Nerve sensors in blood vessels will send the brain the signals
to fix malfunction and better regulate blood pressure
The principal study investigator Frank Abboud, professor of internal medicine and biophysics from the University of Iowa said:
“Sensors in your body’s blood vessels sense when your blood pressure goes up, for instance, when you get mad at someone. These built-in sensors perceive the change and trigger a nearly instantaneous adjustment by sending signals to the brain, which in turn tells the blood vessels how to adjust “.
Abboud, excited with the findings, added:
“By knowing more about what makes these sensors — known as baroreceptors — malfunction, we may be able to find ways to make them work properly and prevent high blood pressure.”
Simply put, the researchers discovered how the key protein can help regulate blood pressure and even prevent it in the future when enough knowledge will be gathered.
This is a significant breakthrough in the study of hypertension or high blood pressure. It seems like there is no more need after looking for medications and synthetically produced chemicals riddled with side frightening effects.
There is a very good reason to believe that cure is reachable and God created everything we need on this earth to heal ourselves naturally. Not with drugs and chemicals.
This new study shows on animal models that a protein aids nerve sensors in blood vessels and helps them to send the signal to the brain to widen the blood vessels and keep blood pressure (BP) in the safe range of 120/80 mmHg.
ASIC2 is the protein channel that helps the sensors in blood vessels to send the brain the signals it needs to properly regulate and control BP.
As we said earlier, this finding is more than just important breakthrough… Maybe this time scientist could use this to create new natural treatments to prevent high BP or hypertension in the future.
