    Cells preferentially accumulate Pregnenolone (P5), Progesterone (P4), and DHEA

    A study not directly dealing with disease, though its findings are probably relevant for all diseases. It demonstrates that in addition to the so-called "active transport", which we have been told is the dominant mechanism in steroid absorption and intracellular relevance, there also exists a...

    Estrogen causes prostate fibrosis (cancer?), DHT prevents/treats it

    Slowly, but surely, the myth of the "evil" dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the "beneficial" estrogen, when it comes to prostate health, is going the way of the dodo. In fact, people I know who work in research circles say that the "androgen hypothesis" in prostate cancer is no longer being taken...

    High DHEA, low T, 20s male; Help with blood work interpretation.

    I'm a bit confused as to whether I would benefit from a progesterone + DHEA supplement. Maybe 20-50 mg progesterone + 2-5 mg DHEA (inspired by Structural Requirements For An Optimal Anti-Catabolic Steroid). I'm thinking such a supplement, especially progesterone, could take the stress of the...

    Just how bad is plastic bottled water?

    Since buying and installing a RO filter is out of my budget atm, I drink distilled water from gallon jugs. Is this a better alternative to fluoridated tap water? Any studies that show ppm of plastic in bottled water? Would estrogen antagonists such as vitamin e, Gonadin reduce/eliminate...

    Androstenedione for maximizing testosterone; good or no?

    https://men-elite.com/2022/11/29/androstenedione-for-maximizing-testosterone-good-or-no/ --------------- TL: DR Androstenedione: Increases T very mildly and only short term, before it causes suppression and enhances testosterone excretion. Increases estrogens to a great extent and for longer...

    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...

    Correct Labs for Proper Estrogen Analysis?

    Hi all, Looking for some advice here...I am currently on TRT and as such, am getting tested for Estrogen, specifically, Estradiol. A LOT of Dr. Peat's work centers around this yet he hasn't really provided specifics on what labs what range of Estrogen you should be at etc. I have always been...

    My prolactin won't go down. Is my heavy metal burden causing this high prolactin?

    34 year old male. I tested prolactin, and other pituitary hormones , and it was high yet again: 18.7. It was 14.4 6 months ago, and it doesn't go lower than that. I have tried everything under the sun. Before this last round of tests I was using a few thing that target prolactin: vitamin E...

    Pregnenolone/aspirin can block cellular estrogen uptake, PUFA promotes it

    I have posted in the past about the "obscure" estrogen estrone sulfate (E1S) and its role as a biomarker of both onset and progression of breast, colon, prostate, endometrial, and many other cancers. Despite its major role in cancer development, E1S remains known to mainstream medicine as simply...

    Progesterone, bromocriptine may treat autism

    A great new study, which, while genomic in character, inadvertently points the finger directly at estrogen and/or serotonin as causes of autism. After all progesterone's main role in the human organism is as an estrogen (and cortisol!) antagonist, while bromocriptine is one of the oldest...

    The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binds and modulates estrogen receptors - study

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9164441/ Robert Malone (I know, I know) posted this and stressed: "Spike, no matter if it is from virus or vaccine". Then he asked the question: "Is the Sars-Cov-2 a toxin?"

    Call for information: Trying to determine extent of estrogenic substances still in food supply.

    I would like for anyone to help contribute some knowledge, speculation and studies, and open a discussion on the extent to which, despite supposedly getting rid of BPA containing plastics, there are still estrogenic substances in all the plastics we store much of our food in, and used during the...

    Reluctant to follow midfie's PUFA advice

    Hey all. My wife has had a VERY successfully pregnancy after 17 years of infertility and 7 years of peating! She has been having a pretty eventless pregnancy (first bio kid at 38 and has no GD, no preeclampsia, etc). The baby is huge too, also thanks to Ray Peat's advice! I continue to be amazed...

    Progesterone may help quitting smoking

    A very interesting article, on a topic that has been studied for decades but has not seen much mainstream media exposure mostly because it does not fit the narrative. Namely, that "addictions", including smoking, are mostly genetically determined and not much can be done about them except manage...
