The tablet replaces sports



American doctors managed to create a drug that replaces a sport. This was reported in the results of research in the Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter, USA. A tablet may be an alternative to sports activities for those who exercise are contraindicated.

The drug is a compound SR9009, which activates protein REV-ERB, in charge of the cyclical fluctuations of biological processes - that is, essentially for the "biological clock". As a result, administration experimental mice overweight lost weight and reduced their blood cholesterol levels.

Their cells began to use more oxygen during the day, they spent about 5% more energy than the rest, even without doing exercise. After entering the joints, cells begin to produce large amounts of new mitochondria, and strengthen existing cell structures.

The preparation "seems to have the same effect as physical exercise," - said co-author, chairman of the department of pharmacological and physiological science Medical University in St. Louis, Thomas Barris. Perhaps in the future he will be a panacea for people with disabilities.
