Theanine can filter heavy metals

The research team led by Zhao Baolu, a researcher at the State Key Laboratory of brain and cognition, Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently found that theanine, a new substance that inhibits tobacco and nicotine addiction, can eliminate tobacco addiction by regulating the release of nicotine receptor and dopamine Recently, it has a significant effect on the removal of heavy metals including arsenic, cadmium and lead in tobacco smoke Except for action This is the information obtained by the reporter from the "academic seminar on the application and health of non dependence anti addiction and harm reduction filter technology" recently held by China Association for science and technology L-theanine is ubiquitous in green tea It has been reported that theanine is a kind of compressive agent, which can improve learning ability and memory Zhao Baolu's research team used modern experimental technology to discover the mechanism of theanine inhibiting tobacco and nicotine addiction, and developed a tea filter (theanine as the main component) to eliminate tobacco addiction and reduce harm The "filter rod and filter and its preparation technology independent of eliminating tobacco addiction and reducing harm" has obtained international patent Different from the traditional technology of quitting smoking, theanine can eliminate the addiction of smoking in the process of smoking, which is a circulatory process: theanine is extracted from the filter every time you smoke, absorbed by the respiratory tract, enters the blood circulation to the target position of nicotine receptor in the brain, and is inhibited once In this way, the increasing nicotine receptor stimulated by nicotine is continuously circulated Theanine is constantly adjusted to normal level, making the desire for smoking smaller and smaller Finally, smoking cessation will not cause smoking cessation syndrome and stress response The research results were published in Chinese and English in Chinese science last May and recommended by the Chinese Association for science and technology to the news media, which attracted widespread attention Zhao Baolu said that their latest research found that tyrosine hydroxylase and c-fos also participate in the regulation of theanine on nicotine receptor, producing dopamine to eliminate nicotine addiction This shows that theanine's anti smoking effect may be achieved through multiple targets In addition, they also studied the scavenging effect of tea filter on arsenic, cadmium and lead content in the respiratory tract of Chinese and foreign brand cigarette combustion smoke, and found that most of them were above 50%, even up to 90% It is reported that two related research papers have been submitted to the international journal.
