The results showed that it significantly reduced the negative effects of drinking alcohol.
As a result, they harnessed the power of a more potent enzyme form known as ADH1B. They also used a probiotic to deliver the enzyme to the human body.They administered the probiotic to three groups of five mice, each of which had consumed varying amounts of alcohol. The ability of the mice to get back on their feet after being placed on their backs was used to assess their drunken state.
“Untreated mice showed signs of drunkenness 20 minutes after exposure to alcohol. When the mice were placed on their backs, for example, they were unable to get back on their feet. But in the group that received a probiotic that expressed human ADH1B, half the mice were still able to turn themselves over 1 hour after alcohol exposure.
“We believe that genetically engineered probiotics will provide new ideas for the treatment of liver diseases. We are excited about the improvement of recombinant probiotics in acute alcohol-induced liver and intestinal damage,” said Meng Dong, Ph.D., at the Chinese Academy of Science’s Institute of Zoology, in a statement.This treatment could be extremely beneficial for humans, as excessive alcohol consumption causes hangovers, headaches, fatigue, and nausea.
