Book Description

One of our body proteins, alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) acts as a life saving molecule which is not known yet in our medical science. Since the creation of the universe, the Creator has endowed not only us, but all living creatures, with an immune system which allows us to survive by protecting us from the attacks of numerous pathogens. When the ability of this immune system is reduced, our bodies cannot stay healthy. The life saving function of A2M for all living creations in the world is not yet came to the light of science. A2M is a broad spectrum protease inhibitor that inhibits any type of protease and keep us healthy without our knowledge. To prove the vital role of life saving function, protease and A2M levels were tested in the blood of patients for a comparative efficiency study of A2M and proteases in patients' blood. It was observed that all of the patients had very low levels of A2M: about a quarter of the normal amount. At the same time, quite expectedly, it was found that the efficiency of protease activity in the blood was increased (about nine times of the usual level). This test results, was published from Bangladesh: Khan MM, Muqueet MA, Hossain I, Khan ME, Shibli MH, Mustavi I Hossain M, Hossain ME. (2016). Measurement of protease activity and concentration of a broad spectrum protease inhibitor; alpha 2 macroglobulin (A2M) in plasma of severely chronic ill patients in Bangladesh. J Clin & Exp Pathol.
