The stench in farts can control BP

A naturally produced ‘rotten egg’ gas can help control high blood pressure

in people, a new study has suggested. The unpleasant aroma of the gas,

called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.

 

The new research found that cells lining mice’s blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents’ blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.
