Scientists have found an unusual way to fight cancer

Proper physical activity in the human body increases the amount of cancer-fighting proteins.

Australian scientists from Edith Cowan University believe that during exercise, the amount of proteins aimed at fighting cancer increases. The New Atlas writes about it.

Researchers conducted an experiment involving 10 men with prostate cancer. They all completed a 12-week exercise program. At the end of which it became clear that the recipients had higher levels of myokines in the blood. These are proteins made by skeletal muscles. They prevent tumor growth and trigger many other anti-cancer processes in the body.

In an additional study, nine patients with advanced prostate cancer completed a 34-minute exercise session on a stationary bicycle. The scientists took their blood samples immediately before the training, immediately after it, and another half hour later.

The results showed that in the blood of patients taken immediately after training, there was an increase in the level of myokines. And 30 minutes later he was back to normal.

“Later, we studied the proteins in the lab by placing them in prostate cancer cells and found that myokines inhibited tumor growth by 17%. The results help to understand why cancer patients who play sports progress more slowly in cancer patients. But there is still work to be done. much work, but the results of the study are encouraging. Although we cannot give the exact duration of training that patients need, but it is suggested that it is just more than 20 minutes of daily physical activity aimed at muscle growth, “scientists conclude.

Remember, a new study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that a higher level of physical activity and less time in a sitting position can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
