Endotoxin has a G.E.L.D.I.N.G effect, causes obesity and hypogonadism

by

A very interesting study proposing that the decline in gonadal function seen in obese/diabetic men is due to chronically elevated endotoxin levels in such people. The study calls this phenomenon (G)ut (E)dotoxin (L)eading to a (D)ecline (I)n (G)onadal function (GELDING) due to the remarkable similarities in the phenotypes caused by castration and chronic endotoxemia. While … Read more Endotoxin has a G.E.L.D.I.N.G effect, causes obesity and hypogonadism

Drop in androgen levels causes Parkinson Disease (PD), DHT reverses it

by

Yet another study demonstrating that many of the so-called chronic, degenerative and above all “mysterious” conditions often have quite a simple cause and, potentially, treatment. There is no need for mutated genes or complex interactions of genes with environment that nobody can decipher. Chronic stress leads to metabolic and endocrine changes that alone are sufficient … Read more Drop in androgen levels causes Parkinson Disease (PD), DHT reverses it

Cholesterol and saturated fat are anabolic; PUFA/MUFA akin to chemical castration

by

A pair of interesting study and a commentary in the highly respected Journals of Gerontology. Namely, higher cholesterol intake is associated with much higher lean muscle mass accrual as a result of weight lifting. Interestingly, higher protein intake was not. Even more interestingly, and much to the chagrin of the medical industry, the increased dietary … Read more Cholesterol and saturated fat are anabolic; PUFA/MUFA akin to chemical castration
