Exercise in Fanwood Helps Eliminate Toxic Proteins from Muscles

A new animal-based study has found that daily exercise helps facilitate the elimination of proteins and organelles in the muscles that are no longer functional.

Investigators say the removal of these components is vital, because when they accumulate, they become toxic and contribute to muscle cell impairment and death.

Principle investigator Dr. Julio Cesar Batista Ferreira explains, "Imagine the muscles working in a similar manner to a refrigerator, which needs electricity to run.

If this signal ceases because you pull the plug on the fridge or block the neurons that innervate the muscles, before long, you find that the food in the fridge and the proteins in the muscles will start to spoil at different speeds according to their composition."
