Prevents arteries from hardening

Explanation

Hirudin is the most studied component of leech saliva. It is a powerful anticoagulant / blood-thinner which prevents unhealthy blood clotting, reduces blood viscosity and improves blood circulation throughout the body.
Destabilase in leech saliva cleans blood by dissolving blood clots and thrombus and prevents formation of new ones. It lengthens the blood clotting time and has strong anti-aggregating properties causing decomposition of clotted blood.
Apyrase – cleans blood vessels by dissolving cholesterol plaques on vessel walls and prevents arteries from hardening. It determines the anti-sclerotic effect of leech saliva. Apyrase increases the activity of the lipoprotein lipase enzyme that decreases the total cholesterol and low-density betalipoproteins levels which lead to formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the blood vessels.
Hualuronidase smoothes the inner walls of blood vessels which helps the blood flow. It also improves microcirculation by promoting the formation of new capillaries
Histamine-like substances in leech saliva have antispasmodic effect thanks to vasodilator agent that causes arteries to dilate which eases the blood flow.
