The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure

A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.

The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.

The new research found that cells lining mice's blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents' blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is "no doubt" produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.

"Now that we know hydrogen sulfide's role in regulating blood pressure, it may be possible to design drug therapies that enhance its formation as an alternative to the current methods of treatment for hypertension," said Johns Hopkins neuroscientist Solomon H. Snyder, M.D., a co-author of the study detailed in the Oct. 24th issue of the journal Science.

Snyder and his colleagues compared normal mice to mice that were missing a gene for an enzyme known as CSE, long suspected as being responsible for making hydrogen sulfide. As they measured hydrogen sulfide levels taken from tissues of the CSE-deficient mice, the scientists found that the gas was depleted in the cardiovascular systems of the altered mice. By contrast, normal mice had higher levels of the gas, thereby showing that hydrogen sulfide is naturally made by mammalian tissues using CSE.

Next, the mice were subjected to higher blood pressures comparable to serious hypertension in humans. Scientists had them respond to a chemical called methacholine that relaxes normal blood vessels. The blood vessels of the CSE-lacking mice hardly relaxed, indicating that hydrogen sulfide is a huge contender for regulating blood pressure.

Hydrogen sulfide is the most recently discovered member of a family of gasotransmitters, small molecules inside our bodies with important physiological functions.

This study is the first to reveal that the CSE enzyme that triggers hydrogen sulfide is activated itself in the same way as other enzymes when they trigger their respective gasotransmitter, such as a nitric oxide-forming enzyme that also regulates blood pressure, Dr. Snyder said.

Because gasotransmitters are common in mammals all over the evolutionary tree, these findings on the importance of hydrogen sulfide are thought to have broad applications to human diseases, such as diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.

The research was supported by grants from the U.S. Public Health Service and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as well as a Research Scientist Award.

Well there you have it folks, stink away.

SoguRacing · 10-28-2008, 05:10 PM

Next person to post an NWS link will be banned.

RJF warned you already.

Walperstyle · 10-28-2008, 08:56 PM

would you guys believe I have a H2S safety ticket? That same gas is located underground and can kill very easy if you work in the oil industry. 10 parts per million smells like the worst fart in the world, and you should leave the area. That amount for a couple hours can cause death. I have heard of some lease sights with over 1000ppm where the crew has to work with scott packs the entire shift. Try that in 90+ degree weather.

lol ironic. I just ripped a massivly smelly one. It even made me kinda gag. I must have hypotension.

muddafakka · 10-28-2008, 09:18 PM

I remember one time in high school during my freshman year I let one silently rip in the hallway and goddamn did it stink. These girls who were walking by gagged and went crazy. It was priceless. Half the hallway got cleared out. I played along with it by acting disgusted hahaha.

SittinSideways86 · 10-28-2008, 09:23 PM

I went to school with this kid that had turrettes and he farted in class and it smelled like rotten oranges mixed with cheese pizza. That shit could have cured cancer.

SittinSideways86 · 10-28-2008, 09:24 PM

apparently it didnt cure turrettes though
