Triiodothyronine and breast cancer. [World J Clin Oncol. 2014] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    T3 may have effects similar to Estradiol in breast cell proliferation.  This may be, but what about the effects on increased metabolism and resultant fat loss which leads to reduce inflammation...I believe this is all about context of the environment in the individual and the importance of customizing therapy.

Western Diet-Induced Dysbiosis in Farnesoid X Receptor Knockout Mice Causes Persistent ... - 0 views

  •  
    Western diet (high trans fats and sugar) linked to altered gut flora and resultant liver inflammation.  It would have been nice to have followed inflammatory biomarkers i.e. LPS.  This sounds just like metabolic syndrome.

  •  
    Macronutrients provide some difference in cortisol production.  Carbs, in this study, were found to increase adrenal and extra-adrenal equally, whereas fats/proteins stimulated adrenal cortisol more than extra-adrenal.

THERAPY OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE: Testosterone supplementation and body composition: result... - 0 views

  •  
    new study finds Testosterone therapy in men with low T significantly reduces fat, increases lean muscle mass, and reduces fasting glucose and insulin levels.  Improvements in total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL was also seen.  Only abstract available currently.

  •  
    This article discusses how an imbalance gut bacteria balance leads to endotoxemia and resultant obesity and diabetes. So, the balance of gut bacteria plays a role in obesity. Really changes ones view of how the body interacts and how disease develops through dysfunction.

Endocrinology of the Aging Male - 0 views

  • All steps beyond the formation of pregnenolone take place in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
  • Cytochrome P450 enzyme, CYP11A is located on the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyses the rate limiting step of pregnenolone synthesis
  • Estrogen and related steroids, thyroid hormone and insulin increase SHBG levels.
  • ...21 more annotations...
  • SHBG decreases in response to androgens, and in the presence of hypothyroidism, and insulin resistance.
  • Plasma SHBG levels tend to increase with increasing age
  • The apparent metabolic clearance rate of testosterone is decreased in elderly as compared to younger men
  • Testosterone circulates predominantly bound to the plasma proteins SHBG and albumin, with high and low affinity respectively
  • Testosterone is secreted in a pulsatile fashion
  • Current clinical guidelines suggest at least two measurements
  • In adult men, there is a well-documented diurnal variation (particularly in younger subjects) in testosterone levels, which are highest in the early morning and progressively decline throughout the day to a nadir in the evening
  • In older men, the diurnal variation is blunted
  • it is standard practice for samples to be obtained between 0800 and 1100 h.
  • Testosterone and DHEA decline, whereas LH, FSH, and SHBG rise
  • DHT remains constant despite the decline of its precursor testosterone
  • Longitudinal studies show an average annual decline of 1–2% total testosterone levels, with decline in free testosterone more rapid because of increases in SHBG with aging
  • Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) data show DHEA, DHEAS, and Ae declining at 2–3% per year
  • DHT showed no cross-sectional age trend
  • Androstanediol glucuronide (AAG) declined cross-sectionally with age in the MMAS sample, at 0.6% per year
  • The EMAS data show that, consistent with the longitudinal findings of MMAS (Figure 1), the core hormonal pattern with increasing age is suggestive of incipient primary testicular dysfunction with maintained total testosterone and progressively blunted free testosterone associated with higher LH

      This author proves the point in the review of these two studies, that TT may remain constant in aging men, however, FT drops.
  • obesity impairs hypothalamic/pituitary function
  • Androgen deprivation in men with prostate cancer has been associated with increased insulin resistance, worse glycemic control, and a significant increase in risk of incident diabetes
  • Low serum testosterone is associated with the development of metabolic syndrome 116, 117 and type 2 diabetes. 118 SHBG has been inversely correlated with type 2 diabetes
  • Improvement in insulin sensitivity with testosterone treatment has been reported in healthy 121 and diabetic 122 adult men
  • In studies conducted in men with central adiposity, testosterone has been shown to inhibit lipoprotein lipase activity in abdominal adipose tissue leading to decreased triglyceride uptake in central fat depots. 123
  •  
    great review of hormone changes associated with aging in men.

  • Adipose-selective 11beta -HSD1 transgenic mice exhibited elevated intra-adipose and portal, but not systemic corticosterone levels, abdominal obesity, hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and hypertension
  • transgenic overexpression of 11beta -HSD1 in liver yielded an attenuated metabolic syndrome with mild insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and fatty liver, but not obesity or glucose intolerance
  •  
    11-betaHSD1 expression and effect is site specific.

LeptiPro - Intelligent Weight Control - 0 views

  • "leptin resistance."
  • In order for leptin to control body weight and metabolism, it must do so from the hypothalamic centers in the brain,
  • When brain levels of leptin are low due to "leptin resistance" - even if there are high circulating blood levels of leptin - food cravings and weight gain occur because the body believes that it is hungry and goes into a state of continued fat storage.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • By reversing "leptin resistance," through the blocking of PTP1 B, the function of the protein hormone leptin is restored so that the hypothalamic center can normally and effectively modulate body weight and metabolism.
  • Published studies demonstrate that the botanically derived phytochemical, isolated and purified single-peak Isoquinoline Alkaloid Berberine Hel, specifically and potently inhibits human Protein Tyrosine Phosphates 1B (PTP1 B).

  • Our results indicate that long-term EGCG treatment attenuated the development of obesity, symptoms associated with the metabolic syndrome, and fatty liver. Short-term EGCG treatment appeared to reverse preexisting high-fat-induced metabolic pathologies in obese mice. These effects may be mediated by decreased lipid absorption, decreased inflammation, and other mechanisms.
