Scientists are developing a drug that helps to relieve fatigue after physical exertion and has a beneficial effect on people with heart disease, reports BBC..

Colombian researchers have found that fatigue leads to the penetration of calcium into muscle cells. Although initially it was assumed that fatigue occurs after exhausting loads due to the accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles. But the study revealed that as a result of debilitating physical exertion, calcium penetrates into muscle cells, and protein enzymes are produced, which in turn lead to damage to muscle fibers, according to an Internet publication for girls and women aged 14-35 Pannochka. Net During the experiment, scientists found that calcium penetration was observed in both mice after an intense three-week daily swim, and in athletes after three days of cycling. The researchers identified the same calcium penetration into muscle cells in mice with heart failure.

The scientists emphasized that penetration was observed only in humans and mice after exhausting physical exertion.

It is also suggested that patients with heart failure experience calcium penetration constantly, which prevents their muscles from recovering. The feeling of such fatigue can be so negative that patients may not have the strength to get out of bed, brush their teeth or eat.

Now scientists are making plans to develop a drug that relieves fatigue in people with heart failure. Scientists hope that this drug will have a beneficial effect on the health and well-being of people with cardiovascular diseases.
