The digestion of food is a complex process and millions of different types of bacteria are  one part of the process that help get the job done

That said, there are a number of bacterium present in a healthy bowel that perform the unexpected function of helping suppress gut pain. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 researcher (Department of Medicine and Department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences) Alan Lomax is studying how that bacterium could be the secret to suppressing pain for people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

To support the five-year project, Dr. Lomax, who is also scientist at Kingston Health Sciences Centre카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Gastrointestinal Diseases Research Unit, has been awarded $790,000 from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to study how the presence of some human gut microbes can help modulate the pain of IBD such as Crohn카지노 게임 컬렉션�s disease and ulcerative colitis.  Canada has the highest rate of IBD in the world.

The project builds on his group카지노 게임 컬렉션�s discovery that the pain suppressing bacterium is present in healthy bowels.  This bacterium is missing in many patients with IBD, which may remove a brake on the pain that these patients experience. Their research has also shown that other gut microbes from patients with IBD can produce substances that cause pain.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�A number of studies have showed that this pain-relieving bacterium is absent in patients with IBD,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Lomax.. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll identify what chemicals those bacteria are producing, and whether those secretions could be used to relieve pain.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The research team will also use metagenomics analysis to understand how the changes in microbiota in patients with IBD lead to worsening pain. Ultimately the researchers hope to develop a microbe-based treatment for IBD that is a safer and more effective alternative to existing opioid pain medications.

The study is part of a growing body of research that has linked gut microbes to several illnesses including depression, anxiety, diabetes, autism, and even cancer.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�These bacteria have all sorts of influences around the body,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Lomax says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The more we understand about how these microbes affect health, the more we can move towards designing new treatments that target these microbes.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
