A new study from the University of Oregon shows that nerves in the gut help regulate the acidity of the gut
"We found an unexpected link between the enteric nervous system and the gut microbiome," said UO microbiologist Karen Guillemin
Gillette led the new work with Ohio State neuroscientist Judith Eisen
Scientists have known for years that gut bacteria are important to digestive health
To make this connection, Eisen and Gillette studied a zebrafish with a genetic mutation that caused the loss of nerves in the gut
Eisen and Guillemin have previously shown that zebrafish lacking intestinal nerves have similar inflammation
Input: Zebrafish
Postdoctoral researcher Kristi Hamilton came with a hunch—she suspected that the diseased zebrafish might have something wrong with their gut pH
Giving fish a heartburn medication called omeprazole (omeprazole is commonly known as omeprazole) can relieve stomach acid and restore bacterial balance
The findings suggest that not only do nerves in the gut control the contractions that keep the gut moving, they also help regulate gut acidity, ensuring a healthy bacterial population
