CAN VIAGRA BE CALLED ONE OF THE CURES TO THE COMMON JETLAG?
Date: 2-Dec-2007
It is usually not known that there is a certain link between Jetlag and Viagra. A recent study has shown that not only does Viagra treat erectile dysfunction but it can actually also neutralize the effects of jetlag. Viagra has been observed to restore normal bodily clock functions which have been shifted by six hours.
Viagra was first developed by Pfizer for aid in treatment of angina and high blood pressure by disturbing the enzyme that causes the reduction of cGMP, a natural compound, cGMP plays a very important in the function of penile erection.
In relation to jetlag, cGMP acts in a region of the brain whose role is to regulate the circadian cycle. The circadian cycle is the body's internal clock that determines the waning and the waxing of hormones and also controls the urge to sleep and wake.
In a laboratory test, hamsters were injected with Viagra and subjected to bright lights for 6 hours ahead of the regular time. They were observed by a team of researchers from the Universidad Nacional de Quilmes. They found that the injected hamsters have improved in coping with the time difference by 25 to 50 percent as those compared to the hamsters that were not administered with Viagra. The testing gave out a positive result in the light to dark cycle which is the equivalent of traveling from west to east.
Further test is needed to really identify the possibility of Viagra as an effective treatment to counter the ill feeling of traveler's jetlag. If this can be validated, then the blue pill can cross the barrier of time and human dysfunction.
