問題詳情

(3) A recent report in the journal Cell describes a new drug called AICAR, which could someday let us enjoy thebenefits of exercise without moving a muscle. “We have exercise in a pill,” says researcher Ron Evans. “With no exercise,you can take a drug and chemically mimic it.”Designed to help patients who are unable to exercise because of medical problems, AICAR simulates exercise, burnsfat and helps improve endurance. It may also offer a potential treatment for suffers of diabetes because it stimulatesmuscle activity that helps remove sugar from the blood. Unfortunately, AICAR also has several drawbacks. For starters, it only simulates aerobic exercise; it does not helpmake muscles stronger. Laurie Goodyear, of Boston’s Joslin Diabetes Center, also cautions that exercise has suchwidespread benefits that it is unlikely any one will ever be able to replace them all. “For the majority of people,” saysGoodyear, “it would be better to do exercise than take a pill.” Perhaps the biggest drawback, for now, is that AICAR has only been tested on mice.
