Thyroid hormones should not be routinely offer to adults with a mildly underactive thyroid gland (known as subclinical hypothyroidism), said a panel of international experts in The BMJ. Their strong recommendation against hormone treatment is base on new evidence that it does not improve quality of life, or symptoms including low mood and fatigue. Better decisions…
In this study Scientists want to know whether our aging fat cells are important to the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s. They have evidence that as we age, our fat becomes less efficient at producing a hormone that helps support the growth and survival of neurons and helps regulate their activity. The result can be neurons in…
Men continue to abuse steroids despite knowing that they have serious; life limiting and potentially lethal side effects, according to findings to be present in Lyon; hence at the European Society of Endocrinology annual meeting, ECE 2019. The study findings indicate that men using anabolic steroids to improve strength and physical performance are often aware…
Many patients with potentially deadly liver cirrhosis and liver cancer are being diagnosed at late advanced stages of disease; but according to a study led by Queen Mary University of London and the University of Glasgow.

Hypoparathyroidism is a disorder of mineral homeostasis characterize by deficient or absent parathyroid hormone. The associate clinical findings are hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and reduce tubular reabsorption of calcium, often leading to hypercalciuria. Conventional treatment with oral calcium and activate vitamin D (calcitriol) doesn’t always maintain normal serum calcium levels and also doesn’t restore other physiologic actions…

The Guidelines are also copyrighted by the American Heart Association and are being simultaneously publish in its journal Circulation. Thyroid hormones have long know to have a range of effects on…
Thyroid compounds are a group of hormones responsible for the regulation of a variety of biological functions, including basal metabolic rate, lipid, glucose and carbohydrate metabolism. This group of compounds contains tyrosine base compounds including the physiologically active form triiodothyronine (T3). The majority of triiodothyronine is form enzymatically by the deiodination of thyroxine (T4). T4…
Researchers have uncovered a new link between chronic stress and reproductive problems, in a pre-clinical study that shines the spotlight on a hunger-triggering hormone. The study suggests high levels of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite and is also release during stress, could be harmful to some aspects of reproductive function. RMIT researchers find that…
The meeting follows a September 26, 2018, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announcement that the NASEM would conduct two studies relate to compound drugs in collaboration with the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University Centers for Regulatory Science and Innovation.

Montmorency tart cherries reduce systolic blood pressure, insulin levels and insulin concentrations in adults with metabolic syndrome participating in a small pilot study publish in the Journal of Functional Foods. While previous studies on Montmorency tart cherries have explore individual aspects of metabolic syndrome such as blood pressure and triglycerides this is the first study…
When it comes to testosterone supplements, men should know a new study finds there is precious little evidence to support claims they will boost testosterone levels, sex drive, strength and overall energy.
