wow, did you see this?
Here’s some additional information: The researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University are testing a new agent as a possible treatment for sickle cell disease. The agent is called 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furfural or 5HMF. Medicinal Chemist Donald Abraham, Ph.D., says the molecule occurs naturally as a breakdown product in plants and some foods. Researchers have found 5HMF appears to have anti-sickling properties in red blood cells. The drug works by increasing the supply of oxygen inside the red blood cells, reducing their ability to sickle. Studies in mice showed the animals that were treated with the agent had significantly longer survival rates compared to untreated sickle cell mice.
this could be the next performance enhancing "supplement" for Major League Baseball. If so, we could make a killing... lmao
