Scientists in the US claim to have boiled down some of the health benefits of exercise into a swallowable pill.

The novel drug is in the very early stages of development, but in initial experiments on rodents, the medicine appears to tap into a natural metabolic pathway usually triggered by exercise.

When administered to mice daily, the drug, called SLU-PP-332, seems to improve muscle function, fitness, and endurance – all without the animals having to move more than they're used to.

Presenting the latest results at the American Chemical Society's 2024 Spring meeting, principal investigator and chemist Bahaa Elgendy from Washington University claims that he and his team have succeeded where others have failed.

With this out, now I'll be able to get my diabetes meds instead of it all going to the fatties.

As a wheelchair bound dude, this is actually extremely exciting.

But I get the notion that it will be abused by the Temu handicap tag crowd
