Scientists have discovered a substance that can reduce or increase the pain.
According to experts, this discovery brings them closer to the development of new effective methods for the control of pain.
It was found that in the peripheral nervous system substance P makes the nerves less sensitive, that is, reduces the severity of pain. And in the Central nervous system a substance produces the opposite effect – increases the severity of pain.
The mechanism for this substance is that it is associated with the production of a specific type of protein, which is important for transmission of pain. However, he is particularly sensitive to zinc. Therefore, zinc in the blood are able to suppress blood this group of proteins. This will mean that people will not feel pain.
It is worth Recalling that it is only development that has many negative consequences for the human body.
