Scientists have created a pill that mimics the benefits of long running

Pill can replace the benefits of a 10-kilometer run/master1305

Researchers from Denmark say that a drug can help those who are struggling to stick to a diet and exercise plan. Scientists have created a pill that mimics the positive effects of training on health.

Researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark said a molecule called LaKe could have the same health effects as running 10 kilometers at high speed. The Standart publication writes about it.

The pill contains a molecule that can mimic the body's natural metabolic response to exercise and fasting. Exercise helps increase the level of lactates and ketones in the body, which act as an effective fuel for cells. This increases the production of a hormone that suppresses appetite, while reducing the level of free fatty acids in the blood.

Dr. Thomas Poulsen, a chemist at Aarhus University who led the study, said: “It can be difficult to maintain motivation to run many kilometers at high speed and go without food. For people with physical ailments such as a weak heart or general weakness, a nutritional supplement can be the key to better recovery”.

LaKe has shown positive results in a rat study, and the first human clinical trials are already underway at Aarhus University Hospital. If successful, the drug may be developed as a food supplement.

Scientists hope the drug will help people who can't stick to a strict exercise and diet plan, but warn that it could take years to develop.

Dr. Poulsen added: “It can be difficult to stay motivated to run many kilometers at high speed without food. For people with physical ailments such as a weak heart or general weakness, a nutritional supplement can be the key to better recovery.”

These diseases are often characterized by low energy levels in the brain, which interferes with its optimal functioning

Since lactate can take over the role of glucose in the brain under stressful or traumatic conditions, experiments have been conducted to increase lactate levels in people with concussions. Patients who can't do strenuous exercise would benefit greatly from a drug that could boost it,
said Dr. Poulsen.

The study was published in the journal Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
