Herbs that increase circulation to the genitals may also be helpful. Borage seed oil (Borago officinalis): High in omega-6 essential fatty acids, Borage seed oil works to increase cervical mucus and balance hormones. Dandelion leaf and root (Taraxacum officinale): This bitter herb is ...
An athlete may want to: build mass and strength of muscles and/or bones; increase delivery of oxygen to exercising tissues; mask pain; stimulate the body; relax; reduce weight or hide the use of other drugs. The classes of drugs used for these purposes are shown above. Most of the ...
Tyrosine, a common amino acid, is converted to a class of compound called catecholamine such as dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. Each of these downstream compounds has it own positive and negative properties. Norepinephrine, for example, causes mental alertness to increase, but can ...
Our mode of treatment brings about an acceleration of growth and maturation. In boys with BA >10 years its mean effect on final height is a slight increase. In younger boys this effect is uncertain and it may not be wise to treat boys prior to BA 10 years. ...
While baby-making seems pretty easy, the reality of getting pregnant can be a bit tricky. You need to have sex regularly, and that sex needs to be well timed (increase the romance a few days before ovulation for the best chances). Sometimes it's more than bad timing, though. More than...
Many unhealthy lifestyle conditions, from alcohol abuse and smoking to malnutrition, are associated with an increase in SHBG (sometimes clinically significant and other times not) and a shift in bioavailable testosterone. Further Reading What is SHBG? + Symptoms of Low Levels & How to Raise ...
It’s proven to raise testosterone levels, which is why so many bodybuilders use it. The other bonus with using Aromasin as a PCT is that it could potentially increase levels of the insulin-like growth hormone, otherwise known as IGF-1, which plays a key role in both muscle growth, ...
To ascertain the potential SRD5As activity, we cultured C4-2 and C4-2AT6 cells with the steroid precursors modified by stable isotope:13 C-[2,3,4 ] -androstenedione (13C-A-dione). The sequential biosynthesis of13 C-[2,3,4 ] -dihydrotestosterone (13C-DHT) and13 C-[2,3,4 ] -...
In postmenopausal women, the effect of obesity can be explained by increased extraglandular conversion of androstenedione to estrone by aromatase enzymes in the body's fat deposits. The effect of height and premenopausal body habitus on breast cancer risk is less well understood but is probably ...
Gao et al. hypothesized that the increased testosterone levels were caused either by increased activity of an enzyme that produces testosterone or by decreased activity of an enzyme that reduces testosterone, specifically Hsd17b2, which converts testosterone to a less potent androgen, androstenedione. ...
