Puede que los científicos hayan descubierto las causas de las náuseas matutinas, y ven esperanzas en un posible tratamiento

Published Sat, 01 Feb 2025 02:17:18 GMT

(CNN) — La mayoría de las personas que se quedan embarazadas sufren náuseas matutinas. Algunas, como Catalina la princesa de Gales y la actriz Amy Schumer, padecen formas tan graves que necesitan ser hospitalizadas, y algunas mujeres incluso mueren a causa de ellas.Los científicos llevan años tratando de entender su causa con la esperanza de encontrar algún día una cura.Un estudio publicado esta semana en la revista Nature sugiere que algunas personas embarazadas son especialmente sensibles a una hormona llamada GDF15. Se produce en niveles bajos en todo el organismo, pero una persona embarazada recibe otra fuerte dosis del feto en crecimiento, y eso puede desencadenar náuseas y vómitos. Los estudios realizados con pacientes con cáncer han descubierto que cuando el cuerpo produce demasiado GDF15, puede provocar náuseas crónicas y pérdida de peso.Un estudio de 2018 encontró un vínculo entre el gen que controla el GDF15 y las náuseas y los vómitos durante el embarazo en 53.000 m...
