Gut’s Hidden Hydrogen Engine: How a Key Enzyme Fuels Healthy Guts and Falters in Crohn’s Disease
Unveiling the gut’s hydrogen engine Scientists have long known that the human gut is a bustling metabolic reactor. Carbohydrates are fermented by trillions of microbes, yielding energy, beneficial short-chain fatty acids, and a spectrum of gases. Among these gases, molecular hydrogen (H₂) plays a surprising and crucial role. Rather than being a mere byproduct, H₂…
