Kent Holtorf: Long Term Weight Loss - More Than Will Power? - 0 views

  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • f greater than 10, it demonstrates there is a degree of leptin resistance contributing to an inability to lose weight
  • that it is difficult to lose weight with leptin resistance. High carbohydrate diets and in particular high-fructose corn syrup is shown to significantly increase leptin resistance and is a likely mechanism that high fructose corn syrup is associated with obesity

  • inactive thyroid hormone called thyroxine
  • it is problem inside the cell that the inactive T4 is not converted to T3 but rather to a mirror image of T3 called reverse T3. The reverse T3 has the opposite effect of T3, blocking the effects of T3 and lowering rather than increasing metabolism.
  • Studies are showing that stress and dieting (especially yo-yo dieting) can set this hormone into action as well as chronic illness such as diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
  • As soon as the body senses a reduction in calories, the production of reverse T3 is stimulated to lower metabolism
  • With chronic dieting or stress, the body often stays in this "starvation mode" with elevated levels of reverse T3 and decreased levels of T3, which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).
  • Studies are showing that such standard testing will miss 80% of thyroid dysfunction

Higher Free Thyroxine Levels Predict Increased Incidence of Dementia in Older Men: The ... - 0 views

  •  
    what a silly study!  They look at free T4, the weakest thyroid hormone and found high levels to be associated with dementia.  However, they failed to assess free T3, the most biologically active, and reverse T3, inactive.  This study was like they intentionally blinded themselves of the body's physiology to study dementia.  This is the problem with a lot of research today: they have forgotten their foundation. Many older adults struggle with poor free T4 to free T3 conversion and high reverse T3 conversion.  So, without knowing what these clients were doing in these pathways makes their conclusion obsolete.

Reverse T3 levels in affective disorders. [Psychiatry Res. 1983] - PubMed result - 0 views

  • In the group of patients with acute major depressive disorder, however, a significant increase in reverse T3 levels and a significant decrease in T3 levels, but no significant difference in T4 or TSH levels
  •  
    low free T3:elevated reverse T3 correlates with major depression and TSH and free T4 do not.

  • The mechanism or the biological significance of such a diversion of T4, from the normally occurring conversion to highly potent T3, to the generation of poorly calorigenic rT3 in systemic illness
  • such a change in the metabolism of T4 can be reversible.

  •  
    Another study regarding reverse T3 that many Endocrinologists need to read.  In this study, the authors find that significantly higher reverse T3 levels were associated with myocardial function impairment (MFI) class IV.  This MFI class IV was also found associated with a decreased fT3/rT3.

Minireview: Cracking the Metabolic Code for Thyroid Hormone Signaling - 0 views

  •  
    Here is a great review of thyroid hormone metabolism published in the very relevant journal Endocrinology.  The review describes the peripheral metabolism of the pro hormone T4 and the peripheral metabolism to free T3 and/or reverse T3 and the associated metabolic implications.  Why don't more endocrinologists read?This is an animal study.

    High fat diet in this small animal study finds an increase in reverse T3 and a decrease in T3.  Higher carbohydrate diet provided no significant change.

  • 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.

  •  
    oxidative stress decreased type 1 deiodinase activity and thus T4 to T3 conversion, resulting in increased rT3 production.  Of interesting note, Alpha lipoic acid increased type I deiodinase activity and T4 to T3 conversion.

    Only abstract available here.  In vitro study finds that rT3 decreased the metabolic effect of T3.  This gives the impression that rT3 has an antagonist effect to T3 on the receptor.
