the congenital lack of estrogen activity seems to be associated with a slightly impaired secretion of PRL and TSH

A voluminous amount of information is also available in the literature linking increased fat consumption, particularly polyunsaturated fat, and stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis

Most studies suggest that cimetidine may improve the outcome in cancer patients by a three-pronged mechanism involving (1) inhibition of cancer cell proliferation; (2) stimulation of the lymphocyte activity by inhibition of T cell suppressor function, and (3) inhibition of histamine’s activity as a growth factor in tumours.

The data appear to establish the association of NaF with acceleration of the growth of tumor

It has been reported (1) that NaBr likewise has a stimulating effect on tumor growth

The authors conclude that muscle CoQ10 deficiency can be corrected by supplementation of CoQ10, which appears to stimulate mitochondrial proliferation and to prevent apoptosis.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) tests are not useful for estimating the clinical and metabolic severity of primary overt thyroid failure. Meier and colleagues (p311) found that, in contrast with the accuracy of serum TSH measurement in the early diagnosis of hypothyroidism, clinical markers and circulating thyroid hormones much more accurately reflect the degree of tissue hypothyroidism. Initiation of replacement therapy should be guided by clinical presentation and circulating thyroid hormones and not by TSH concentrations

replacing leptin to physiologically normal levels during fasting fully restored testosterone to baseline, indicating that leptin regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal axis that controls the release of testosterone and estrogen

Leptin clearly has some effect on the thyroid hormone axis,

including thyroid-stimulating hormone and the free-circulating form of thyroid

which is a major reason for the regaining of lost weight with dieting as well being the mechanism behind stress induced weight gain (it is not due to increased cortisol).

f greater than 10, it demonstrates there is a degree of leptin resistance contributing to an inability to lose weight

that it is difficult to lose weight with leptin resistance. High carbohydrate diets and in particular high-fructose corn syrup is shown to significantly increase leptin resistance and is a likely mechanism that high fructose corn syrup is associated with obesity

1,25D3 strongly stimulated Abeta phagocytosis and clearance while protecting against apoptosis

Omega-3 fatty acids stimulate muscle protein synthesis in older adults

the metabolic threshold (above which lactate accumulates) increased by 10.5%

he ventilatory threshold (above which unbuffered H+ stimulates ventilation) increased by 8.5%

upplementation with Cs-4 (Cordyceps sinensis) improves exercise performance and might contribute to wellness in healthy older subjects

There is substantial evidence to suggest that some IPGs may also be responsible in part for mediating insulin's stimulation of glucose disposal

Guidelines certainly do not encourage clinicians to consider and treat each patient as an individual

This all but guarantees many guidelines are obsolete by the time they are published

unlikely to stimulate original research

testosterone and 5b-dihydrotestosterone stimulate erythropoietin production in laboratory animals [2]. Before the discovery of recombinant erythropoietin, androgens were used clinically to improve haematocrit levels in anaemic patients
