This is incredible news if you are a mouse.
Let’s hope it translates to humans without also causing cancer or some other horrible condition as all of these miracle drugs seem to.
another horrible outcome for humans: a super race of gigantic, muscular rats with high libidos (that multiply very quickly) and want to overtake our food supply and keep us as pets
If they can solve global warming, I’m fine being a pet. Just gimme my videogames and I’ll tend to some crops.
Lol ikr. I’ll be a pet I just hope I get fed well enough and get to sleep a lot and if they decide to eat me they shoot me in the head. Sounds kinda nice…
I can think of one group that would be totally okay with this…
you mean these guys right?
I was thinking more along the offhours activities in the IT line of work, if you catch my drift.
oh right, you mean those people with furaffinity accounts 🤭
Look ive seen a documentary and the best way to deal with cracked up Vermin is 19 hellstorm rocket batteries, also a wizard with a gold fetish helps.
Soon to be available for humans for the low low price of 10k per dose. Thanks to big Pharma.
MUH R&D COSTS!!!1
And then a few years later in generic form for much, much less.
I’m actually not terribly put out by the initial high cost of these things, especially when it’s something that isn’t a vital life-saving treatment that people have no choice but to try. Every new technology starts out expensive and gets cheaper as competition arises and better manufacturing techniques are developed.

last time I checked, life was terminal.
I don’t see how that’s relevant. This is about a drug that simulates exercise. It’s a convenience drug. If you’re literally dying from lack of exercise, there are other less conveninet ways to do that already.
the trend is toward life-extention beyond natural limits. this has massive social implications and I don’t see anything that promises real artificial longevity ever becoming affordable by us plebs.
“Real” artificial longevity doesn’t exist yet. You’re jumping rather far ahead in that assumption.
pehaps, but the trend is there and its accelerating. I suspect that in short order (timeline unknown) we will actually have a legitimately marketable “life extension” option at which point its only a matter of degrees. the extra x years that you and I might possibly afford will eventually pale in comparison to the extra y years for the truly wealthy - at that point, generational wealth and power take on a wholly new and rather frightening dimension.
I admit… I may have a particularly bleak view of our possible futures, but an “undead” ruling class does not figure into any rosy endings that I can envision.
I think my “and then a few years later in generic form for much, much less” prediction would still apply here. There’s always going to be demand for life-extension treatments at every wealth level, so any company that can figure out how to make it more cheaply than the others is going to have an additional market they can offer the treatment to that’s further down the pay scale from the others. A pharma company wouldn’t maximize profit by selling to only a handful of billionaires when they could also be selling to all the millionaires that are also out there.
I prefer my mice Reggie, thank you very much.
Finally… Excersisium
Ask your doctor if Exersisium is right for you. To get swol.
So meth?
yeah i’m with you this sounds like they gave mice some meth and went heeyyyyyyy weight loss
no shit
Heroin. In the right amount it actually slows aging a bit. Emphasis on THE RIGHT AMOUNT. It slows other things too, though.
Why is science trying to make gym-bro mice?
Okay but what does it do with the energy from burning the fat?? Like, if you aren’t moving or doing anything you just have an excess of energy going where?
In summary, the ERR agonist SLU-PP-332 functions as an exercise mimetic inducing an acute aerobic exercise program that leads to myriad physiological adaptations that are associated with exercise including increased skeletal muscle oxidative fibers, increased fatty acid oxidation, and enhanced exercise endurance
Gainz
Well, waste energy is expelled as heat so… I bet they heat up. Kinda like how if you take a stimulant that raises your heart rate but you aren’t doing anything at the same time, you tend to feel warmer.
I assume that’s how it works, anyways.
We exhale fat. Maybe it makes you breathe harder as well?
Breathe thicker
So, Extremis from Iron Man 3?
So cocaine?
If you’ve ever done cocaine it absolutely wrecks your cardio/endurance in the long term
Who said anything about long term?
And you’re a fucking lasy ass the next day and the only really chears you up is either more or shitty food.
The most natural diet supplement of all time (unfortunately it tasted terrible until they combined it with banana cream smoothie powder).
Yes, give it to me.

Where can I buy several kilos? asking for a friend.
I also had that same idea of creating a small army of super swole mice to help me pull off the ultimate heist on the federal reserve, but since you thought of first I guess you can have it
I’ll be interested when it also mimics the psychological effects of working out.
Creates addiction… ?
SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!
