Apple Peel components are expected to treat muscle weakness

Diseases and aging is often accompanied by lead to atrophy of muscles, recently researchers have discovered a natural compound that can effectively avoid the occurrence of muscular dystrophy. The study, published in the June issue of the journal cell-metabolism, it pointed out that some component of the Apple Peel is expected to become a candidate drug for treatment of muscle weakness.

From United States University of Iowa, Christopher. Adams (Christopher Adams) in order to change the status quo of atrophy of muscles pains all mankind, his team started working on shrinking gene activity in muscles. 1300 kinds of biologically active small molecules they use to deal with muscle cells, and compares their gene expression, and finally found a named ursolic acid (ursolic acid) compounds against effects of muscular dystrophy.

"Ursolic acid the compound is interesting, it's present in Apple Peel, is part of our normal diet. So people will often say that an Apple a day, the doctor away, "Adams said.

Zhihou, researchers of the fasting mice fed ursolic acid. Results of such experiments as expected, ursolic acid can protect muscle from contracting. They joined the ursolic acid in food in normal mice, their muscles begin to grow a few weeks later.

Ursolic acid from animal also becomes slim up their blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride declined. This finding suggests that ursolic acid may contribute to healthy eating.

Study on mice can be applied to human patients, that we are not very clear, says Adams, and his current goal is to "find out whether it can help people". If so, they need to know the normal intake of ursolic acid in diet is.
