The safety of your intestines is the health of your heart

In a study that is expected to help significantly determine the cause of advanced-stage disease, US experts have concluded that there is a close relationship between the health of blood vessels and the intestines. How does the study explain this?

It's no secret that as you get older, your blood vessels become normal, increasing your risk of cardiovascular disease. To find out why, a team of researchers from the United States led a study whose results have recently been revealed.

In this regard, the study, published by the University of Colorado at Boulder, that changes in the microbiology of the natural gut negatively affect the health of the heart and blood vessels as you age, indicates the site "Hail Praxis", German quote. A study published in the journal "Journal of Physiology".

The results were based on a study of small and large mice, where the experts gave these animals antibiotics to kill the bacteria living in the intestines of these mice. The experts then measured vascular and blood concentrations in the mouse.

The University of Colorado Boulder website said that after three weeks, experts noted that no changes in vascular health had occurred in small mice. In older mice, experts noted a strong improvement at all levels.

"When intestinal microbiomes were avoided in older mice, these animals regained the vascular health of young mice," said study supervisor, Doug Sills. "It says a lot about the microorganisms that cause dysfunction of blood vessels."

The German DW website pointed out that, to identify the bacterium responsible for cardiovascular disease, the experts had also examined the feces of large and small mouse mice, adding that old mouse samples contained a large number of destructive microbes, trimmings or proteopectric.

The experts also noted that older mice had high levels of trichromylamine oxide, a metabolite that, according to previous studies, increased the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.

"We now suspect that it's an age issue," said study supervisor Doug Sills. "Microbiology begins to produce toxic molecules that enter the blood, causing inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage."
