Chapter 480: The New Biological Century
After this news reached Huaxia, countless shareholders expressed their envy.
Because domestic pharmaceutical stocks not only did not rise, but also fell.
Even if several listed companies announce that they will increase investment in the research and development of weight loss drugs, it will not help.
Market money simply doesn't buy it.
Obviously, investors don't have much confidence in them.
On the online forum, the discussion of gene potion remains high.
Most people believe that if this gene potion can really achieve the effect said by the media, then there may be no fat people in this world in the future, which will have a positive impact on human health and even life expectancy to varying degrees.
Because for ordinary people, there are many diseases, all of which are caused by obesity.
There are also some people who lament that American technology is once again at the forefront of the world, while our technology companies always seem to be one step behind and express some disappointment with domestic scientific research institutions.
The side confirms that sentence.
- Your own failures are terrible, but the successes of others are even more worrying.
But it is worth mentioning that it didn't take long for an analyst at Infinity Securities to upgrade the ratings of six domestic pharmaceutical listed companies.
All of them have been upgraded to A grade.
This move.
Let many domestic investment institutions scratch their heads and ask for gossip everywhere.
They are now also well-educated, and they know that Infinity Securities has a lot of insider information that ordinary people can't access.
With every move, there may be potential investment opportunities.
The Rockefeller Institute, after a brief discussion, finally decided to choose the location of the clinical trial of the gene potion on the campus of Rockefeller University.
Rockefeller University, a private research university located in New York City, USA, is known for its biomedical research and is one of the universities with the most Nobel Prize winners in physiology or medicine.
The predecessor of the university was the Rockefeller Medical Research Institute, which was founded in 1901 with a donation from the Rockefeller Foundation, and was the first biomedical research center in the United States.
It was once the largest private medical research institution in the United States.
With the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, the institute has produced many outstanding biomedical scientists and has made significant contributions to the development of modern medicine.
In 1965, the institute changed its name to Rockefeller University as an independent university, but its medical research and education remained its core mission.
Two weeks before the start of the trial, news of the recruitment of obese volunteers spread rapidly through the media and social networks.
There was an endless stream of applicants.
At one point, it was as high as a million.
As a result, the official website of Rockefeller University could not be opened.
This is enough to see how large the number of obese people in the United States is.
They are desperate to get rid of the obesity problem that has plagued them for a long time by participating in the trial.
After targeted screening, 100 volunteers with a BMI (body mass index) of more than 30 stood out, coming from different age groups and different professional identities, including students, teachers, company employees, business owners, transportation workers, etc.
A common goal has brought them together today.
On the day of the trial, Rockefeller University was unusually busy.
After signing a series of risk notification agreements, the researchers began to conduct detailed physical examinations for the volunteers, including weight, blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar, blood lipids and other indicators.
to make sure they are fit to participate in the trial.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent staff to oversee the trial.
In addition, there are many well-known American media such as Science and CNN that will be filmed simultaneously.
After all, people all over the United States are now paying attention to this genetic weight loss potion.
If successful, it will revolutionize the existing treatment of obesity and bring good news to the 3 billion obese people around the world.
Even in the history of human medicine, it is an epoch-making event.
Before the test officially began, the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense.
The researchers wore lab coats, masks and gloves to ensure the accuracy and safety of the test.
In front of them, on a mobile workbench, placed a silver tray.
It was lined up with 100 syringes containing genetic weight loss potions.
All of them are the latest batches flown in from Xiangjiang by Infinity Biological Laboratory.
The researchers first injected each volunteer with a placebo to observe their physical responses.
After 30 minutes, when it was confirmed that the volunteers were not experiencing any discomfort, the researchers began injecting them with a genetic weight loss potion.
During the injection, the researchers were very careful, they controlled the dosage of the syringe precisely, and at the same time, they were constantly communicating with the volunteers, asking them how they were feeling to make sure they did not experience any discomfort in their bodies.
Immediately after the injection, the volunteers were placed in a separate ward and entered the observation period.
"What's going on? My body suddenly feels so itchy! ”
An obese volunteer, who weighed up to 300 pounds, suddenly sat up on his bed.
He was a twenty-year-old college student at the New York Institute of Technology named Morten Hart, who suffered from congenital obesity.
In his family, there have been many overweight obese people.
Almost all of them are obese and not over 60 years old.
Due to his weight, Hart has been ridiculed by his classmates since he was a child, and even school violence, and this time he was encouraged by his parents to sign up for this clinical trial and was lucky to be selected.
The biological activity in the genetic potion will be continuously absorbed by the capillaries after entering the human body, and due to the large number of them, Hart will soon feel itchy in his body.
But this level of itching is still in the tolerable range.
So he was still lying in bed.
After another five minutes, Hart suddenly shouted, "It's hot, it's hot! ”
Researchers were closely monitoring his blood pressure and heart rate and found that both had seen a large increase.
They immediately set about preparing to inject Hart with β receptor blockers, hoping to bring his blood pressure and heart rate down quickly, otherwise it would soon be life-threatening.
Professor Larson hurriedly stopped them.
He found that Hart's blood pressure began to stabilize after it rose to around 150mmHg.
Hart couldn't stand the heat and began to take off his clothes, at the moment he was steaming all over, and the gene potion was constantly stimulating the metabolic activity of his body's cells and decomposing the excess nutrients in his body.
The sudden activation of these cells caused his body to generate high temperatures.
"I can't stand it, I need to go to the toilet!"
Hart looked pained, and the monkey hurried into the bathroom of the ward.
There was a sound of rushing water.
The two researchers, wearing masks, followed closely behind him, carefully recording his physical reactions next to him, which are very important clinical data.
After a while, Hart finally came out of the toilet sweating profusely and prostratingly.
The excretion just now made him feel a lot more comfortable, but his body seemed to be getting more and more greasy.
Researchers soon discovered that instead of sweat, he had oil.
This shows that the stimulation of human metabolic cells by gene diet drugs has a very rapid and significant effect, and fat cells are excreted from the pores of the skin after promoting division and necrosis.
Little Fat Hart was excited: "It's amazing! I can feel my body a lot lighter! ”
The researchers had him stand on a scale to take measurements.
Compared with the data recorded earlier, it was found that in just half an hour, he had lost about 3.3 pounds. (1 lb ≈ 1.1 lb)
Although in his excrement, the proportion of water is relatively high.
But this effect can still be said to be very amazing.
Then, another four hours passed, during which Hart went to the bathroom seven times and showered to wash away the oil oozing from his skin.
In order to make this clinical trial more rigorous.
The researchers provided Hart with a rich, high-calorie lunch.
At the same time, he was encouraged to eat at his usual amount to see how well the genetic weight loss potion would work in this situation.
By eight o'clock in the evening, when the researchers took his weight again, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
In less than 24 hours, Hart's weight had dropped from 300 pounds to 289 pounds!
You must know that if a normal person wants to lose ten pounds, he must carry out long-term strict dietary control and cooperate with appropriate aerobic exercise.
And now, with the help of genetic potions, it only takes one day!
I have to say, this is a medical miracle!
The reporters excitedly pressed the shutter and froze the scene.
In the coming period.
All the volunteers began to lose weight at an alarming rate, including a significant improvement in their physical condition.
Even though they consume high-calorie foods every day, the gene potion still plays a powerful role.
The symptoms of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by obesity gradually disappeared, making many volunteers feel unprecedented ease and comfort.
This is something that cannot be done by ordinary medical institutions.
FDA staff were shocked and excited about the results of the trial.
Originally, they were very worried that there might be some uncontrollable dangers in the gene potion.
But through the comparison of the data of 100 volunteers, they soon found that there seems to be some kind of balance mechanism for the metabolic level of the human body in this gene potion.
For example, for obese people with a large weight base like Hart, the effect of genetic potion is very significant, and it can metabolize a large amount of body fat in a short period of time, but for other volunteers with a small weight base, the effect is much weaker.
Among the volunteers was a middle-aged woman with a height of 170cm and a weight of 120 pounds, and although she lost about 2 pounds on the first day after being injected with the genetic potion, the total weight lost was only 6 pounds after seven consecutive days.
Half a month later, even if the researchers doubled the amount of genetic potions, her daily weight loss was only between 0.2 and 0.3 pounds.
This shows that as the excess fat of the human body drops to a certain value, the body fat rate decreases, and the stimulation of human cells by gene potions is also weakened.
Of course, from the perspective of researchers and the FDA, this is not a disadvantage, but a great advantage that can prevent many people from abusing drugs.
In addition, the physical effects of the gene potion on the volunteers are also within an acceptable range.
Most people, in the process of significant weight loss, only have weakness and weakness of limbs, which is a normal phenomenon of "weight loss", which can be recovered through daily rest.
Only a small number of people, due to their weak digestion and absorption ability, have the problem of weight loss too fast, malnutrition, and electrolyte imbalance.
Of course, there is also sagging skin, which is also inevitable.
However, through follow-up recuperation, it can be slowly recovered.
These so-called "side effects" can't hide the greatness of this gene potion.
As the clinical trials continue to advance, media reporters also conducted in-depth interviews with volunteers.
The volunteers shared their mental journeys, physical changes, and expectations for the future, and their real feelings and personal experiences made the effect of this gene potion more sensational and believable.
In clinical trials, it is not completely over.
Media reporters have already written relevant feature articles.
They used the most vivid language and the most shocking contrasting images to describe the magical effect of this genetic potion to the world, and said that they were ready to welcome the arrival of the biological century.
As soon as the report was released, it aroused widespread attention and heated discussions in the society.
The people of the United States are shouting that they hope that this gene potion will be available as soon as possible, and they can't wait to eat it.
It is foreseeable that when the gene potion is launched, it will bring good news to the world's 3 billion obese people, and people will no longer need to exercise any restraint in food.
Everyone can fully enjoy the satisfaction of feasting.
Don't worry about causing health problems.
April 16, 2009.
The U.S. stock market, stimulated by the good news, saw the Nasdaq index jump higher and rose 3.6%, led by related stocks such as medicine, catering, and beauty care.
Countless investors are crazy about it.
However, at the same time that the genetic weight loss potion has attracted much attention from the market, a report in the English Medical Journal has poured cold water on everyone.
The report pointed out that the developer of gene weight loss drugs is not a local institution in the United States, but a biological laboratory under the name of Infinity Company in China.
Even the article provides some corroboration, such as customs declarations from customs, researchers at the Rockefeller Institute, vague footage when faced with reporters' questions, and so on.
The news was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar and causing turmoil in the financial markets.
The Nasdaq plunged in early trading, falling to -4.22%
The FAD quickly intervened.
They demanded more information from Infinity for approval, citing the presence of certain unidentifiable ingredients in the genetic potion. (End of chapter)
