The unpleasant odor of intestinal gas or flats, composed of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is expelled by the bacteria that live in the human colon, according to a new investigation this action of natural gas in the blood cells in laboratory animals, can help to maintain balanced the pressure in blood.
This effect would arise through the relaxation of the blood vessels which prevent the hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is “without doubt”, produced in the cells that are the blood vessels also human, said the researchers.
The role that we know now plays the hydrogen supplied in regulating blood pressure can make it possible design drug therapies to improve its training as an alternative to the current methods of treatment for hypertension,” said Johns Hopkins neurologist Solomon H. Zinder.
The hydrogen sulfide is the most recently discovered a family of “gasotransmisores”, small molecules within our body, with major physiological functions. Read the rest of this entry »
