Intestinal flora increase the risk of heart disease and strokes

On the intestinal flora some food for compound causes hardening of the arteries and narrows the blood, where scientists have discovered certain types of bacteria are able to convert "lecithin," a food item in the egg yolk, liver, beef and wheat to the substance that causes blockage of the blood vessels, and this article known as the "oxide three methyl Secretary ".



Says Dr. Stanley Hazen, director of the Center for Medicine and cell molecules at the Cleveland Clinic: "You can calibrate the" Tri oxide Secretary "in the blood to predict the occurrence of heart attacks, strokes and death and separately from the risk factors for heart disease and other vessels."

He suggested Hazen Add calibrate this article to the list of tests conducted to investigate the risk factors for cardiovascular disease, where it can be to this article alone to identify people who have a risk of heart attacks and strokes even if they do not have any another risk factor.

It also found a previous study conducted in 2011 that rats are able to convert "lecithin" material "oxide three tend Secretary", and that people who have high levels of this article were more susceptible to heart disease.

But this study did not confirm that the intestinal flora in humans is capable of converting the article "lecithin" material "tri-oxide metel Secretary", such as those found in the intestines of mice.

The Hazen and his team to give 40 a two eggs Msellouktin adult contain a large amount of "lecithin", and then they calibrate the "tri-oxide metel secretary" in their blood and noticed it rose after eating Awhittin.

Later give people antibiotics for a week, and when you repeat the experiment after it was found that the amount of "oxide Tri-Metal secretary" did not rise after eating Awhittin, indicating that the intestinal flora in humans can convert "lecithin" to "oxide tri tend Secretary."

The researchers also calibrate this article at the 4007 people who have heart disease, and the result was that this article is associated with the occurrence of heart attacks, stroke and death during the study period, which lasted 3 years.

The researchers also discovered at the Cleveland Clinic that germs capable of converting other material which is "carnitine" and found in red meat and dairy products to "oxide three tend Secretary" as well.

Based on the results of this study, Hazen said he "can prevent heart disease and stroke to ease eating egg yolks, red meat, and also can change the nature of the intestinal flora through the effective use of yeasts and bacteria useful."

The use of antibiotics to get rid of these germs is considered impractical way; due to the possibility of resistance against antibiotics when these germs.
