Chapter 480: New Biological Century(1/2)
After this news reached China, countless stock investors expressed envy.
Because domestic pharmaceutical stocks not only did not rise, but actually fell.
Even if several listed companies have issued announcements that they will increase investment in the research and development of weight loss drugs, it will not help.
Market funds simply don’t buy it.
Obviously, investors have little confidence in them.
On online forums, discussions on genetic potions remain high.
Most people believe that if this genetic potion can really achieve the effects mentioned by the media, then there may be no fat people in the world in the future, which will have varying degrees of positive impact on human health and even life span.
Because for ordinary people, many diseases are caused by obesity.
Others are lamenting that American technology is once again at the forefront of the world, but our technology companies always seem to be one step behind, expressing some disappointment with domestic scientific research institutions.
The side confirms that statement.
——My own failure is terrible, but the success of others is even more heart-wrenching.
But it is worth mentioning that not long after, analysts from Infinity Securities raised the ratings of six domestic pharmaceutical listed companies.
All have been upgraded to Grade A.
this action.
Many domestic investment institutions are left scratching their heads and asking around for gossip.
They are now more knowledgeable and know that Infinite Securities has a lot of inside information that ordinary people cannot have access to.
With every move you make, there may be a potential investment opportunity.
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.
The Rockefeller University is a private research university located in New York City, United States. It is famous for its biomedical research and is one of the universities with the most Nobel Prize winners in physiology or medicine.
The school's predecessor was the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, founded in 1901 with donations from the Rockefeller Foundation. It 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 trained many outstanding biomedical scientists and made significant contributions to the development of modern medicine.
In 1965, the institute changed its name to Rockefeller University and became an independent university, but medical research and education remained its core mission.
In the two weeks before the trial began, news of the recruitment of obese volunteers spread rapidly through the media and social networks.
There is an endless stream of applicants.
At one time it was as high as millions.
As a result, the official website of Rockefeller University cannot be opened.
This is enough to show how huge the number of obese people in the United States is.
They are extremely eager 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. They came from different age groups and different professional identities, including students, teachers, company employees, business bosses, transportation workers, etc.
A common goal brings them together here today.
On the day the experiment began, Rockefeller University was extremely 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 many other indicators.
to ensure they are physically fit to participate in the trial.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent staff to supervise the entire trial.
In addition, many well-known American media such as Science and CNN will be filming simultaneously.
After all, people across the United States are now paying attention to this genetic weight loss potion.
Once successful, it will completely change the existing obesity treatment methods 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 started, the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit tense.
The researchers wore white coats, masks and gloves to ensure the accuracy and safety of the experiment.
There was a silver tray on the mobile workbench in front of them.
There are 100 syringes containing genetic weight loss potions neatly arranged above.
All are the latest batch flown from Xiangjiang by the Infinite Company's biological laboratory.
The researchers first injected each volunteer with a placebo to observe their body's reaction.
After 30 minutes, when it was confirmed that the volunteers did not feel any discomfort, the researchers began to inject them with genetic weight loss potions.
During the injection process, the researchers were very careful. They precisely controlled the dose of the syringe. At the same time, they also constantly communicated with the volunteers and asked them how they felt to ensure that they did not experience any discomfort in their bodies.
After the injection was completed, the volunteers were immediately arranged to a separate ward and entered the observation period.
"What's going on? My body suddenly feels so itchy!"
An obese volunteer who weighed 300 pounds suddenly sat up in bed.
He is a twenty-year-old college student at the New York Institute of Technology, named Morten Hart, who suffers from congenital obesity.
There have been many overweight and obese people in his family.
Almost all of them are under 60 years old due to obesity.
Due to his weight, Hart has been ridiculed by his classmates since he was a child, and was even subjected to school violence. This time, with the encouragement of his parents, he signed up to participate in this clinical trial and was lucky enough to be selected.
The biological activity in the gene potion will be continuously absorbed by the capillaries after entering the human body. Due to the large amount, Hart soon felt itchy in his body.
But this level of itching is still tolerable.
So he was still lying on the bed.
After another five minutes, Hart suddenly shouted: "It's hot...it's so hot!"
Researchers paid close attention to his blood pressure and heart rate and found that both had increased significantly.
They immediately started preparing to inject Hart with beta-blockers, hoping to quickly lower his blood pressure and heart rate, otherwise their continued rise would soon lead to life-threatening injuries.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Professor Larson hurriedly stopped them.
Because he found that Hart's blood pressure began to stabilize after it rose to around 150mmHg.
Hart couldn't bear the heat anymore and began to take off his clothes. At this moment, his whole body was steaming with heat. The gene potion was constantly stimulating the metabolic activity of his body's cells and decomposing excess nutrients in his body.
The sudden activity of these cells caused his body to generate high temperature.
"I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet!"
Hart showed a painful expression and hurriedly ran into the ward bathroom.
There was a sound of rushing water.
Two researchers, wearing masks, followed closely beside him and carefully recorded his physical reactions. These are very important clinical data.
After a while, Hart finally walked out of the toilet with sweat streaming down his face and feeling a little exhausted.
The excretion he just had made him feel much better, but his body seemed to be getting greasier.
Researchers soon discovered that what he was producing was not sweat, but oil.
This shows that genetic weight loss drugs have a very rapid and significant effect on stimulating metabolic cells in the human body. After promoting division and necrosis, fat cells are excreted from the pores of the skin.
Little Fatty Hart was extremely excited: "It's amazing! I can feel that my body is much lighter!"
The researchers asked him to stand on a scale and take measurements.
Comparing the previously recorded data, it was found that in just half an hour, his weight had already decreased by about 3.3 pounds. (1 pound ≈ 1.1 kilograms)
Although the proportion of water in his excrement is relatively high.
But this effect can still be said to be very amazing.
Immediately afterwards, another four hours passed. During this period, Hart went to the bathroom a total of seven times and took a shower to wash away the oil exuded from the skin of his body.
In order to make this clinical trial more rigorous.
The researchers provided Hart with a rich, high-calorie lunch.
At the same time, encourage him to eat according to his usual food intake to observe the effect of the genetic weight loss potion in this situation.
When the researchers measured his weight again at eight o'clock in the evening, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
In less than 24 hours, Hart's weight dropped from 300 pounds to 289 pounds!
You know, if a normal person wants to lose ten pounds, he must carry out long-term strict diet control and cooperate with appropriate aerobic exercise.
But 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 to freeze the scene.
in the next period of time.
