“For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes.”

“They measured the animals' strength and body composition before and after each dietary intervention. They also measured levels of myostatin (a hormone that inhibits muscle growth) and leptin (a hormone that maintains bodyfat stores) in the animals' blood.”

“They monitored the animals' food intake and measured levels of glucocorticoids, a class of hormones that regulate behavior, sleep-wake cycles, and metabolism. They found that jet-lagged animals demonstrated dysregulated orexigenic hypothalamic neuropeptide, a glucocorticoid hormone that regulates appetite.”

“The participants performed two bouts of vigorous exercise, separated by a 24-hour rest period, and provided blood samples before, during, and after the exercise sessions. The blood samples revealed that supplementation increased biomarkers of bone formation, including parathyroid hormone and osteocalcin.”

“Circadian rhythms, the body’s 24-hour cycles of biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns, modulate a wide array of physiological processes, including the body’s production of hormones that regulate hunger, metabolism, sleep, and others.”

“Participants who supplemented with fish oil also had a 20 percent lower concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone and a 16 percent lower concentration of luteinizing hormone, an indication of better testicular cell function and greater capacity for sperm production.”

“FTA: > The hormone estrogen can specifically trigger brain serotonin neurons to inhibit binge eating in female mice, researchers report. They add that this result is consistent with data in humans.”

“A new pilot study found people practicing time-restricted eating within a 6-hour period and fasting for 18 hours improved fat-burning and lowered their levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin compared to people who ate the exact same meals in a 12-hour period.”

“Premature ovarian insufficiency – a condition in which the ovaries fail earlier than usual – affects more than 3.5 percent of females worldwide, often due to genetics, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to certain drugs, such as those used in chemotherapy.”

“Corticosterone is a stress hormone known to modulate social aggression. The consumption of a high sucrose solution also changed the activation levels of many genes, including inflammatory genes, in brain regions associated with aggression.”
