New My Gut creator says when a mouse falls in love with a cat
The study found that Toxoplasma gondii, which can only reproduce in the intestines of cats, can change the neural activity in the limbic system area of the brain of the intermediate host mouse. As a result, the infected mice not only no longer fear the smell of cats, but also arouse the sexual desire of the mice. Attracted to cat scent due to pleasure.
In 2022, microecological imbalance (dysbiosis) was officially identified by biologists as one of the 12 major signs of aging. It turns out that the intestinal microecology of centenarians generally contains more Akkermansia muciniphila (AKK bacteria for short). A few years ago, a clinical trial study titled “Supplementation with Akkermansia muciniphila in overweight and obese human volunteers: a proof-of-concept exploratory study” found that obese patients had improved metabolic health (including insulin) after taking AKK bacteria. sensitivity) was significantly improved. AKK bacteria have since become a new star in the foreign dietary supplement market.
Hong Kong may be lagging behind in this area of information. Today I would like to introduce to you a new book on intestinal health, “Gut Check: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health”. This is a new book that attracts readers to keep reading because the author Dr. Steven Gundry uses an excellent example from the beginning to convince you how powerful single-celled microorganisms in the intestines can be: As I said, with domestic cats Young children who grow up together have higher intestinal microbial richness and diversity. However, friends who have experience raising domestic cats should not be unfamiliar with the parasitic protozoa Toxoplasma gondii, because Toxoplasma gondii infection may cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Unexpectedly, Toxoplasma gondii, which can only reproduce in the intestines of cats, has learned to change the neural activity in the limbic system area of the mouse brain during the evolution process, overcoming the intermediate host’s innate fear of cats, thus greatly increasing the number of cats. The probability of Toxoplasma gondii producing offspring. When a mouse falls in love with a cat, it certainly doesn’t know how to die. Because it does not know death, it is said that this single-cell microorganism may also cause another intermediate host, the wolf, to become the leader of the wolf pack, but it may also cause humans to die in traffic accidents due to reckless driving.
