Drug mimics effects of exercise
For all you lazy people out there: Check this out.
Researchers in San Diego have synthesized a compound that affects the metabolic pathways in muscle tissue to simulate exercise. What’s cooler for me is that they’ve come up with another drug that dramatically improves endurance when performing exercise.
Looks like the producers of Wall-E didn’t think that science would solve the obesity problems of the future

Is there any way of finding out the names of the drugs & when they’ll be available. I have lumbar stenosis, & it sounds like this could really help me.

Hi John,
From my understanding of the article, these drugs are still being tested on mice and human clinical trials have not yet begun so I’m not really sure about when they’ll be available. I think your best bet may be to contact the researchers mentioned in the article about this.
