American R & D "lazy" diet pills can burn fat while sitting

For people who are indifferent to exercise, have no time for exercise, or are unable to exercise for various reasons, it is a blessing to be able to burn fat and get body sculpting effects if they are sitting. The US "Cell" monthly reported that researchers have developed a new class of drugs that "must" the muscles to think that the body has done a lot of exercise, thus "urging" muscles to rapidly burn fat to achieve body sculpting. Sitting can burn fat

There are two new drugs, one called AICAR and the other called GW1516, developed by the Salk Institute in California.

Researchers discovered during experimental rats that they could “blink a shot” and make the muscles think that the human body has been engaged in long-term, large-volume exercise activities, thus speeding up fat burning and calories burned. As a result, users do not need to exercise and they are expected to achieve a sculpting effect by taking tablets. The difference is that GW1516 is more effective, but the premise is that the user needs to cooperate with certain daily exercise, and AICAR can completely avoid the exercise. Tests have shown that some rats that lack exercise usually take four weeks of AICAR, which burns more calories and has relatively less body fat than the mice that did not take the drug.

Britain’s “Daily Mail” quoted one of the researchers, Ronald Evans, one of the famous biologists, as saying on August 1st: “This type of drug induces muscles to believe that they are exercising every day. Therefore, they can take drugs. It's amazing to get the same effect as exercise.” However, this new drug may not be available until several years later.

The new drug is not a panacea

Researchers believe that the new drug is expected to be used for the treatment of obesity or muscle atrophy. People who have higher ages, are physically frail or are busy with all kinds of things and don’t have time to go to the gym can “enjoy” the effect of body sculpting.

Evans said: "Health experts recommend that people exercise 40 minutes a day, but almost no one can do it. New medicines will make the small amount of exercise they do every day more efficient." But researcher Fan Hannaka reminded me that The new drug is not a panacea and it is hoped that healthy people will need to eat healthy and engage in cardiopulmonary exercise. The British Obesity Forum doctor Colin Wayne said that the current best method for overweight is healthy diet and sports.

Researchers are now further testing AICAR to see if it can be used to prevent a special complication after heart bypass surgery. GW1516 has been tested whether it can be used to lower cholesterol, and then stopped for safety reasons.

Weight loss drugs are endless

Various weight loss methods and weight loss drugs have emerged in recent years.

In May of this year, a Danish pharmaceutical company launched a new type of diet pill that reduced appetite to achieve weight loss. The study showed that in subjects, average weight loss was 10% after 6 months of moderate dose. The effect of drugs is attractive, but the side effects should not be underestimated. Subjects may experience mild nausea, diarrhea, constipation, insomnia, and irritability after taking the drug. Even more dangerous is that they may have a rapid heartbeat and increase the risk of heart disease.

In April of this year, Australian hypertensive control personnel removed a type of enzyme capable of raising blood pressure in experimental rats and found that they suffered from significant reductions in body fat and body weight as a result of diet and exercise as usual, and thus proposed a new idea for developing weight-reducing drugs. .

Stephen Blume, a professor at the Imperial College in London, expressed his optimism about the prospects of the new weight-reducing drugs: “Even if the drugs we research and develop are still side effects, our philosophy is not wrong. Someday people will develop safe and effective diet pills.”
