So they can partially block some effects of the exercise serum with rEGF, but I hope they (or someone else) figures out what all of the other active components are.

It might be interesting to make an exercise cocktail.

Imagine if all gyms were replaced with cocktail bars. Has science fiction done this yet?

I work in a pharma company and it comes up every time a marketing person comes to a science meeting in a particular department. The short version is that it's very very hard, even if we can profile all of the changes during exercise (which we can't), you can't just use that to know what to administer to someone.

At that point it sounds like it would be easier to jab an electrode in your neck matrix-style and have your body go through a programmed exercise while you watch a movie or something.

Thanks for this reply -- it's so interesting to hear about what happens in other disciplines. One reason HN is so cool!
