Improvements in Performance of Heart !!

When a heart is weakened, its ability to deliver oxygen containing blood may be compromised.

An exciting approach that is being investigated to tackle such conditions is to somehow induce the blood to deliver a greater amount of the oxygen that it is carrying. The Nobel Laureate Professor Jean Marie Lehn at the University of Strasbourg, France took mice with damaged hearts and by using a particular chemical compound (myo-inositol trispyro phosphate, ITPP) the blood in these mice was induced to release more oxygen.
Normally hemoglobin can release only about 25 percent of the oxygen, but this chemical results a dramatic improvement in the physical performance of the mice. If the compound was taken dissolved in water, the exercise levels in mice were boosted 35 percent while if given by injection there was 60 percent rise. The substance hold promise for its eventual use in medicine.
In future this chemical will did a lot for our hearts.
