Hormones Disruptors

Scientists believe that many synthetic chemicals act as endocrine disruptors, or hormone disruptors, interfering with our bodies' natural hormone systems and causing a wide array of health problems.  Hormone disruptors often act by imitating our natural hormones. Our bodies are "fooled" by these toxins, which can bind to the same sites to which natural hormones bind, thereby altering, magnifying or blocking the function of the natural hormones.

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 Caffeine Consumption Linked To Estrogen Changes Asian women who consumed an average of 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day - the equivalent of roughly two cups of coffee - had elevated estrogen levels when compared to women who consumed less, according to a study of reproductive age women by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions...
Sun, 29 Jan 2012 Caffeine Alters Estrogen Levels Researchers at the National Institute of Health, along with other institutions, have released a study online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, stating that Asian women have higher estrogen levels when drinking 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day. This is about 2 cups of coffee...
Thu, 26 Jan 2012 Appetite Accomplice: Ghrelin Receptor Alters Dopamine Signaling New research reveals a fascinating and unexpected molecular partnership within the brain neurons that regulate appetite. The study, published by Cell Press in the January 26 issue of the journal Neuron, resolves a paradox regarding a receptor without its hormone and may lead to more specific therapeutic interventions for obesity and disorders of dopamine signaling...
Wed, 25 Jan 2012 Brown Fat - Keeps You Warm And Keeps You Slim People with more brown fat seem better able to stay warm when it is cold, Canadian researchers reported in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. They added that the findings of their study could eventually be used to find ways of fighting obesity. Not much has been known about brown fat, a type of good fat, until recently...
Wed, 25 Jan 2012 Use Of Iodinated Contrast Media In Imaging Procedures Appears To Affect Thyroid Function Exposure to iodinated contrast media during imaging procedures is associated with changes in thyroid function, and increased risk of developing hyperthyroidism, according to a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. "Iodinated contrast media (ICM) are commonly administered pharmaceutical agents," the authors write as background information...
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 How Estrogen Influences Mood Changes In Women Women's emotional responses can vary significantly premenstrually. They may become depressed or grumpy during menstruation or the premenstrual phase, known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Roughly 75% of reproductive-age women report premenstrual mood swings or physical discomfort...
Sun, 22 Jan 2012 Red Wine Versus White Wine - Comparison Of Effects On Hormones Related To Breast Cancer Risk Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) prevent the conversion of androgens to estrogens, and could play a role in the development of breast cancer. This study of 36 pre-menopausal women consisted of a cross-over intervention trial to determine if there were differences between red wine and white wine in their effects on AIs...
Sun, 22 Jan 2012 Warning: "Avoid Looking At Pictures Of Appetising Food As It Will Make You Hungry! Max Planck researchers have proven something scientifically for the first time that laypeople have always known: the mere sight of delicious food stimulates the appetite. A study on healthy young men has documented that the amount of the neurosecretory protein hormone ghrelin in the blood increases as a result of visual stimulation through images of food...
Thu, 19 Jan 2012 Painful Period Symptoms Reduced By Oral Contraceptive Pill In the United States, painful periods (Dysmenorrhoea) are estimated to cause 600 million lost working hours and cost two billion dollars in lost productivity...
Thu, 19 Jan 2012 Researchers Identify Triggering Conditions And Direct Link To Sex Hormones In Sudden Cardiac Death Researchers in Rhode Island Hospital's Cardiovascular Research Center have published two new studies focusing on the causes of arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD) when a genetic disorder is present. The studies use a first-ever genetic animal model the researchers developed in 2008 to further their understanding of a genetic disorder known as Long QT Syndrome (LQTS)...
Mon, 16 Jan 2012 Possible Receptor For Key Breast Cancer Regulator Identified By Researchers A key protein potentially involved in regulating breast cancer progression has been identified by researchers at Clarkson University in Potsdam, N.Y. Led by professor Costel Darie, the team worked to identify the binding partner of Tumor Differentiating Factor (TDF), a pituitary hormone that had previously been shown to reduce cancer progression in breast cancer cells...
Fri, 13 Jan 2012 Protein Linking Exercise To Health Benefits Isolated By Researchers A team led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has isolated a natural hormone from muscle cells that triggers some of the key health benefits of exercise. They say the protein, which serves as a chemical messenger, is a highly promising candidate for development as a novel treatment for diabetes, obesity and perhaps other disorders, including cancer...
Wed, 11 Jan 2012 GLP-1 Effective Weight Loss Therapy For Diabetes Patients According to a study published on bmj.com, administering overweight or obese patients with peptide-1 (GLP-1) - a type of glucagon which is secreted from the intestine during eating and suppresses appetite, leads to clinically beneficial weight loss, as well as reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels...
Wed, 11 Jan 2012 Atherosclerotic Lesions In Diabetic Patients May Be Repaired By Insulin Therapy New research reveals that insulin applied in therapeutic doses selectively stimulates the formation of new elastic fibers in cultures of human aortic smooth muscle cells.
