Overconsumption of alcohol can result in severe hangovers, characterized by headaches, fatigue, and nausea. Additionally, it is associated with numerous health issues such as heart disease, cirrhosis, and weakened immunity. While reducing alcohol intake is one way to prevent these negative effects,
In a study published inthis week, the scientists outlined their approach and shared their findings from experiments on mice. The treatment lowered alcohol absorption, extended alcohol tolerance, and accelerated recovery time following alcohol exposure. Although human trials have not yet been conducted, the researchers speculate that this probiotic could offer a novel approach to minimizing alcohol-related health problems and liver problems in general.
The human body primarily uses forms of an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase, or ADH, to metabolize alcohol. But some variants are more effective than others: Some studies have found that a form called ADH1B, found primarily in East Asian and Polynesian populations, is 100 times more active than other variants.
Further tests showed that 2 hours after exposure, blood alcohol levels in the control group continued to rise, while those in the probiotic-treated mice had begun to fall. In addition, the researchers found that treated mice showed lower levels of lipids and triglycerides in their livers, suggesting that the probiotic could alleviate alcohol-related damage to that organ.
