The composition of gut bacteria in the human body may affect the risk of a heart attack, according to a new study led by US scientists led by John Baker.

Researchers have also found that the likelihood of heart disease can be reduced by regulating the intestinal microflora with certain medications, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35.. net Experiments were carried out on rats. The animals were divided into three groups, one of which was fed traditional food, the second group of rodents was fed with an antibiotic in the food of the second group, while probiotics were present in the diet of the third group..

As it turned out, antibiotics and probiotic lactobacilli contributed not only to a change in the composition of the microflora, but also prevented the production of the hormone leptin, which is responsible for appetite and metabolism.. As a result, rats from the second and third groups had an insignificant risk of a heart attack compared to animals from the first group..

Of course, for the time being, one should not rush to draw conclusions that it is enough to regularly consume yogurt for the prevention of heart disease, experts emphasize.. However, they now understand how microbes can impact injury recovery..

According to scientists, their discovery may help in the future to create new methods for diagnosing and treating heart diseases, including the prevention of heart attacks..

A detailed description of the study was published in the scientific publication FASEB Journal.
