The research team, led by Professor Michio Shimamura of Tsukuba University, found that the cholesterol that causes the arteriosclerosis caused by the bacterium Helicobacter Pylori can help prevent bronchial asthma in mice.

According to research results, newborn mice injected with arteriosclerotic fats called cholesteryl glucoside are less likely to develop asthma than mice that do not get the fat.

The average number of white blood cells in mice receiving cholesterol was only one fourth of the number of white blood cells in unvaccinated mice.

Professor Shimamura said that the injection of cholesterol produced by Helicobacter Pylori bacteria will enhance the functions of natural killer cells, cells that make up the immune system.
