Resolving action of hyaluronidase is of particular importance in the treatment of diseases involving scarring and adhesion process .
Destabilaza E cleaves lysine communication stabilized fibrin ( which is important for thrombus resorption ) and E - lysine links between different proteins ( this bonding noted in several pathological states , such as cataract lens ) .
Hirudin is a substance that slows blood clotting , has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects . It is also indispensable to prevent the formation of blood clots.
Eglin ( protease inhibitors) can reduce inflammation and tissue damage in such diseases as rheumatoid arthritis , gout , pulmonary emphysema , etc.
In addition to curing a particular disease , the leech has a beneficial effect on the whole body ( improved sleep , appetite, mood-altering normal metabolism and immunity) . To some extent , this is a consequence of the normalization of blood flow in tissues and increase blood oxygen saturation .
