Homocysteine and MTHFR Mutations - 0 views

  • The most common MTHFR mutation is called the MTHFR C677T mutation
  • Another common mutation is called MTHFR A1298C
  • Having only one mutation, ie, being heterozygous, is, from a medical perspective, irrelevant. Even when 2 MTHFR mutations are present (eg, 2 C677T mutations, or one C677T mutation and one A1298C mutation)
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Although these mutations do impair the regulation of homocysteine, adequate folate levels essentially “cancel out” this defect.
  • Regardless of whether you have an MTHFR mutation in both genes or not, the treatment for elevated homocysteine is the same—dietary intervention and supplementation with folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12
  • Overall, evidence from these studies indicates that, so long as the homocysteine level is normal, MTHFR mutations do not significantly increase the risk of heart attack or stroke
  • Studies investigating the association of MTHFR mutations and venous blood clots have been inconsistent, with some studies showing a slight association, but most studies have not shown any association
  •  
    Good review of MTHFR and homocysteine.

Effect of Tongkat Ali on stress hormones and psychological mood state in moderately str... - 0 views

  • At the age of 60, testosterone levels are typically only 40-50% of youthful levels and may be lower
  • Eurycoma contains a group of small peptides referred to as “eurypeptides” that are known to have effects in improving energy status and sex drive in studies of rodents
  • The effects of tongkat ali in restoring normal testosterone levels appears to be less due to actually “stimulating” testosterone synthesis, but rather by increasing the release rate of “free” testosterone from its binding hormone, sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG)
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The current study found that daily supplementation with tongkat ali root extract (200 mg/day) improves stress hormone profile (lower cortisol; higher testosterone) and certain mood state parameters (lower tension, anger, and confusion)
  • tongkat ali supplementation (100 mg/day) improved lean body mass, 1-RM strength, and arm circumference to a significantly greater degree compared to a placebo group.
  • In a recent 12-week trial [46] of Eurycoma longifolia supplementation (300 mg/day), men (30–55 years of age) showed significant improved compared to placebo in the Physical Functioning domain of the SF-36 quality of life survey
  • sexual libido was increased by 11%
  • In men with low testosterone levels (average age 51 years), one month of daily supplementation with tongkat ali extract (200 mg/day) resulted in a significant improvement in serum testosterone levels and quality-of-life parameters
  • rise in cortisol and drop in testosterone is an early signal of “overtraining”
  •  
    Tongkat Ali, commonly known as long jack, is found to reduce stress and increase Testosterone.  Stress is one of the common causes of low T in men.  It appears that long Jack functions as an adaptogen.

Urinary Cortisol and Cortisol Metabolite Excretion in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - 0 views

  •  
    It has been suggested in the literature that low salivary cortisol is a common finding in those with chronic fatigue. This study found no difference in the cortisol metabolite excretion. This would suggest that an increase metabolization of cortisol exists in those with CFS.

Intratumoral androgen biosynthesis in prostate cancer pathogenesis and response to therapy - 0 views

  • Additional studies have similarly found that prostate tissue levels of DHT in PCa patients treated with ADT therapy before prostatectomy declined by only ∼75% versus declines of ∼95% in serum levels
  • In a recent study in healthy men, treatment for 1 month with a GnRH antagonist to suppress testicular androgen synthesis caused a 94% decline in serum testosterone, but only a 70–80% decline in prostate tissue testosterone and DHT
  • progression to CRPC was associated with increased intratumoral accumulation or synthesis of testosterone.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • the intraprostatic synthesis of testosterone from adrenal-derived precursors likely accounts for the relatively high testosterone levels in prostate after ADT
  • In addition, AR activity in these cells is likely further enhanced by multiple mechanisms that sensitize AR to low levels of androgens
  • higher affinity ligand DHT (approximately eightfold higher affinity
  • type 2 5α-reductase (SRD5A2) being the major enzyme in prostate
  • reduce DHT to 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol (3α-androstanediol; Ji et al. 2003, Rizner et al. 2003), which is then glucuronidated to form 3α-androstanediol glucuronide by the enzymes UDP glycosyltransferase 2, B15 (UGT2B15) or UGT2B17
  • DHT in prostate is inactivated by the enzyme AKR1C2, which is also termed 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 3 (3α-HSD type 3
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      The metabolite 3-alpha androstanediol is NOT inactive as this author states.  This DHT metabolite actually can stimulate  ER alpha receptors in the prostate.
  • AKR1C1, is also expressed in prostate. However, in contrast to AKR1C2, it converts DHT primarily to 5α-androstane-3β,17β-diol (3β-androstanediol; Steckelbroeck et al. 2004), which is a potential endogenous ligand for the estrogen receptor β
  • Significantly, intraprostatic testosterone levels were not substantially reduced relative to controls with normal serum androgen levels, although DHT levels were reduced to 18% of controls
  • testosterone levels in many of the CRPC samples were actually increased relative to control tissues (Montgomery et al. 2008). While DHT levels were less markedly increased, this may have reflected DHT catabolism
  •  
    This article discusses the failure of androgen deprivation therapy and prostate cancer.  This failure is quite common.  The authors point to alpha-DHT as the primary mechanism through AR stimulation.  However, we know that DHT metabolites also stimulate estrogen receptors.
