About Mildronate: a witty and at the same time stupid idea of ​​my fellow resuscitator

Yesterday I promised to tell about fellow countryman. This guy ten years ago worked as a resuscitator in a children's hospital. There he had to regularly deal with acetone in the blood of children. We are with you this topic already discussed somehow.

When children are hungry, their blood sugar levels drop, nausea, vomiting and drowsiness begin. This usually happens to thin boys up to eight years old.

In order to quickly synthesize glucose in a child's body, muscles are needed, and thin children have few muscles. Therefore, their lean bodies cannot cope with the synthesis of glucose.

They would like to eat carbohydrates, but the drop in sugar itself causes the release of various hormones that provoke nausea. So you can't eat either.

The child becomes sleepy, does not eat, slows down, and then it is already impossible to wake him up. It's time to go to the hospital.

The child's body needs energy at this moment. If the level of glucose in the blood falls, the child's liver cannot cope with the production of glucose, and nausea does not allow eating, then the breakdown of fats and oxidation of fatty acids begins in the child's body.

Yesterday we agreed that fatty acids are a good source of energy. Acetone and similar compounds are a side effect of this process. Therefore, starving children smell like acetone.

And also children who are starving and smelling of acetone are sick. But it's not the acetone that makes them sick. They are sick of low blood glucose levels. The child's body rebelles from lack of nutrition, and vomits it.

Not all parents and not all doctors understand that a child is vomiting from a lack of glucose. It may seem to many that nausea from acetone. Parents, together with doctors, begin to fight acetone.

And so my quick-witted fellow-resuscitator in a professional forum voiced the idea of ​​reducing the amount of acetone in the blood of starving children by injecting mildronate into them. His, of course, metropolitan colleagues immediately spat on the subject of mentioning unproven drugs, and only I, a fellow countryman, understood him.

Damn genius! He also guessed that mildronate by its nature disrupts the oxidation of fatty acids, and therefore there will be less fatty acid oxidation products. Including acetone. Children in intensive care will stop smelling like acetone. It's good? No, brothers, this is bad. This is a monstrous foolishness, because acetone in such a situation is not an enemy for a child, but his best friend.

Acetone is used by the child's body as food for the brain. If the child has little glucose in the blood, then the child's body begins to break down fat. A child's brain might have eaten the same fatty acids as muscles in an athlete, but nerve cells digest fat very slowly, so they need semi-digested fatty acids. And semi-digested fatty acids are acetone. It turns out that with a lack of glucose in the blood, acetone becomes a delicacy for the child's brain. It saves the child's brain from falling into a coma.

From which the conclusion is that you do not need to invent your own author's methods. Because you can accidentally find a way to fix something that you never needed to fix.

Athletes

And from here I got the idea about the stimulating effect of Mildronate on athletes.

Imagine an adult uncle's blood sugar drops from running and jumping. He, too, will spill out counter-insular hormones, but his uncle is already an adult and therefore he will not fall into a coma. And my uncle, an athlete, also has a lot of muscles. With the help of muscles, his body will be able to synthesize glucose on the go.

It turns out that counterinsular hormones like adrenaline will excite such an athlete. At the same time, mildronate will reduce the amount of acetone in the uncle's body, and the brain of an adult uncle will not receive a backup power source.

That is, an athlete under mildronate will not faint like a little boy, because adult massive muscles will help his liver synthesize the minimum glucose level necessary for life. But the brain of such an uncle cannot eat his fill either.

Such an adult muscular elk is running. His brain glucose is at a minimum, there is not enough other food for the brain, adrenaline is splashing in his blood. Have you presented? It is quite a typical picture of an excited active athlete without brakes. Maybe someone likes it. Available?
