    This study finds most "western" diseases are the result of environment and only <5% genetic. Evidence is growing that the environment is the largest contributor to disease.  The greatest environment contributor is diet. This is great, because we can change diet...if one wants too. This article also shows are current understanding on how dietary inflammation results in insulin/glucose disruption.

    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).

  • In a cohort of well-trained athletes, we demonstrated that intense endurance exercise causes an acute reduction in RV function that increases with race duration and correlates with increases in biomarkers of myocardial injury
  • no relationship between LV function and biomarker levels
  • focal gadolinium enhancement and increased RV remodelling were more prevalent in those athletes with a longer history of competitive sport, suggesting that repetitive ultra-endurance exercise may lead to more extensive RV change and possible myocardial fibrosis

  • he cardiac impact of both acute and cumulative exercise is greatest on the RV.
  • Greater reductions in RV function occurred in those athletes competing for a longer duration, suggesting that the heart has a finite capacity to maintain the increased work demands of exercise
  • We enrolled elite and subelite athletes and found a significant association between fitness (VO2max) and the reduction in post-race RVEF
  • Previous investigators have documented reductions in RV function in less trained subjects over the marathon distance
  • cardiac injury is greatest in the least trained
  • Even after many years of detraining, cardiac dilation may not completely regress in elite athletes
  • The focus on well-trained athletes may be of particular relevance, given that they perform exercise of highest intensity and duration most frequently, and, thus, may be at a greater risk of cumulative injury.
  • The lack of correlation between increases in troponin and changes in LV function seen in this study has been previously interpreted as evidence that post-exercise elevations in cardiac biomarkers are benign.
  • a significant correlation between changes in RVEF and post-race biomarker levels and this relationship was even stronger in the athletes who completed the race of longest duration, the ultra-triathlon
  • It has been demonstrated that ventricular load increases with exercise intensity and is greater for the RV than the LV,29 thus potentially explaining why the RV is more susceptible to fatigue after prolonged exercise.
  • BNP release during intense exercise is associated with greater relative increases in RV systolic pressures, but not LV pressures
  • BNP may provide a measure of both acute RV load and the resultant fatigue which occurs when this load is sustained
  • The correlations with RVEF, but not LVEF, provide further evidence of the differential effects of intense exercise on RV and LV function
  • This study demonstrates, for the first time, an association between endurance exercise of increasing duration and structural, functional, and biochemical markers of cardiac dysfunction in highly trained athletes
  • Functional abnormalities were confined to the RV and were largely reversible 1 week following the event
  • there remained a significant minority of athletes in whom there was evidence of myocardial fibrosis in the interventricular septum
  • RV abnormalities may be acquired through cumulative bouts of intense exercise and provides direction for prospective investigations aimed at elucidating whether extreme exercise may promote arrhythmias in some athletes.
  • the acute injury and chronic remodelling of the myocardium both disproportionately affect the RV and it remains possible that the two are linked.
  • focal DGE was confined to the interventricular septum and commonly at the site of RV attachment
  • emerging evidence that intense endurance exercise may be associated with an excess in arrhythmic disorders, the mechanisms for which remain unexplained
  • RVEF (and not LVEF) was reduced in athletes with complex ventricular arrhythmias when compared with healthy athletes and non-athletes without arrhythmias

  • these findings show that estrogen stimulates human prostate epithelial stem cell self-renewal and progenitor cell amplification (prostasphere size), with the greatest effects observed at lower E2 doses.
  • Similar to E2, BPA increased prostasphere number and size with significant and maximal effects observed at 10 nM BPA
  • Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that, similar to E2, BPA increases stem cell self-renewal and progenitor amplification in normal human prostate epithelial cells
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • these findings provide further support that E2 and BPA maintain the stem-like state within the normal prostate epithelial cell population
  • Our previous findings demonstrated that normal prostate stem-progenitor cells within the prostaspheres expressed ERα and ERβ, implicating them as direct targets for E2 and BPA action
  • p-Akt and p-Erk, well established downstream targets of membrane-associated ERs
  • BPA and E2 had equimolar capacity for activation of these rapid signaling pathways in human prostaspheres, thus identifying a dynamic and robust signaling pathway initiated by low-dose BPA exposure in prostate stem-progenitor cells.
  • these findings indicate that both rapid membrane-initiated estrogen action and genomic ER signaling pathways are operative in human prostate progenitor cells.
  • these results document the fact that levels of bioactive BPA in the present study are similar to levels found in human umbilical cord blood and newborns in the general population
  • the present findings identify for the first time that in vivo exposure of the human prostate epithelium to low doses of BPA significantly increases the susceptibility of the human prostate epithelium to hormonal carcinogenesis.
  • The current study provides clear evidence that, similar to E2, normal human prostate stem and progenitor cells are direct targets for BPA action
  • Both hormones increased stem-like cell numbers in primary prostate epithelial cultures in a dose-dependent manner and augmented the number and size of 3-D cultured prostaspheres, markers of stem cell self-renewal and progenitor cell proliferation, respectively
  • signaling pathways engaged by estrogens through these separate receptors are multiple and complex, including both membrane-initiated signaling and genomic activation via ER transcriptional activity
  • Estrogen action is mediated by ERα and ERβ
  • the current results indicate that developmental exposure to BPA, at doses routinely found in humans, significantly increases the cancer risk in human prostate epithelium in response to elevated estrogen levels in an androgen-supported milieu. Because relative estrogen levels rise in aging men, we suggest that humans may be susceptible to BPA-driven prostate disease in a manner similar to that in the rodent models.
  • We propose that early-life perturbations in estrogen signaling including inappropriate exposure to BPA have the potential to amplify and modify the stem-progenitor cell populations within the human prostate gland and, in so doing, alter the normal homeostatic mechanisms that maintain a growth neutral state throughout life

  • Hypogonadism and MetS are strongly associated [12, 13, 16], having even been demonstrated that with the increasing number of MetS parameters there is a proportional raise in the incidence of hypogonadism
  • increasing number of MetS components is inversely associated with T levels

  • ...15 more annotations...
  • In the setting of MetS, hypertriglyceridemia and increased WC have been reported as the most important determinants of hypogonadism
  • recent literature consistently associates obesity not only with higher risk of hypogonadism [4, 6, 27] but also with lower T levels
  • Visceral adiposity has been particularly related with reduction of T and SHBG levels (independent of other metabolic disorders)
  • WC was one of the MetS parameters with the greatest influence in T levels decrease, presenting itself as a strong risk factor for hypogonadism development
  • MetS-related T decline was not accompanied by an increase in pituitary LH levels, suggesting impairment in gonadotropin secretion
  • The molecules behind this smoothing compensatory effect of GnRH/LH are still unknown, but estrogens and insulin, as well as leptin, TNF-α, and other adipokines, were proposed candidates
  • fat stores undertake an increase aromatization of androgens, therefore raising estrogen levels [9, 15], which in turn decrease LH secretion
  • our data contradicts the concept that estradiol exerts a negative feedback on hypothalamic GnRH secretion
  • taking into account that high estradiol levels have already been described as the only abnormality in a subset of patients with ED, the hypothesis that the later might not only be caused by androgen deficiency is becoming increasingly evident
  • it has been reported that the chronic exposure to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), widely used for the treatment of ED, may influence serum estradiol levels
  • thyroid disorders (specially hyperthyroidism) have been related to ED and hypogonadism, and so must be considered in a sexual-dysfunction setting

      outstanding point.  This hits to the point that Low T is the effect not the cause.
  • We concluded that in ED patients with hypogonadism and MetS, the attenuated response of HPG axis (normal or low LH levels) might not always be due to an underlying adiposity-dependent estrogen-raising effect.

      This stands in polar opposite of that with men.
  • Hypogonadism is a common feature of the metabolic syndrome
  • The precise interaction between insulin resistance, visceral adiposity, and hypogonadism is, as yet, unclear but the important mechanisms are through increased aromatase production, raised leptin levels, and increase in inflammatory kinins
  • levels of testosterone are reduced in proportion to degree of obesity
  • Men should be encouraged to combine aerobic exercise with strength training. As muscle increases, glucose will be burned more efficiently and insulin levels will fall. A minimum of 30 minutes exercise three times weekly should be advised
  • Testosterone increases levels of fast-twitch muscle fibres
  • By increasing testosterone, levels of type 2 fibres increase and glucose burning improves
  • Weight loss will increase levels of testosterone
  • studies now clearly show that low testosterone leads to visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome and is also a consequence of obesity
  • In the case of MMAS [43], a baseline total testosterone of less than 10.4 nmol/L was associated with a greater than 4-fold incidence of type 2 diabetes over the next 9 years

  • Men with angiographically proven CAD (coronary artery disease) have significantly lower testosterone levels [29] compared to controls ( ) and there was a significant inverse relationship between the degree of CAD and TT (total testosterone) levels
  • TRT has also been shown to reduce fibrinogen to levels similar to fibrates
  • men treated with long acting testosterone showed highly significant reductions in TC, LDL, and triglycerides with increase in HDL, associated with significant reduction in weight, BMI, and visceral fat
  • Low androgen levels are associated with an increase in inflammatory markers

  • In some studies, a decline in diastolic blood pressure has been observed, after 3–9 months [24, 26] and in systolic blood pressure
  • A decline was noted in IL6 and TNF-alpha
  • No studies to date show an increase in LUTS/BPH symptoms with higher serum testosterone levels
