I’m not promoting drug use in any which way but I’d like to consult smarter and more well-informed minds. Sorry if anyone finds this offensive.
The video talks about the benefits over dieting and semaglutide and that’s all positive, but it makes a suggestion to say that these new drugs can help people who aren’t able to exercise. Does that mean that disabled people who are suffering from muscular dystrophy will be able to take these drugs and have a better quality of life?
It might help it might not probably depends on other medication and general health as well, before human trials are finished and published effect of these drugs is mostly speculation. Would be cool for everyone if they were as effective for humans as for monkeys.
I have a family member who is predominantly bed bound and so their muscles continue to atrophy. My hope is that with advancements like this, we can maintain enough muscle mass not to exacerbate or create further conditions. It’s a hail Mary, but it’s a slim hope for an improvement in quality of life. Even if it’s like five years down the line.
