Oral estrogen antagonizes the metabolic actions of growth hormone in growth hormone-def... - 0 views

  •  
    One really wonders if estrogen should ever be given orally at all.  Though this study is small, this is consistent with other studies that show that estrogen therapy, particularly oral therapy interferes with growth hormone signaling and thus action.  Oral estrogen decreases IGF-1, increases growth hormone binding protein, lowers metabolism and reduces protein metabolism as monitored by leucine turnover.

  •  
    oral estrogen is a bad choice as it relates to BHRT or HRT for that matter.  Compared to transdermal estrogen, oral estrogen through increasing TBG and slowed liver metabolism results in decreased thyroid hormone production.

    oral estrogen therapy decreased IGF-1 concentrations in those women taking growth hormone, requiring high dosing of HGH versus that in women using estrogen through a transdermal approach.

  • Both pregnancy and estrogen administration were associated with increases in serum reverse T3 concentrations presumably because of their ability to augment thyroxine binding globulin synthesis.
  •  
    oral estrogen supplementation increase reverse T3 and lowers metabolism and leads to weight gain

    Testosterone use in men with PE is rare: 5% in this study and 1.2% in previous study by same authors. Procoagulant thrombophilia is rare, yet the authors still suggested procoagulant tests prior to Testosterone therapy in men, Estrogen therapy in women and oral birth control in women.

  •  
    Birth control pills were found to reduce IGF-1 levels in the short term and long term.  Those that had used birth control pills had lower IGF-1 levels compared to those that had never used birth control pills.  This fits with the current knowledge that oral estrogen reduces HGH and IGF-1.  Those were in post-menopausal women, but this is in pre-menopaus women.  This has implications on health, weight, disease...

Chemistry and Structural Biology of Androgen Receptor - 0 views

  • Healthy adult men typically produce approximately 3–10 mg of testosterone per day
  • circulating levels ranging from 300 to 700 ng/dL in eugonadal men
  • endogenous testosterone secretion is pulsatile and diurnal
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • highest concentration occurring at about 8:00 a.m. and the lowest at about 8:00 p.m.
  • Average serum concentrations and diurnal variation in testosterone diminish as men age
  • 40% is sequestered with high affinity to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)
  • almost 60% is bound with low affinity to albumin
  • 2% as free, unbound hormone
  • 5α-DHT has even greater binding affinity to sex hormone-binding globulin than does testosterone
  • 5α-DHT is only about 5% as abundant in the blood as testosterone and is largely derived from peripheral metabolism of testosterone
  • Both 5α-reduction and aromatization are irreversible processes
  • Approximately 90% of an oral dose of testosterone is metabolized before it reaches the systemic circulation
  • there are three modes of action of testosterone. It may directly act through AR in target tissues where 5α-reductase is not expressed, be converted to 5α-DHT (5–10%) by 5α-reductase before binding to AR, or be aromatized to estrogen (0.2%) and act through the estrogen receptor
  • 5α-DHT is a more potent AR ligand than testosterone
  • has 2–10-fold higher potency than testosterone in androgen-responsive tissues
  • estrogen plays a major role in regulating metabolic process,74,75 mood and cognition,76 cardiovascular disease,77,78 sexual function including libido,79 and bone turnover in men
  • Free testosterone is considered the most “biologically active” form
  • testosterone is the major androgen that acts in the “DHT-independent” tissues, such as skeletal muscle, where 5α-reductase is not expressed or is expressed at a very low level
  •  
    good review of androgens and AR.

  • A recent study of nine patients concluded that the urinary EMR is a good approximation for breast tissue EMR
  • A single study in young women not using oral contraceptives found fair correlation coefficients between urinary and plasma EMR
  • All of nine properly designed epidemiological studies (six prospective case-control studies and three retrospective studies) failed to show a significant relationship between urinary or circulating EMR (2OHE1/16αOHE1) and breast cancer risk
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • premenopausal studies on urinary EMR have suggested a potentially weak inverse relationship, associations were not significantly different compared with postmenopausal or overall combined studies
  • at present, there is no evidence that the EMR can predict breast cancer risk
  •  
    The 2:16 OH estrone pathway is shown to not be predictive biomarker for breast cancer.

  • Transdermal estrogens alone or combined with progesterone might be safe with respect to thrombotic risk.
  • Oral but not transdermal estrogens were associated with an increased thrombotic risk
  • There was no significant association of venous thromboembolism with progesterone

    bioidentical hormones do not increase stroke risk; also, route of delivery impacts stroke risk

  • Serum SHBG levels are negatively associated with obesity and various measures of insulin resistance
  • SHBG levels increase during pharmacological oral estrogen treatment
  • insulin decreases SHBG productio
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The secular decline in SHBG and testosterone serum levels did not lead to a change in the level of free testosterone
  • existence of specific binding sites for SHBG at the cell membrane of steroid-responsive tissues has been shown
  • it is alarming that changes of this magnitude can be detected over such a relatively short time
  • Sex steroids stimulate SHBG production and secretion in vitro
  • Serum testosterone levels decreased and SHBG levels increased with increasing age
  •  
    lower levels of SHBG and serum testosterone were found in more recently born men.  Preceding generations of men produced higher testosterone levels than men born in more recent generations.
