Transdermal delivery of bioidentical proge... [J Pharm Pharm Sci. 2010] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Transdermal progesterone levels are quickly transported to saliva.  This quick transport, while serum doesn't equally reflect progesterone, has puzzled many.  Theories have been proposed, yet no answers.   This study looked at whether 5alpha reductase expression in the skin would metabolize the progesterone  and this explain the difference in the two test mediums.  The authors of this study concluded that 5alpha reductase is the not the reason for the difference found in saliva and serum.  the same can be applied to urine as well.

High Testosterone and Low Progesterone Circulating Levels in Premenopausal Patients wit... - 0 views

  •  
    higher Testosterone levels, in conjunction with lower progesterone levels, found in premenopausal women with breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.  The authors point to elevated androgens in breast cancer induction and development.  This same hormone patter, low progesterone/elevated Testosterone, is associated with PCOS in women.

  •  
    Study of memantine finds effect on insulin is the same in the brain as in the pancreas.  In essence, Alzheimer's disease, is in part, a diabetes of the brain disease.

Genomic agonism and phenotypic antagonism between estrogen and progesterone receptors i... - 0 views

  • The presence and activity of PR significantly affect the prognostic value of ER.
  • The observed loss of PR protein expression in a subset of ER+/PR+ breast cancers, because of hypermethylation or deletion of the PR gene locus, results in the loss of ER prognostic value
  • These findings emphasize the clinical value of assessing both PR and ER expression in breast cancer samples
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • PR is an essential modulator of ER-regulated genes but also that it significantly contributes to the prognostic value of ER in ER+/PR+ breast cancers
  • PR-regulated genes have independent prognostic value, and the presence of PR correlates with favorable clinicopathological outcomes
  • this study demonstrates that progestin-activated PR redirects ER chromatin binding and functions as a genomic estrogen agonist and as a phenotypic estrogen antagonist in ER+/PR+ breast cancer cells and human tumors
  • Approximately 80% of ER+ breast cancers are also positive for PR,
  • In isolation, both hormones activate or inhibit cellular processes in similar directions, although the magnitude of these effects is less for progestin alone than for estrogen alone
  • PR-mediated antagonism of estrogenic phenotypes is well documented
  • joint activation of ER and PR antagonized ER-regulated oncogenic processes
  •  
    WOW!!  study finds that progesterone through PR activity antagonizes ER protein expression by the cell.  This has huge implications in breast cancer and possible prostate cancer.  But then again, women don't need progesterone; only estrogen.  The presence of PR correlates with improved clinicopathological outcomes.  The authors do seem to get confused about progesterone and progestins.  They are not one in the same.

    IV vitamin C shown to have selective cytotoxicity, no surprise, on lung cancer and glioblastoma cells via H2O2, while at the same time safe to other cells.

    women with RPL and preeclampsia carry same immunologic NK abnormalities.  Loss of immune tolerance, elevated maternal NK, shown to play role in both.

  •  
    same NK link to RPL, linked to preeclampsia.  NK cells play important role in the development of the spiral arteries in the placenta. It has long been thought, that the placenta was the likely culprit in the development of preeclampsia

Obesity and Gender influence cortisol secretion and metabolism in man - 0 views

  •  
    This study reveals the degree of metabolism dysfunction in obesity. This study suggests that cortisol metabolism is increased in obesity, which results in increased HPA activity resulting in increased peripheral cortisol production. The question to be asked: is serum, salivary, and urinary cortisol results revealing the same function of cortisol. The answer is no.

Relation between markers of inflammation and e... [Med Sci Monit. 2010] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Estradiol found to be associated with elevated CRP and fibrinogen with men.  This association was not found between Testosterone and the same inflammatory markers.  This points to the conversion of Testosterone to estrogen as a contributor to inflammation and CVD in men.

Sex hormones influence on the immune system: basic and clinical aspects in autoimmunity - 0 views

  •  
    high conversion of testosterone to estrogen conversion in men is from increased aromatase activity.  Inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, TNF-alpha, has been shown to increase aromatase activity and at the same time increase IL-6 and other inflammatory cytokines is the result of increased aromatase activity.

  •  
    this study states that progesterone promotes breast growth and has implications of breast cancer.  However, this study looked at progestins not progesterone.  Studies have shown a reduction of breast cancer risk with progesterone and an increase with progestins.  It would have been nice to have looked at "progesterone" metabolites.  This study shows the flaw that many have: the intermix progesterone and progestins as if they are one in the same and they are clearly not

VITAMINS AND ENTACAPONE IN LEVODOPA-INDUCED HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLL... - 0 views

  •  
    It appears that Levodopa administration in those with Parkinson's disease will deplete methylation (SAMe), and thus increase homocysteine, which is a neurotoxin.  Additionally, depletion of methylation is associated with depression, commonly seen in Parkinson's disease

  •  
    progesterone shown to provide substantial reduction in volume of infarct in rat stroke model.  This is very promising, and with with other studies revealing the same benefit in the human brain, progesterone should become a part of initial treatment in those with acute brain injuries and should be evaluated for those with aging diseases of the brain.

  •  
    Resveratrol reduces EPC ageining through increased Telomerase activity, and thus increasing telomere length.  Estradiol has been shown to do the same.

  •  
    IV glutathione shown to be same and provide mild improvement in Parkinson's disease.  This is a small pilot study, but a good place to start.  The likelyhood is that glutathione is more beneficial early in Parkinson's disease to slow disease progression.

A Randomized Pilot Study of Monthly Cycled Testosterone Replacement or Continuous Testo... - 0 views

  •  
    study looks at cycling Testosterone as athletes do.  The point to take from this study is that they lowered the standard Testosterone dosage by 50% and got the same results.  Traditional medicine drastically overdoses men with Testosterone.

ingentaconnect The Role of Orexin System in Antipsychotics Induced Weight Gain - 0 views

  • The orexins modulate feeding behavior, some metabolic processes and arousal.
  •  
    antipsychotics are associated with significant weight gain.  One proposed mechanism is the increased activation of orexin neurons in the areas of the brain (lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area) that regulate eating.  Amphetamines stimulate the same, just a drastically reduced levels

Human gut microbiota in obesity and after gastric bypass - 0 views

  •  
    It is proposed that the balance of bacteria in the gut play a critical role in energy utilization and obesity. This study showed that bypass surgery altered the gut bacteria to favor weight loss: decrease in firmicutes species. But, do we really need gastric bypass to do that? Of course not. Probiotics will do the same.

  •  
    neuroinflammaiton, also described as excitotoxicity, found in the brains of children/young adults that lived in high air pollution areas.  Neuroinflammation (IL-6, IL-1, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma...) found in the brains of these children and young adults.  This is the same process found in Alzheimers and other excitotoxicity disease states.  Addtionally, it is also involved in most chronic diseases of aging.
