    7,8-dihydroxyflavone (bdnf mimic) - Regenerates thymus, restores bone marrow activity, boosts hematopoietic stem cells, enhances bone strength

    As well as increasing neurogenesis (with antidepressent effect linked to increasing neuron number or myelination in the hippocampus) , BDNF has effects outside of the brain. as BDNF /TrkB expression is also found in decent amounts elsewhere in the body. e.g spleen, thymus bone marrow...

    Vitamin D3 anabolic, calcitriol catabolic for muscle/thymus

    Several great studies, which will probably do little to calm down the controversy that seems to be brewing lately in the blogosphere over whether supplementing with vitamin D3 is beneficial or not. Namely, the last study below demonstrated direct muscle-anabolic effects from supplementation with...

    Glucose Is Anabolic For Thymus, Opposes Catabolic Effects Of Cortisol

    As most of my readers know, cortisol is a highly catabolic steroid and one of the main agents (estrogen being another) responsible for thymus atrophy with age. These catabolic effects of cortisol can be blocked by progesterone, DHEA, pregnenolone, and even DHT (but not by testosterone). The...

    Estrogen And Cortisol, Not Androgens, Suppress Immunity

    There is a very famous theory in reproductive biology still considered the dominant one in its field. Namely, males have to accept a trade-off between androgen levels and immunity. It is known as the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis (ICHH). Higher androgen levels, the theory goes, allow the...

    Aspirin May Treat Tuberculosis By Improving / Restoring Innate Immunity

    Yet another trick that old dog aspirin knows. While it may not actually be potent enough to cure the infection by itself (as the study shows) it potently reduces the infectious burden, which may allow patients to resume normal living habits and survive as if they did not have an infection at...

    Cortisol Therapy Makes Cancer Resistant To Treatment

    As many forum users probably know, glucocorticoid treatment is one of the main lines of therapies in cancer. It is considered highly beneficial due to reducing inflammation and swelling/pain in inflamed/cancerous tissue. However, recent studies have shown that immune dysfunction is perhaps the...

    Vitamin E Deficiency Increases Risk Of Tuberculosis (TB) Infection

    Reducing Estrogen Synthesis Regenerates Thymus Destroyed By Aging

    The Trophic Effects Of Androsterone

    As I mentioned in a few past threads, androsterone was studied intensively in the first half of the 20th century and one of the reasons was its functional similarity to thyroid. In addition to its hypocholesterolemic effect androsterone was also found to be highly trophic to a number of organs...

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1521922 Abstract The thymus can be regenerated in aging rats by surgical or chemical castration and regeneration is inhibited by testosterone, which may exert this effect, at least in part, through its conversion to estradiol. An attempt has been made to...

    I was listening to one of Ray's interviews last week, I can't remember exactly which one. He mentioned that, when using FFAs for energy (stressed state), the cells still need a little glucose for energy, and that your body breaks down lean tissue to provide the glucose. One point that struck...
