Ilona Warf's blog ::Superoxide dismutases in the lung and human lung diseases










There               are               many               amazing               things               about               the               body               that               most               people               don't               know.

Take,               for               instance,               the               fact               that               there               are               more               bacteria               in               our               bodies               than               there               are               human               cells.

Most               people               think               of               the               heart               as               just               a               muscle               that               pumps               blood,               but               in               reality,               it               also               produces               hormones               like               a               gland               as               well.

Most               also               think               that               the               tonsils               and               the               appendix               are               useless.

But               they               both               serve               a               function.

The               appendix               played               a               huge               role               back               in               prehistoric               times               when               it               was               essentially               a               filter               that               took               poisons               out               of               the               digestive               tract.

The               tonsils               play               a               role               in               the               immune               system.

They               are               like               the               appendix               was               by               removing               infection               out               of               the               bloodstream.
               Until               not               too               long               ago,               most               people               did               not               know               that               good               oral               health               had               something               to               do               with               your               heart               being               healthy.

Inflammation               in               your               mouth               can               cause               inflammation               in               your               arteries               and               that               can               scar               them               and               cause               plaques               to               form.

These               can               lead               to               a               heart               attack.
               Now               we               learn               that               the               lungs               have               taste               receptors.

That's               right,               taste               receptors.

I've               always               known               that               smell               plays               an               important               role               in               taste,               but               the               lungs?

No               way.
               According               to               the               St.

Louis               Post               Dispatch:               "The               ability               to               taste               isn't               limited               to               the               mouth,               and               researchers               say               that               discovery               might               one               day               lead               to               better               treatments               for               diseases               such               as               asthma.

It               turns               out               that               receptors               for               bitter               tastes               are               also               found               in               the               smooth               muscles               of               the               lungs               and               airways"
               Bitter               tastes               cause               these               muscles               to               relax,               which               might               in               turn               help               the               asthma.

Maybe               that's               why               an               extremely               bitter               substance               like               Wormwood,               which               is               used               to               make               the               alcoholic               drink               Absinthe,               can               have               an               immediate               cloying               effect               on               the               lungs.
               Originally,               it               was               thought               that               the               hereditary               reason               for               having               taste               receptors               in               the               lungs               may               be               because               many               plants               and               animals               that               are               poisonous               produce               a               bitter               taste               when               you               encounter               them               or               taste               them.

That               taste               may               produce               a               "flight               or               fight"               response               in               humans.
               But               after               further               research,               this               turned               out               to               be               a               false               assumption.

Instead               the               bitter               tastes               caused               the               muscles               in               the               lungs               to               relax.

The               bitter               tastes               actually               opened               up               the               airways               much               better               than               any               other               drug               that               is               currently               on               the               market               to               treat               asthma.
               Bitter               taste               is               the               only               taste               that               the               lung               receptors               can               detect.

They               cannot               detect               salty,               sweet,               or               sour               tastes               like               the               tongue.

And               also               unlike               the               tongue,               the               lungs               do               not               send               signals               to               the               brain,               they               just               react               to               the               bitter               taste               by               relaxing.
