Metabolic syndrome has possible drug targets
The news story below is a little complicated--it comes from a university press release--so I'll try to sum up the results and what I think of them in a few paragraphs.
i-Newswire.com - Press Release And News Distribution - Metabolic syndrome possible drug targets
If you've been reading through this blog at all, you'll start to get the picture that I don't think we should be waiting around for drugs or genetics breakthroughs to deal with metabolic syndrome.
So the news that there is some hope for developing drugs to treat metabolic syndrome doesn't really do much for me. (By the way, that's what the article is about.) The pharmaceutical companies must be going mad to start working on something, though.
Prevention and health maintenance is the best way to fight off metabolic syndrome. Always has been, and (even if there are drugs to treat it) always will be. Like was mentioned in the last post's article, metabolic syndrome is a heart attack waiting to happen. Let's not bargain that the heart attack is farther off than the development of a drug. Instead, let's just move our arms and legs around a little more.
It's been said that if exercise was a pill, everyone would be forced to take it.
