Grant Activity:
A new role for gut pH in blood pressure regulation
Purpose:
High blood pressure continues to be a major, poorly controlled but modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular death. Diets high in fibre are associated with lower blood pressure via the production of substances as a result of fibre digestion by gut microbes. We found that these same substances lower gut pH. This new mechanism could have major implications for the management of hypertension in the future.
