Today even a child knows about the existence of "good" and " bad " cholesterol And that if there is a lot of fatty foods like pies and burgers, then level "bad" cholesterol grow. In turn, this may eventually lead to a narrowing of blood vessels, and various diseases of the cardiovascular system.
However, scientists from the American University of Cincinnati conducted a study during which found that cholesterol "remotely controlled" peptide hormone hunger ghrelin , Which in turn is controlled by the brain. And that could be the basis for the creation of fundamentally new methods of reducing the number of " bad " cholesterol in the blood, because of which people are strokes and heart attacks. Ghrelin controls cholesterol Secreted by the liver.
Today, millions of Russians are taking medicines containing statins to curb cholesterol. American scientists watched as the increased level Ghrelin in mice resulted in an increase " bad " cholesterol in their blood.
Isolation Ghrelin inhibited by substances in the brain that regulate calorie intake and energy expenditure body. When researchers blocked with these agents, then cholesterol in the mice increased, allowing the brain called the "remote control" of the whole system.
These studies are published in the online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience.
