The use of hot pepper can be used in the treatment of diabetes and colitis, as scientists have established. This product contains a component that "calms" the intestines, informs health info with reference to medikforum. En.

Diabetes of the first type is an incurable hereditary disorder, but the acute chili pepper, as it turns out, is able to help its victims and even form the basis for creating new methods of treating colitis. When you use pepper in the human body, a component is produced that comes into contact with the receptor of the stomach, thereby calming the intestine. Researchers from the University of Connecticut fed laboratory mice with diabetes chili peppers. It turned out that this product reduced the level of intestinal inflammation, and in some cases even reversed the symptoms of type 1 diabetes.

Pepper came into contact with the TRPV1 receptor, which is contained in the intestines, esophagus and pancreas. After that, the body produced an endogenous cannabinoid neurotransmitter called anandamide, which caused the immune system of mice to calm down by reducing inflammation. The same effect was achieved with the direct use of anandamide.

Reduction of inflammatory processes of the pancreas helps in the treatment of diabetes, since this body is responsible for the production of insulin and the level of sugar in the blood. The victims of diabetes have an excess of sugar, and their pancreas is not able to regulate it.

The results of this study also raise new questions about the relationship of the immune system, intestine and brain. While scientists are still conducting experiments with mice to find out whether anandamide can treat intestinal disorders like colitis.
