We are finding out that EVERYTHING has to do with our gut. It’s all about how to play well with the alien things that are embedded in us, that we evolved with, without which all kinds of problems surface. 

Looking closer, they observed that while noise exposure significantly negatively altered the composition of the gut microbiome, SPIOCA corrected it. The increase in ‘bad’ bacteria caused by noise exposure, which are associated with inflammation and infection, was reduced “remarkably” by the treatment.

One of the species of beneficial gut bacteria that SPIOCA increased was Bacteroides. These bacteria produce a class of lipids called sphingolipids, which play a crucial role in cell structure and functioning. The researchers found that noise exposure suppressed the expression of a particular sphingolipid receptor in cochlear hair cells, S1PR2, which protects against hearing loss. SPIOCA treatment, however, reversed that inhibited expression.

I hope that stuff soon comes to a drugstore nearby…
