As scientists have found, regular use of the well-known hot pepper protects our liver from damage. It’s possible due to the presence in the vegetable substance of capsaicin, which gives hot pepper.
In the course of experiments conducted on mice, scientists divided animals into two groups. The rodents from the first group were bandaged bile ducts, as a result of which they had an accumulation of urine and fibrosis of the liver developed. Then biologists for three days gave experimental animals capsaicin.
Rodents from the second group were exposed to carbon tetrachloride – poisonous substance that is filled with fire extinguishers and which contained in cleaning products. Mouse capsaicin was given before poison treatment and during it.
As it turned out, capsaicin partially restored liver tissue in animals of the first group and prevented damage in mice second group.
Research data indicate the need to investigate capsaicin, which can be successfully used for prevention and treatment of injuries, as well as liver fibrosis, scientists say.
Note: fibrosis is an unnatural proliferation in the liver connective tissue, which occurs, as a rule, with a large the accumulation of proteins, the so-called extracellular matrix (basics any connective tissue). This is most often observed when excessive consumption of alcohol and fatty foods, as well as with various infectious diseases. For this reason, the use of hot pepper is useful to almost everyone who thinks about your health, especially living in a city where our liver, as they say, “strikes are coming” from all sides …
