According to the US researchers, the gas that comes out with many stink bombs may also play a role to control blood pressure.

The foul odor of flatulence is the result of those small amounts of hydrogen sulphide that are generated by bacteria live in the human gut.

However, it appears that the gas can also be produced by an enzyme that is found in blood vessels.

The tests in mice may help to find some new treatments for high blood pressure, the Science journal says.

Researchers from John Hopkins University, Maryland, discovered that the gas was generated in the cells along with blood vessels by an enzyme named CSE.

The researchers engineered the mice to be deficient in this enzyme and they found that levels of hydrogen sulphide were quite reduces in a comparison with normal mice.

“Childhood-Obesity” increases the probability of premature heart attacks and strokes. Children are growing with obesity and this has become a worldwide concern now. “Childhood-Obesity” is no less than a growing epidemic.

Findings of two successive studies brought out recently reveal that the potential impact of childhood obesity must be viewed with two inter-related perspectives. One of these two studies examined and analyzed the effects of excess weight from childhood to the adulthood. This study evaluated the track records of more than 250,000 youngsters who were examined in the year 1930.

Second study applied latest techniques including digital crystal ball of computer modeling. Findings of this studies resulted in to the predicting that the probability of increase of the deaths due to heart attacks could rise up by 1.9%.This increase in the rate of deaths may have a beginning at an average age of 35 years.

Findings of a five year study conducted by experts of the ‘American Heart Association’ reveal that the patients with hypertension have better control over the ‘Blood Pressure (BP)’ during the summer time in comparison to the winter season.

The study observed a difference of 8% in the rate of the ‘Blood Pressure (BP)’ coming to normal range in cases where the patients were treated in the summer season comparing to the patients who were treated during the winters. This difference of rate of returning normalcy proved to be true over a wide range of geographic locations and various climatic conditions.

“The bottom line is that regardless of whether you’re in Anchorage, Alaska, or San Juan, Puerto Rico, there is a difference in high BP returning to normal in the winter compared to the summer,” commented Ross Fletcher of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, USA.
