Doctors have found another way to deal with hypertension
During laboratory experiments on rats experts found that the deactivation of certain nerves in the neck can effectively deal with high blood pressure. Experts say that high blood pressure - is one of the most common diseases in modern humans. Experts from the University of Bristol in the UK say that rats with high blood pressure could deactivate the nerves between the brain and the so-called carotid body - a small bundle of no more than a grain of rice on each side of the carotid arteries, the blood pressure of the animal fell and remained low. ABOUT professionals reported their findings in the current issue of the scientific journal Nature Communications.
The article said that in the near future they are going to test on a small group of human volunteers and to report by the end of the year. The World Health Organization said that hypertension, or high blood pressure - is one of the most dangerous "silent killers" of the modern people. Many people do not know and do not feel pressurized, but for the body is increased nragruzka and direct path to stroke, heart attack or kidney failure.
Many people have high blood pressure all my life to take pharmacological agents, artificially lowering the pressure, but the effect of the current drugs are not universal: approximately every 50th person they do not work. Julian Paton, author of the study, said that experts have previously established a link between the body and the sleepy regulation of pressure, but still a communication mechanism was not obvious and there was no clear evidence of neural link between blood pressure and to the micro-organ.
However, he Paton said that while the results were not carried out on a sufficiently large number of volunteers to be able to talk about the universal effect. Scientists suspect that somehow sleepy body regulates blood oxygen saturation, and has long been known that, depending on the level of oxygen saturation and pressure may fluctuate.
