To combat the obesity: to avoid that the stomach expands

British scientists of the University of London have discovered a possible form of combatting the obesity: to avoid that the stomach expands.

As you publish the magazine Journal of Pharmacology Experimental and Therapeutics, the scientists reached this conclusion when identifying two cellular proteins that "relax" the digestive tract and they help you to adapt a big meal. This you could avoid with a drug that is able to lock this relaxation, and avoids this way the hyperalimentation.

To day of today, the actual only therapeutical tool with which we count for the obese morbid patient you are the surgery, for that reason this discovery could facilitate the things a lot, offering a new focus to combat this illness.

The two proteins that identified, P2Y1 and P2Y11, control so much the dilatory relaxations as quick of the digestive tract. The human stomach has "in rest" an interior volume of 0,75 lítros, but when you relax your muscular wall it can expand to an interior volume of two liters or more.

This expansion is controlled by ledges inside the stomach wall that you/they release molecules that you/they boost the proteins P2Y1 and P2Y11. If we achieve drugs able to lock the receiver of P2Y11 we would avoid the dilatory relaxation of the stomach, offering a person the possibility to regulate your alimentary usage.

Gastritis

You are designated with the term gastritis, to a series of alterations of inflammatory-degenerative type d mucous ela of the stomach. They are multiple and varied the lawsuits that can unchain a gastritis. So much so that, nowadays it is not considered as a specific illness of the stomach; of here that the generic name of gastritis goes always accompanied of the lawsuit or lawsuits that provoke it; for example, you are spoken of a gastritis in you ulcerate her of stomach, gastritis in the stomach cancer, gastritis in the alcoholics, among other.

They have become numerous classifications of the gastritis. The most practical classifies them in two big groups: acute gastritis and gastritis chronicles.

The acute gastritis can be exogenous or endogenous. The acute exogenous gastritis or gastritis irritativas are produced by any kinds of chemical, thermal irritant, mechanic or bacterial that can be ingested by the mouth. The most frequent are the foods and extremely warm or cold drinks, the pungent ones, the sauces, the spices type mustard, as well as the medicines with the help of salicylates, chlorides, iodides and bromides. As special cases, we should remember the corrosive gastritis, for ingestion of corrosive substances, as well as the allergic gastritis, of alimentary, bacterial or chemical origin, caused by hiper sensitization from the mucosa to these substances. As for the acute gastritis of endogenous type, you are to redial those that take place in the path of the septic processes in general, among those that it are necessary the gastritis that you/they are observed in the path of the scarlet fever, the measles, and the typhus-paratyphoid illnesses to highlight; they can, even, to take place hemorrhagic gastritis, like in the path of the yellow fever.

Now then, the gastritis chronicles, they are different. Amtes was believed that when the lawsuits irritativasz persisted during long time, the acute gastritis became chronic gastritis. This is in detuning with the clinical observation that demonstrate that many cases of chronic gastritis didn't enter antecedent irritativos that you/they explain to it. Currently he/she is enjoying great accept the hypothesis of an immunologic mechanism.
