The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure
The Stink in Farts Controls Blood Pressure
A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.
"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. http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20081023/sc_livescience/thestinkinfartscontrolsbloodpressure

I wonder how many millions were wasted on mice fart research! It does kinda put a whole new spin on silent but deadly!!

Probably not as much as was wasted¹ on studying all those fruit flies!
¹In her first policy speech, Sarah Palin decried the waste of govt. money on studying fruit flies. Ironically, one of the main points of her speech was to talk about helping children with disabilities. Too bad she didn't know that the fruitfly research is helping kids with autism.

She's not a scientist or a physican, I¹ wasn't aware of any fruitfly research that is helping kids with autism either.
¹Sippy you're ate up with this political sh!t and one of the best arm chair campaign managers I've ever met. Relax and try not to make every post political, especially on light
fartedhearted threads like this one!The other PINK meat!

Not to mention you missed the silent but deadly remark...check, hello, test, is this thing on?

I didn't miss it.
My point is that if you're going to cut funding on research, you'd damn well better know what the heck it is you're cutting. You and I don't need to know the benefits of fruit fly research, but if we're in a position to cut the funding of it, we should.
Yes, politics and this election is very much on my mind. I believe this election is critical so I take it very seriously.
As far as your two comments about armchair quarterbacking.....so? I stated my "opinion" about the clothes issue. It's just that, an opinion. I didn't state it as fact. We all have our opinions and last time I checked, we have the right to express them. No?
In summary, GET OFF MY ASS, SALMON!!!
