Researchers from the University of Colorado, the U.S. managed to isolate from the blood python Python molurus the hormone, by which this species of snakes
can increase the size of his heart and other internal organs before eating. As you know, pythons eat very rarely, but at the time of the meal in their blood appears
a special hormone, because that increases the metabolic rate and doubles the volume of the heart due to the growth of the heart muscle of python. Dedicated
hormone is injected into mice and they also found the growth of the heart muscle with the appearance in the blood of the this hormone. Therefore, this hormone
can then be used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, in the case of successful tests.
