As the saying goes, “if you really want you can fly into space!” This man into space did not want to fly, but he had a great desire to lose weight and he did it! We present you another rousing victory over obesity and overeating! Look how it was his before and after conversion.
Researchers from the University of Maryland (USA) showed in a mouse model that a type of parasitic intestinal worms - roundworms or nematodes - helps reduce weight and has a therapeutic effect on obesity-related metabolic disorders in a host organism.
As previously noted by experts, there is a correlation between the decrease in the level of infection in the population of developed countries and the increasing prevalence of nematodes autoimmune diseases. It is believed that this effect is associated with the ability to reduce the activity of roundworms host immune system, inducing the release of anti-inflammatory Th2-cytokine which ensures survival of parasites themselves. Currently, clinical studies are nematodes therapy of various autoimmune and allergic diseases, including Crohn’s disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis, but their results are not yet known.
With obesity has been shown in previous studies, as is excessive activation of the immune system associated with a chronic inflammatory response in the adipose tissue, accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, leading to disruption of metabolic processes. Due to all these facts, the authors of the study, examining the effect of helminths in obesity, conducted their experiments on mice maintained on the high-calorie diet. As a result, mice that initially had a normal weight, after infection with a type of nematode Nippostrongyrus brasiliensis ten days lost weight by 15 percent. Mice that have suffered from obesity after infection lost 13 percent of body weight. Furthermore, these animals that showed fatty liver (gepatosteatoz) decreased by 25 percent the amount of adipose tissue in the liver. (más…)
