Heart of Python Snake for Human Heart Disease Drugs

Python snakes are very dangerous and can be fatal. But a new finding suggests that the heart of python can be used for the treatment of heart disease in humans.

Researchers from the University of Colorado analyzed why snakes like to eat blood python that abortion is rich in triglycerides and stored in the heart muscle can be free from damage that can lead to heart disease.

"Apparently this is because the heart is python capable of burning fat efficiently without hazard,"

In people who have heart disease or high blood pressure often swell the heart muscle due to too hard to pump blood is usually caused by plaque buildup. This condition makes the heart can not work efficiently and lead to damage.

Because the study was done to create a drug therapy that could push the ailing heart to return to healthy growth. One is to use python heart.

Researchers discovered the existence of certain molecules that provide signals for the heart to keep growing and keep the damage. Furthermore, researchers used mice to perform the testing.

The results obtained by researchers is the heart of rats can still grow and there are no signs of muscle rigidity that accompanies the growth of the heart in patients with heart disease.

Expected results of this study will be used to treat heart disease in humans. The results of this study have been reported in the journal Science.
