A drug has been developed that can replace physical activity

02.04.2024

Modern lifestyles often leave us with little time for the physical exercise needed to maintain health and fitness. However, new research from scientists at the University of Florida and the University of Washington suggests a revolutionary approach: a drug that can replace exercise.

Scientists at the University of Florida and Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new drug that promises to change the way we think about exercise. The new formula, known as SLU-PP-332, is in the early stages of development but has already shown promising results in rodent experiments.

Daily administration of SLU-PP-332 to mice resulted in significant improvements in muscle fitness, function, and endurance. This discovery opens up new prospects for creating a drug that can replace the physical activity needed to maintain health and fitness.

For a long time, the idea of creating a drug that could emulate the effect of training seemed unattainable. However, thanks to numerous experiments, significant results were achieved. SLU-PP-332 increases the number of fatigue-resistant muscle fibers, leading to improved endurance and exercise performance.

Additional studies showed that mice given the drug twice a day accumulated 10 times less fat than their counterparts. This indicates that SLU-PP-332 promotes active fat burning and maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Despite the encouraging results, scientists will continue testing the drug in rodents, including assessing possible side effects. However, they are already considering the prospect of using this drug to develop a drug to help people with mobility problems.

The development of SLU-PP-332 represents a significant advance in the field of medicine and sports science. If the research is successful, this drug could become a revolutionary means of maintaining health and fitness without requiring significant physical activity.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

The danger of urban smog 11.01.2022

Major cities around the world are affected by smog, and it takes lives. According to scientists, in 2019 alone, air pollution led to 1,8 million deaths worldwide.

Simulations carried out by scientists showed that 86% of the inhabitants of large cities - and this is approximately 2,6 billion people - are exposed to fine particulate matter at levels that exceed the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO).

PM2,5 - fine particulate matter 2,5 micrometers in diameter or less - is a leading environmental risk factor for disease. Their inhalation increases the risk of premature death from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, lung cancer and lower respiratory tract infections.

It found that the population-weighted average concentration of PM2,5 in all urban areas of the world in 2019 was 35 micrograms per cubic meter, equivalent to seven times the WHO recommendations for 2021.

In 2019, one in 61 deaths worldwide was attributable to air pollution.

Approximately 55% of the world's population lives in cities. In some areas, both an increase and a decrease in the concentration of PM2,5 in the air are observed. Thus, in Southeast Asia, between 2000 and 2019, the average concentration of PM2,5 increased by 27%. The death rate associated with air pollution has increased over the years by 33%, from 63 to 84 per 100 people.

In African cities, PM2,5 concentrations decreased by 18%, in European cities by 21%, and in cities in the Americas by 29%. However, this did not lead to a similar reduction in mortality from PM2,5. This suggests that other factors, such as population aging and poor health, are important contributors to pollution-related mortality, the scientists say.

Air pollution is one of the biggest environmental threats to human health, along with climate change. The WHO has declared that the problem with air pollution has become even more significant than before, and has lowered the maximum allowable level of key pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide.
