Women with breast cancer have flatter, lower cortisol patterns when compared to healthy control individuals.

Very real and scary statistics. Obesity is the greatest health problem facing the US today. 42%-51% by 2030...Ouch! Ever seen WALL-E. However, it is not the govt responsibility to control what we eat. Their regulations are in part responsible for this. This needs to be attacked through education, personal responsibility, and changing the way medicine works (of which many of the current medical boards/associations are opposed too).

This study finds no association between PCOS and inflammation, when matched with age/BMI controls.  However, inflammation was associated with increased BMI.  Not all women with PCOS are overweight.  But, the majority are and this would contribute to inflammation and thus CVD.

vaccinations as given between 1994 and 1999 were administered to rhesus macaque monkeys. The challenge group showed altered brain development versus the control group of saline. This was a small pilot study, but well designed.

testosterone replacement in those with low T shown to improve insulin sensitivity, diabetes control, and metabolic syndrome in men.

Exercise, DHEA, and DHT increased GLUT4 uptake of glucose, increasing glycemic control.

nice review of CB1 receptors and the role they play in obesity. Endocabbinoid receptors play an important role in the hypothalamus control of metabolism and energy. CB1 is active both centrally and peripherally. Increased CB1 activity increases fat storage; decrease CB1 activity increases fatty acid oxidation through adiponectin.

High intensity training results in effective fat loss.  This study followed individuals over a 12 week cycle.  They performed HIT at 20 mins 3 x weekly.  Fat loss was statistically significant when compared to control group.

Those with higher vitamin D levels are associated with lower weight gain postmenopausal. Now, this could be due to increased outside exercise and activity.  However, due the NF-KappaB inhibition and resultant inflammation, it makes since that vitamin D reduces weight gain.  Plus it improves Insulin function and helps to control blood glucose.

no difference in salivary cortisol, melatonin, catecholamines seen in women with breast cancer versus healthy people in control group

Oral vitamin C shown to reduce fast blood glucose, post meal blood glucose, and HgbA1C.  This study was down with metformin.  Vitamin C was used with metformin in those with type II DM.  This supports the use of vitamin C in blood sugar control.  Vitamin C does not increase blood glucose levels.

alpha lipoic acid improves glucose control in individuals with type II DM.  This study showed decreased lactic acid and pyruvate levels with alpha lipoic acid therapy.  Therapy in this study consisted of ALA of 600 mg twice daily.

low Testosterone shown to be associated with insulin resistance, poor glucose control, elevated HgbA1c, and obesity

good review of understanding of how poor glucose control, oxidative stress result in AGE and Alzheimer's disease.

increasing HgbA1c associated decreasing brain volume in the elderly population.  This decrease in brain volume was found in asymptomatic individuals.  Take home:  poor blood glucose control and increasing glycation of hemoglobin results in brain loss.

The medical field continues to be amazed that people are different. More, that different people groups are different.  This study found that black women with PCOS have an elevated risk of metabolic syndrome when compared to white women with PCOS.  Body weight was a variable that was controlled for.  This was a retrospective study.

randomized study finds no difference in attention, memory in children born to mothers supplementing with DHA.  Good randomized design, but several problems.  First, did these women need supplementation.  No testing was done to determine need.  They may have needed more or none at all--the standard throw a dart on the wall and hope it sticks paradigm.  Second, Neurologcial development starts from day one, so do properly determine effect, the authors need to start support at conception or even better- before.  This follows that logic that women desiring conception should start extra folic acid 3 months prior. The literature is moving in the right direction, but they are still limiting themselves.
