    Fasting decreases androgens, increases aldosterone (and possibly cortisol/estrogens) in women

    I often get criticized that I rely too much on animal studies, so here is a human one that should give the proponents of caloric restriction / fasting a pause. Even a short fast (24-48 hours) resulted in decreased androgen synthesis in women, while increasing aldosterone. In general, fasting...

    Exercise causes (and worsens) arterial calcification

    A great new study sent to me by one of my readers. It will more than likely cause a lot of controversy, despite its findings having a very simple explanation. Namely, chronic exercise increases baseline cortisol and over time, cortisol (acting through the aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor)...

    Vitamin D, reducing fat oxidation may treat lung fibrosis, COVID-19

    Pulmonary fibrosis, regardless of etiology, is considered invariably a progressive and fatal disease. Despite this official story, behind the scenes several pharma companies are running clinical trials with several anti-fibrotic agents and the results so-far demonstrate that the condition is...

    Heart attack survivors have high stress (cortisol/adrenaline) hypersensitivity, low androgens

    A very interesting study that highlights yet again the connection between chronic stress and ill systemic health, especially cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study demonstrates that people who had experienced a heart attack have dramatically higher higher cortisol and adrenaline/noradrenaline...

    DHT Decreases Adrenal Androgens

    Although it's not directly DHT, study says Proviron (Mesterolone) decreases adrenal androgen synthesis which is a marker of poor gonadal function. That means it increases gonadal function. It also increases aldosterone? Profiling of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids and Selective Androgen Receptor...

    RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSYTEM And HAIR LOSS PROCESS

    I think excess cortisol-aldosterone- mineralocorticoid activation trough angiotensin system are main players in balding by cytokine activation and progressing to fibrosis. Focusing on TGF-β₁, which shuts off the anagen phase of the hair cycle, and 11β-HSD₁ expression should fix to the problem...

    Anyway To Lower Aldosterone A Little Bit Without Using Anti Androgens

    I have naturally a higher level of aldosterone than most. Skinny body. Very weak appetite. Borderline high fating blood glucose. Borderline high blood pressure. I read salt actually increases aldosterone in many studies. so I am kinda lost at my options

    Interesting Facts About Cyproterone (Hair Loss)

    Cyproterone Acetate is an anti-androgen drug used for transitioning, hair loss, acne, hirsutism and so-called androgenic disorders. But when I search PubMed I found interesting mechanisms about this drug. * First of all it strongly decreases cortisol and aldosterone and increases DHEA levels...

    Cortisol And Aldosterone Cause Vascular Calcification

    In one of his newsletter circa 2015, Ray wrote about the role of aldosterone in heart failure, heart attacks, shock, and edema. He conjectured that aldosterone antagonists would one day be recognized as therapeutic for these conditions. Almost all types of heart disease start with vascular...

    Pregnenolone Is A Potent Aldosterone Antagonist (antimineralocorticoid)
