Can you imagine having in your hands a drug that allows you to eat everything without gaining a gram? A team of French scientists has just found a drug capable of making our body believe that the food we eat is limited or almost non-existent. TheSRT1720 pill, whatmimics the effects of a poor diet, changes the metabolism to a state ofpermanent fat burningand it could be the long-awaited solution to obesity.
As revealed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers in the latest issue of the journalCell Metabolism, his first discovery about the drug was that giving a low dose to several experimental mice prevented them from gaining weight despite consuming a high-fat diet for 10 weeks. In addition, at high doses SRT1720 completely prevented the animals from gaining weight and improved tolerance to blood sugar, preventing the development of diabetes. It even endowed animals with greater athletic ability. ? The SRT1720 made the animals run twice as far, “says Johan Auwerx, a co-author of the study.
To develop this drug, the French researcher was inspired by ared wine component: theresveratrol. This substance acts on the SIRT1 protein, the same target of the new drug. However, there are other effects of resveratrol that have not yet been explained. In that sense, the main advantage of the new drug is that, at the moment, it does not seem to have side effects.
