    Testosterone therapy followed over 5 years in hypogonadal men found physiologic replacement of Testosterone decreased Total cholesterol, decreased LDL, increased HDL, decreased blood pressure, decreased blood glucose, decreased HgbA1c, decreased CRP, ALT, and AST. All men with metabolic syndrome  should have appropriate hormone evaluation done.

exercise liver enzymes

  • We accept 1–2 times the upper limit of normal to be attributable to exercise
  • Some physicians, whether they are gastroenterol-ogists or internists, forget that exercise can cause this abnormality
  • it is good for patients with liver disease to exercise, particularly those with fatty liver disease
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • we see a trend toward improved ALT and AST levels in patients performing moderate exercise, regardless of the etiology of their liver disease
  • We therefore discourage very heavy exercise in these patients, but a moderate amount does not cause a problem
  • once enzymes are abnormal, they remain abnormal for up to 1 week. Were subjects to exercise vigorously again during that week, transaminase levels could increase further
  • there is a ratio that in healthy individuals is considered normal. AST levels normally measure at approximately 0.8 of ALT levels. A dysregularity of this ratio can also signal hepatic illness but usually inflammation of any kind affects both measures
  • Nathan Goodyear on 14 Mar 18
     
    Vigorous exercise yields abnormal liver enzymes.  How one defines vigorous exericse is going to vary from person to person.

    IV vitamin C therapy shown to improved the response of blood pressure to acetylcholine and nitroprusside in those patients with essential hypertension.  This effect was not found in NAC.  Vitamin C acts as a superoxide scavenger and glutathione recycler.

    study finds soccer training is associated with increased oxidative stress as measured by TBARS, SOD, superoxide anion and other oxidative stress load biomarkers.  Astaxanthin was associated with less oxidative stress.

  • In this group, the 5-year survivalrateduesolelytocytotoxicchemotherapywas14%
  • There is also no convincing evidence that usingregimens with newer and more expensive drugs are anymore beneficial than the regimens used in the 1970s
  • two systematic reviews of chemotherapy inrecurrent or metastatic breast cancer have not been able toshow any survival benefit
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The five most common adult malignancies (colorectal, breast, prostate, melanoma and lung cancer)
  • n breast cancer, the optimal regimen(s) for cytotoxicchemotherapy in recurrent/metastatic disease are still notdefined, despite over 30 years of ‘research’ and a plethora of RCTs since the original Cooper regimen was published in1969
  • The five most ‘chemo-sensitive’ cancers,namely testis, Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lym- phoma, cervix and ovary
  • only 13 out of the 22 malignancies evaluated showed any improvement in 5-year survival, and theimprovement was greater than 10% in only three of those13 malignancies
  • the contribution of curative and adjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adults is 2.3% in Australia and 2.1% in the USA
  • a benefit of less than 2.5% is likely to be applicable in other developed countries
  •   Overview The Contribution o
  • the benefit of cytotoxic chemotherapy may have been overestimated for cancers of oesophagus, stomach,rectum and brain.
  • this reflects the presentation of results as a ‘reduction in risk’ rather than asan absolute survival benefit[89,90]and by exaggerating theresponse rates by including ‘stable disease’
  • recent studies have documented impaired cognitive function inwomen receiving adjuvant treatment for breast cancer
  • the 5-year survival rate due solely to cytotoxicchemotherapy was 1.6%
  • the value of palliative chemotherapy has beenquestioned
  • Nathan Goodyear on 15 May 18
     
    Incredibly low impact of cytotoxic chemotherapy despite its wide spread utilization.  This article referenced cost yet did not evaluate the cost of cytotoxic side effect.  The question to answer: is Cytotoxic chemotherapy a valid treatment, at all, for the majority of cancers.
