“Researchers examined brain activity, hormone levels, and eating behavior under different sleep conditions in mice and humans. They identified a previously unknown hormone, which they named raptin, and tracked where and when it was released.”

“A new study by researchers at Human Longevity, Inc. suggests that acetaminophen (Tylenol) may reduce the placenta’s ability to regulate hormone levels. The study found an association with acetaminophen use and lower levels of neurosteroids (hormones found in the brain).”

“Some of these effects may be due to compounds commonly associated with plastic manufacturing, such as bisphenol A, or BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals, that are present in and on microplastics. This study demonstrates that even brief exposure to plastic particles is sufficient to alter sex hormones and promote inflammation in female rats.”

“Hormonal and metabolic function Growth hormone Sauna use promotes growth hormone release, which varies according to time, temperature, and frequency.”

“Some evidence suggests female sex hormones influence the pathology and progression of Alzheimer's disease. A recent study in mice shows that the brains of male and female mice with Alzheimer's regulate amyloid-beta protein differently, with the hormone estradiol playing a critical role.”

“Some evidence indicates that hormone replacement therapy, particularly during the perimenopausal period, may be useful in preventing postmenopausal depression in women. Children & adolescents Approximately two to four percent of children and eight percent of adolescents living in the United States report having depression in any given year.”

“Men who have low levels of a hormone called INSL3 are more likely to develop chronic, age-related diseases later in life, a 2021 study showed. The men also had low sex hormone production. Researchers measured INSL3 levels in the blood of more than 3,300 men between the ages of 40 and 79 years.”

“Poor glomerular filtration correlates with decreased serum levels of 1,25(OH)2D3. Interestingly, parathyroid hormone levels are elevated with age, but renal production of 1,25(OH)2D3 in response to parathyroid hormone decreases.”

“Women with cerebral aneurysms were found to have been significantly less likely to have taken oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy. Women with cerebral aneurysms also had an earlier average age of menopause.”

“Large randomized controlled trial finds that 70% of women with early-stage invasive breast cancer do not need chemotherapy in addition to hormone therapy based on a genomic test for this type of breast cancer.”
