“Cardiovascular exercise on a stationary bike induced levels of a master hormonal regulator of glucose, lipids, ketogenesis, and overall energy metabolism (called FGF21) 3-times higher than strength training exercises in a randomized crossover study. Just more evidence of why it is important to engage in both aerobic exercise and strength training exercise.”

“Stimulants of slow-wave sleep, such as heat exposure, can enhance growth hormone secretion, establishing a robust connection between growth hormone and sleep regulation. Heat's effects on growth hormone vary – from doubling after two 20-minute 80°C sauna sessions to soaring sixteen-fold after two one-hour sessions at the same temperature.”

“Liver-derived hormone FGF21 dramatically reduces appetite for alcohol Researchers believe that humans first encountered alcohol long before we learnt how to control the process and make it ourselves – through the consumption of fermented fruit.”

“FTA: > A crucial link between high levels of insulin and pathways that lead to obesity has been discovered by researchers, a finding that may have important implications when treating diabetes. The discovery was made by studying mice engineered to lack receptors for a hormone called glucagon.”

“They did not identify an association between microplastic concentration, fertilization, miscarriages, and live birth. However, higher microplastic concentrations were associated with higher levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, a key marker of ovarian function.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that type 2 diabetics given a diet high in fiber improved the secretion of hormones involved in insulin production (GLP-1) and lowered blood glucose levels (HbA1c) via changes in the gut microbiome.”

“The men taking creatine showed no significant changes in hormone levels or hair health compared to those taking the placebo. Both groups experienced a modest increase in total testosterone—about 15%—regardless of which supplement they consumed.”

“Measuring both total and free testosterone provides a complete view of hormone production and actual hormone availability. Breakdown of testosterone levels in the body: Free testosterone accounts for only 2–3% of total levels but is the most bioavailable.”

“In a rodent model of hypertension, berberine administration delayed the onset and reduced the severity of hypertension by reducing angiotensin II and aldosterone (hormones that elevate blood pressure).”

“A recent study shows that women who took oral contraceptives had lower levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a component of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis typically produced in response to stress.”
