A peptide called apelin, recently discovered by scientists, has an impact on the development of such common diseases today as diabetes, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure..

Apelin deficiency, as it turned out, can be replenished in the body by introducing its synthetic analogue. This method will markedly improve the function of the heart and lungs, according to Science World Report..

A number of laboratory and clinical studies have shown that in the heart of those who have suffered a heart attack or a heart attack, angina pectoris, there is a lack of this compound, which is necessary for the synthesis of new vessels, as well as the restoration of full blood circulation..

Currently, scientists are busy trying to improve the synthetic version of apelin so that it is better absorbed and reaches the desired goal - the heart or lungs.. Members of the scientific community believe that in the future the synthesis of drugs based on apelin will become a new effective method in the treatment of pathologies noted in heart and lung attacks..
