Scientists would be close to creating a pill that would bring the human body the same benefits as a session in the gym. This was reported by the Russian agency Rt.com describing the experiments that in recent months are allegedly being conducted at the University of Leeds, in the United Kingdom. It seems that scientists are very close to obtaining the desired effect: “What we can say is that soon Immagine correlatait will be possible to have a pill that has the effects of fitness on the body,” said the professor David Beach to Rt.

The English research and the discovered protein
In a study published Thursday in Nature Communications, a journal of scientific publications, the team said they examined the effects of physical activity on blood circulation, finding that when the heart rate rises, blood flow in the body moves downwards. skeletal muscles and the brain, ignoring internal organs such as the intestines. Arteries narrow during exercise, putting 'stress' on the arteries. The team then identified a protein (Piezo1) that they believe governs the body's reactions to exercise and could hold the key to beating some diseases.

"If we can understand how this system works, then we may be able to develop techniques that can help beat some of the diseases that most plague modern patients and societies," Beach said. “We know that exercises can help protect some damage to the heart, heart attacks for example. This study has identified a physiological system that 'feels' when the body does exercise”.
