Scientists from Imperial College London are developing drug therapy which, by its effects on the patient will be identical surgery gastroshuntirovaniya. Thus, the victims of obesity can lose weight without the help of severe abdominal operations.
This medicine has been made possible through the creation of active hormones for a long time that "cheating" the human brain, suggesting he thought of satiety. Obese people do not feel hunger, and thus can not pump up the body with calories. According to its mechanism of action of the drug is almost exactly the same effect gastroshuntirovaniya - Surgery for the repair of the stomach, after which patients with morbid obesity are saturated with a much smaller amount of food.
Now scientists from the UK that way completed the first clinical trials of the drug on patients who received positive results. Now researchers are preparing for wider testing. They hope to have a few years to give people an alternative to drug safety is very difficult and very expensive for the value of transactions which, moreover, shows only a small fraction of the victims of obesity.
" Gastroshuntirovanie tangible results for patients, - says one of the founders of medicine Professor Steve Bloom. - In many countries we are talking about the development of the obesity epidemic, which kills hundreds of thousands of people because of obesity-related diseases. And we can not hold gastroshuntirovanie, for example, half the population of Europe? Therefore, our group has set itself the task to come up with an alternative to this operation. The medicine causes the brain to receive the same signals about saturation, it receives and after surgery. We expect to conduct more extensive research in the case of their success to launch the drug in the production. "(Read More)
