Could gut bacteria play a role in high blood pressure?
In this Spotlight feature, Scientists investigate whether the bacteria that live in our guts could influence our blood pressure. If so, could they guide future treatment?
Scientists are growing interested in the role of gut bacteria.
Every week, journal’s publish lot’s study papers that examine how these microscopic visitors might play a role in health and disease.
As it stands why because the microbiome is a relatively new field of study and the full scope of gut bacteria's role in health is still up for debate.
However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the bacteria in our gut can open new avenues in our understanding of a wide range of conditions.
Scientists have learned about the role of gut bacteria in conditions as varied as obesity, Parkinson's disease, depression, and blood pressure.
This Spotlight focuses on their role in hypertension. Elevated blood pressure causes risk factor for cardiovascular disease and it affects almost 1 in 3 adults in the United States.
Because of all of this, it is vital that medical scientists unearth the various mechanisms that underpin blood pressure regulation.
