elasticity, and improves metabolism. The resulting functional blocks increase the activity of enzymes fixed on the membranes and contribute to the normal, physiological pathway of the most important metabolic processes.Phospholipids, which are part of Essentiale® Forte, regulate the metabolism of lipoproteins, transferring neutral fats and cholesterol to the sites of oxidation, mainly by increasing the ability of high density lipoproteins to bind to cholesterol.Thus, there is a normalizing effect on the metabolism of lipids and proteins; on the detoxification function of the liver; to restore and preserve the cellular structure of the liver and phospholipid-dependent enzyme systems; which ultimately prevents the formation of connective tissue in the liver and promotes the natural recovery of liver cells.With the excretion of phospholipids into bile, the lithogenic index decreases and bile stabilizes.In patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, the use of essential phospholipids in controlled randomized clinical trials led to a significant reduction in the degree of steatosis.In clinical and observational studies, against the background of the use of Essentiale® Forte N in patients with chronic liver diseases, there was an improvement in the general condition and symptoms, such as increased fatigue / weakness, decreased appetite, pain or discomfort in the abdomen, a feeling of early satiety, a feeling of fullness or heaviness after food, bloating, nausea. Significant improvement in symptoms was seen in studies as early as 4 weeks (30 days) of therapy.The use of essential phospholipids in controlled and observational studies in patients with psoriasis led to a regression of psoriatic rashes, a decrease in the psoriasis prevalence and severity index (PASI). The addition of essential phospholipids to PUVA therapy made it possible to achieve faster remission while reducing the total dose of ultraviolet radiation.PharmacokineticsMore than 90% of ingested phospholipids are absorbed in the small intestine. Most of them are cleaved by phospholipase A to 1-acyl-lysophosphatidylcholine, 50% of which immediately undergoes reverse acetylation into polyunsaturated phosphatidylcholi
