Proper exercise is hard to come by, when your back is basically broken. I want to pop some Notbuprofen and feel the burn as the pounds melt away.
In theory, a drug that stimulates the hormones that demand the burning of fat *should* be possible. Why isn’t it, and/or why has no one made this yet?
In: Biology
Because hormones have a lot of effect, some of which you definitely do not want to increase. And even if the direct effect of the hormone aren’t an issue, it might interact with other hormone and potentially cause dangerous side effect.
For example, Glucagon is the hormone responsible for taking sugar out of storage (Including fat) and putting it in the blood and hyperglycemia doesn’t even have any serious short term effect. So you might think that giving extra glucagon or increasing its production could help to eliminate these sugar right ?
Wrong. The excess sugar in the blood will cause the body the produce extra Insulin to keep the blood sugar level in check. At first it might simply counteract the effect of the extra Glucagon, but once its level return to normal, the extra Insulin will make the blood sugar drop extremely fast potentially leading to hypoglycemia which is extremely dangerous and potentially fatal.
