The human body is capable of producing hormones that have an effect similar to physical exercises, say Japanese researchers.

During the study, scientists from the University of Tokyo studied the effect of the hormone adiponectin, which is produced in fat cells. It turned out that subjects who, through genetic manipulation, this hormone was blocked, lost most of the muscular strength of the legs, while there was an increased level of sugar in the blood. Both these states are caused by a lack of physical exertion for a long time.

According to experts, based on this hormone in the future, you can develop medicines for people suffering from muscle failure, in addition, the authors of the study expect that their novelty will find popularity in sports, as for today this drug is not considered a steroid and does not have a classical steroid molecular Skeleton.
