True gastritis comes in several forms and is diagnosed using a combination of tests. In the 1. 99. 0s, scientists discovered that the main cause of true gastritis is infection from a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. It has been associated with resulting ulcers, particularly peptic ulcers. And in some cases, chronic gastritis can lead to more serious complications. Nonerosive h. This form of nonerosive gastritis is the result of infection with Helicobacter pylori bacterium, a microorganism whose outer layer is resistant to the normal effects of stomach acid in breaking down bacteria. The resistance of H. Study of the role of H. Studies were also underway to determine the role of H. These commonly used pain killers, including aspirin, fenoprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen, among others, can lead to gastritis and peptic ulcers. Other forms of erosive gastritis are those due to alcohol and corrosive agents or due to trauma such as ingestion of foreign bodies. Other forms of gastritis. Clinicians differ on the classification of the less common and specific forms of gastritis, particularly since there is so much overlap with H. Other types of gastritis that may be diagnosed include: Acute stress gastritis- the most serious form of gastritis which usually occurs in critically ill patients, such as those in intensive care. Stress erosions may develop suddenly as a result of severe trauma or stress to the stomach lining. Atrophic gastritis is the result of chronic gastritis which is leading to atrophy, or decrease in size and wasting away, of the gastric lining. Gastric atrophy is the final stage of chronic gastritis and may be a precursor to gastric cancer. Superficial gastritis is a term often used to describe the initial stages of chronic gastritis. Uncommon specific forms of gastritis include granulomatous, eosiniphilic and lymphocytic gastritis. Causes and symptoms. Nonerosive h. It is believed that most infection occurs in childhood. The route of its transmission was still under study in 1. Its prevalence and distribution differs in nations around the world. The presence of H. However, physicians are still learning about the link of H. However, the majority of patients with H. Ulcer symptoms include dull, gnawing pain, often two to three hours after meals and pain in the middle of the night when the stomach is empty. Erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis. The most common cause of this form of gastritis is use of NSAIDS. Other causes may be alcoholism or stress from surgery or critical illness. The role of NSAIDS in development of gastritis and peptic ulcers depends on the dose level. Although even low doses of aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs may cause some gastric upset, low doses generally will not lead to gastritis. However, as many as 1. NSAIDS, such as those with chronic arthritis, may develop gastric ulcers. In 1. 99. 8, studies were underway to understand the role of H. Any number of mechanisms may cause various less common forms of gastritis and they may differ slightly in their symptoms and clinical signs. However, they all have in common inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Diagnosis. Nonerosive h. This test detects active presence of H. Other serological tests, which may be readily available in a physician's office, may be used to detect H. Newly developed versions offer rapid diagnosis. The choice of test will depend on cost, availability and the physician's experience, since nearly all of the available tests have an accuracy rate of 9. Endoscopy, or the examination of the stomach area using a hollow tube inserted through the mouth, may be ordered to confirm diagnosis. A biopsy of the gastric lining may also be ordered. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis. Clinical history of the patient may be particularly important in the diagnosis of this type of gastritis, since its cause is most often the result of chronic use of NSAIDS, alcoholism, or other substances. Other forms of gastritis. Gastritis that has developed to the stage of duodenal or gastric ulcers usually requires endoscopy for diagnosis. It allows the physician to perform a biopsy for possible malignancy and for H. Sometimes, an upper gastrointestinal x- ray study with barium is ordered. Some diseases such as Zollinger- Ellison syndrome, an ulcer disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract, may show large mucosal folds in the stomach and duodenum on radiographs or in endoscopy. Other tests check for changes in gastric function. Treatment. H. In particular, relapse rates for duodenal and gastric ulcers has been reduced with successful treatment of H. Since the infection can be treated with antibiotics, the bacterium can be completely eliminated up to 9. Although H. In 1. No single antibiotic had been found which would eliminate H. Dual therapy involves the use of an antibiotic and a proton pump inhibitor. Proton pump inhibitors help reduce stomach acid by halting the mechanism that pumps acid into the stomach. This also helps promote healing of ulcers or inflammation. Dual therapy has not been proven to be as effective as triple therapy, but may be ordered for some patients who can more comfortably handle the use of less drugs and will therefore more likely follow the two- week course of therapy. TRIPLE THERAPY. As of early 1. H. It is estimated that triple therapy successfully eliminates 8. H. This treatment regimen usually involves a two- week course of three drugs. An antibiotic such as amoxicillin or tetracycline, and another antibiotic such as clarithomycin or metronidazole are used in combination with bismuth subsalicylate, a substance found in the over- the- counter medication, Pepto- Bismol, which helps protect the lining of the stomach from acid. Physicians were experimenting with various combinations of drugs and time of treatment to balance side effects with effectiveness. Side effects of triple therapy are not serious, but may cause enough discomfort that patients are not inclined to follow the treatment. OTHER TREATMENT THERAPIES. Scientists have experimented with quadruple therapy, which adds an antisecretory drug, or one which suppresses gastric secretion, to the standard triple therapy. One study showed this therapy to be effective with only a week's course of treatment in more than 9. Short course therapy was attempted with triple therapy involving antibiotics and a proton pump inhibitor and seemed effective in eliminating H. The goal is to develop the most effective therapy combination that can work in one week of treatment or less. MEASURING H. PYLORI TREATMENT EFFECTIVENESS. In order to ensure that H. The breath test is the preferred method to check for remaining signs of H. When symptoms do occur, patients may be treated with therapy similar to that for H. Avoidance of NSAIDS will most likely be prescribed. Other forms of gastritis. Specific treatment will depend on the cause and type of gastritis. These may include prednisone or antibiotics. Critically ill patients at high risk for bleeding may be treated with preventive drugs to reduce risk of acute stress gastritis. If stress gastritis does occur, the patient is treated with constant infusion of a drug to stop bleeding. Sometimes surgery is recommended, but is weighed with the possibility of surgical complications or death. Once torrential bleeding occurs in acute stress gastritis, mortality is as high as greater than 6. Alternative treatment. Alternative forms of treatment for gastritis and ulcers should be used cautiously and in conjunction with conventional medical care, particularly now that scientists have confirmed the role of H. Alternative treatments can help address gastritis symptoms with diet and nutritional supplements, herbal medicine and ayurvedic medicine. It is believed that zinc, vitamin A and beta- carotene aid in the stomach lining's ability to repair and regenerate itself. Herbs thought to stimulate the immune system and reduce inflammation include echinacea (Echinacea spp.) and goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis). Ayurvedic medicine involves meditation. There are also certain herbs and nutritional supplements aimed at helping to treat ulcers. Prognosis. The discovery of H. Since treatment exists to eradicate the infection, recurrence is much less common. As of 1. 99. 8, the only patients requiring treatment for H. Research will continue into the most effective treatment of H. Regular treatment of patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers has been recommended, since H. It is believed that H. Detection and treatment of H. The prognosis for patients with acute stress gastritis is much poorer, with a 6. Prevention. The widespread detection and treatment of H. Until more is known about the routes through which H. Erosive gastritis from NSAIDS can be prevented with cessation of use of these drugs. An education campaign was launched in 1.

Two Methods: Drinking Water to Aid in Permanent Weight Loss Water Fasting to Lose Temporary Weight. ![]() Lemon Water Is Low in Calories. Lemon water is generally a very low- calorie beverage. Assuming you squeeze the juice from half a lemon into water, each glass of lemon water will contain just six calories (1). Metabolic Rate Increases Slightly With Water Consumption. Could a key ingredient in tequila help weight loss and fight diabetes? Scientists discover the agave plant could be turned into a sweetener. Natural sugars in the. For this reason, if you swap out higher- calorie beverages like orange juice and soda for lemon water, then this can be an excellent way to cut calories and help with weight loss. For example, one cup of orange juice (2. Replacing even just one of these beverages per day with a glass of lemon water could reduce daily calorie intake by 1. Some evidence even shows that drinking low- calorie beverages with meals could decrease the number of overall calories consumed in the meal. In one study, 4. 4 women ate lunch with either a beverage that contained calories or one that did not. Researchers then measured the calories consumed. They found that drinking calorie- containing beverages like sugar- sweetened soda, milk and juice with a meal did not make people compensate by eating less. ![]() ![]() Instead, the total calories consumed increased, due to the calories from the beverage (4). Though lemon water is not calorie- free, it is low enough in calories that it could produce a similar effect and help decrease calorie intake. Summary: Lemon water is low in calories. ![]() Drinking it instead of higher- calorie beverages could help contribute to weight loss. It Can Keep You Hydrated. From carrying nutrients to cells to transporting waste out of the body, drinking enough water to stay hydrated is a critical component of health. Maintaining adequate hydration is essential in everything from regulating body temperature to improving physical performance (5). Some evidence also suggests that staying hydrated can aid in weight loss. Research indicates that increased hydration may increase the breakdown of fats and enhance fat loss (6). Staying well- hydrated may also help reduce water retention, which can cause symptoms like bloating, puffiness and weight gain (7). Since the majority of lemon water is made up of water, it can help with maintaining adequate hydration. Summary: Drinking lemon water could help you stay hydrated, which reduces water retention and may increase fat loss. Drinking Lemon Water May Boost Metabolism. Studies show that drinking enough water can potentially help increase your metabolism. Researchers suggest that good hydration enhances the function of mitochondria, a type of organelle found in cells that helps generate energy for the body (6). This leads to an increase in metabolism, which may lead to subsequent weight loss. Drinking water has also been shown to increase metabolism by inducing thermogenesis, a metabolic process in which calories are burned to produce heat. In one study, 1. 4 participants drank 1. Drinking water was found to increase their metabolic rate by 3. Another study looked at the effects of drinking water in 2. ![]() Drinking 0. 3 ounces of water per 2. Research on lemon water specifically is limited. However, because water is the main ingredient, it likely carries the same metabolism- boosting benefits as regular water. Summary: Studies show that drinking water could increase metabolism by enhancing mitochondrial function and inducing thermogenesis. Lemon Water Can Make You Feel More Full. Drinking water is often recommended as a fundamental part of any weight loss regimen, as it can promote satiety and fullness without adding calories. A 2. 00. 8 study looked at the effects of water on calorie intake in 2. The study revealed that drinking 1. Another study found that drinking water with a meal decreased hunger and increased satiety during the meal (1. Because lemon water is low in calories and can promote fullness in the same way as regular water, it can be an effective way to help reduce calorie intake. Summary: Regular water and lemon water can help promote satiety and fullness, which may decrease calorie intake and lead to weight loss. It Could Increase Weight Loss. Due to its potential beneficial effects on metabolism, satiety and hydration, some evidence suggests that water (including lemon water) could enhance weight loss. In one study, 4. 8 adults were assigned to two diets: a low- calorie diet with 1. At the end of the 1. Other research suggests that increasing water intake could help stimulate weight loss, independent of diet or exercise. ![]() ![]() A 2. 00. 9 study measured water intake in 1. It found that greater water intake was associated with a greater loss of body weight and fat over time, regardless of diet or physical activity (1. Though these studies focus specifically on regular water, the same results most likely apply to lemon water as well. Summary: Some studies suggest that drinking regular water or lemon water could increase weight loss, regardless of diet or exercise. Lemon Water Is Not Necessarily Better Than Regular Water. ![]() Lemon water comes with a lot of potential benefits, from promoting hydration to increasing satiety. However, it’s important to note that these benefits all come from its main ingredient — water. Lemon water does contain some additional nutrients from the lemon juice, such as vitamin C and antioxidants, but these are unlikely to have any effect on your weight. Additionally, the alkalizing effect of lemon juice has no clear effects on weight. All that being said, lemon water may have some benefits for preventing kidney stones, due to the acids it contains (1. Summary: Lemon water may be beneficial for weight loss, but has no added benefits over regular water. How to Drink Lemon Water. ![]() Lemon water is a highly customizable beverage and can be tailored based on personal preference. Recipes usually call for the juice from at least half a lemon mixed with a glass of water. To add more flavor, try adding in a few other ingredients. A few fresh mint leaves or a sprinkle of turmeric are delicious and healthy ways to spice up a glass of lemon water. Many people prefer to start their day with a refreshing glass of lemon water, but it can be enjoyed at any time of day. It can also be consumed hot, like tea, or with a few ice cubes added for a cool and invigorating drink. Despite claims that lemon water has greater benefits when consumed at certain temperatures, there is little evidence to support that it makes a difference. Summary: Lemon water can be customized based on personal preference, and it can be enjoyed hot or cold at any time of day. The Bottom Line. Lemon water can promote fullness, support hydration, boost metabolism and increase weight loss. However, lemon water is no better than regular water when it comes to losing fat. That being said, it is tasty, easy to make and can be used as a low- calorie replacement for higher- calorie beverages. In this way, it could potentially help promote weight loss and improve health. Drinking Water May Speed Weight Loss. Jan. 5, 2. 00. 4 - - Whether your weight- loss strategy espouses carbs with no fat or protein with few carbs, there is one thing your plan most certainly recommends - - water. From the veggie- based Ornish diet to steak- loving Atkins (and virtually all diets in between) . Now comes scientific evidence that H2. O really does help you lose weight. Researchers in Germany report that water consumption increases the rate at which people burn calories. The impact is modest and the findings are preliminary, but the researchers say their study could have important implications for weight- control programs. Eight Glasses a Day. Despite the fact that most diets call for drinking at least eight, 8- ounce glasses of water a day, few studies have been done to determine if the practice actually speeds weight loss. In an effort to answer this question, Michael Boschmann, MD, and colleagues from Berlin's Franz- Volhard Clinical Research Center tracked energy expenditures among seven men and seven women who were healthy and not overweight. After drinking approximately 1. The increases occurred within 1. The study also showed that the increase in metabolic rate differed in men and women. In men, burning more fat fueled the increase in metabolism, whereas in women, an increased breakdown of carbohydrates caused the increase in metabolism seen. The researchers estimate that over the course of a year, a person who increases his water consumption by 1. They note that up to 4. The findings are reported in the December issue of The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Nutritionist and American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Leslie Bonci, MPH- RD, says even if the findings are confirmed the clinical implications are slight. Web. MD Health News. Sources.

The Garcinia Cambogia Extract works as a dual action fat buster. The first principle the supplement works on is suppressing your appetite. Next, it actually prevents fat from being made. This leaves the excess fat that you take in nowhere to store inside the body, meaning it passes through your system more rapidly. This means you’ll feel less hungry and in turn, take in less excess fat; you’ll only eat as much as you need. It specifically zeros in on belly fat and helps to eliminate it. This helps to balance out mood swings and alleviate the symptoms of stress and depression. Those who “stress eat” or look for solace in food will not do so as much, two of the major causes of overeating and weight gain. This shuttles all of those components directly out of your body – pushing them quickly through your digestive system and out as waste faster than you could imagine. Garcinia Cambogia is also a powerful diet suppressant and craving killer, helping you to control the portions that you eat while at the same time helping your body feel full so that you don’t snack as often as you could.

Click to zoom. A diabetes diet is a healthy- eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains. In fact, a diabetes diet is the best eating plan for most everyone. Purpose. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, your doctor will likely recommend that you see a dietitian to help you develop a healthy eating plan. The plan helps you control your blood sugar (glucose), manage your weight and control risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure and high blood fats. When you eat excess calories and fat, your body responds by creating an undesirable rise in blood glucose. If blood glucose isn't kept in check, it can lead to serious problems, such as a dangerously high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia) and long- term complications, such as nerve, kidney and heart damage. You can help keep your blood glucose level in a safe range by making healthy food choices and tracking your eating habits. For most people with type 2 diabetes, weight loss also can make it easier to control blood glucose and offers a host of other health benefits. If you need to lose weight, a diabetes diet provides a well- organized, nutritious way to reach your goal safely. Diet details. A diabetes diet is based on eating three meals a day at regular times.

In short, you should eat REAL food (meat, eggs, nuts, yogurt, vegetables and occasionally some fruits). Apart from the obvious. White Bread, Baby Sleep, and Zika. In this week’s roundup of health news, we’ll look at whether you need to do anything differently about your choice of bread, the place your baby sleeps, and your attitude toward mosquitoes on your vacation. Bread vs Bread. The Headline: Scientists Pit Sourdough Against White Bread—With Surprising Results. ![]() ![]() The Story: The study compared people’s response to eating two different kinds of bread. One was a white bread, and the other was whole wheat sourdough. That means there are two differences in the bread: whether it was whole wheat or white, and whether it included the vinegary taste that comes from the yeast in a sourdough starter. We normally expect whole- wheat bread to be lower glycemic load than white bread, meaning it doesn’t cause as big a spike in blood sugar after you eat it. This study found that participants’ blood glucose response was the same, on average, on a steady diet of either type of bread. The researchers have one other thing they want you to know: some people did better on the white bread, and others on the whole wheat. They think it’s not statistical noise, but an actual personalized response. They would think that, though: the fine print at the bottom of the study says that two of the authors are “paid scientific consultants for Day. Two Inc,” a personalized nutrition service. If your gut bacteria are programming you to digest one type of bread better than another, it will take a whole lot more research to confirm it. Or as NHS Choices put it: “There are many reasons why you might choose wholemeal bread over white bread, and results from a week- long study in 2. Where Do You Want This Crib? The Headline: Babies Sleep Better in Their Own Rooms After Four Months. The Story: The American Academy of Pediatrics has been telling us that babies should sleep in a parent’s room (but not the parent’s bed) for the first six to 1. This reduces SIDS rates, they say. A new study asked some parents to move their child to their eventual sleeping place (typically in another room) around three months. The babies who slept in their own room at four months got more sleep at night, and slept for longer stretches at a time. The Take- Away: So should you move your child early so they get more sleep, or keep them with you to maybe slightly decrease the risk of SIDS? There’s not a clear answer, especially because the risk of SIDS is so very small for older babies. So if your kid’s sleeping arrangement didn’t end up the way you planned, you’re in good company. Zika Is Still Scary. The Headline: Five Percent of US Pregnant Women With Zika Had a Baby With a Birth Defect. The Story: The CDC reported what happened in 2. US who were tested for Zika, turned up positive, and subsequently had a baby. Overall, 5 percent had a baby with birth defects; but among people who tested positive for Zika in the first trimester of pregnancy, that rate was 1. Earlier studies in South America had suggested the rate of birth defects could be even higher, so this is a little bit of good news, sort of. The Take- Away: If you are pregnant, or might be pregnant, don’t get Zika. Travel warnings aren’t going away; check with the CDC about which countries are considered Zika risks before you book your vacation. And if you must go, or if you live in a place where Zika is circulating, use an effective mosquito repellent and other measures (long sleeves, window screens) to keep the bugs at bay. ![]() ![]() When I got on stage and lined myself up against all the other girls, I suddenly felt like a piece of meat.

For some people, steroids are medicines they use to deal with acute conditions like arthritis, while others use it for enhancing muscle growth and performance. ![]() Steroids are most commonly linked to athletes, who are known to take them for boosting their energy levels and stamina, thereby enhancing their performance. The word, steroid, is derived from two Greek words - . Together, they form the word, Stereoiedes, which means a solid organic compound. When translated into English, Stereoiedes becomes Steroid. Technically, steroids are defined as soluble organic compounds composed of four Cycloalkane rings. The four rings, labeled A, B, C and D, are made up of more than 2. Of the four rings, three rings are cyclohexane rings, which contain 6 carbon elements, and the fourth ring is a cyclopentane ring, which contains 5 carbon elements. Steroids are taken in the form of injections, tablets or soluble powders, for a variety of reasons. They are endogenous and exogenous. Examples of endogenous steroids include cholesterol, which is a direct product of the steroid nucleus. Other examples of steroid include the sex hormones called testosterone and estradiol, and performance boosting hormones called Nandrolone, Stanozolol and Oxandrolone. Dexamethasone, which belongs to the glucocorticoid class, is also a steroid with anti- inflammatory properties. Vitamin D is also a classic example of a steroid. Exogenous steroids that are available as supplements or replacements are usually synthesized versions of the endogenous steroids produced in the body. Classification of Steroids. The most common understanding of steroids is that they are drug supplements that enable an individual to build muscles and enhance performance. That is not entirely true, for different types of steroids have different functions. There are different varieties of steroid compounds that can be found in animals, plants and even fungi.

De Vany on Steroids, Baseball, and Evolutionary Fitness EconTalk Episode with Arthur De Vany. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vertebrates produce what are called steroid hormones that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. The functioning of these various types of steroids is not the same, and not all steroids are helpful in building body muscle and mass. In fact, some steroids do just the opposite of that, which is to destroy the muscle tissues. Steroids can be broadly classified into two types - the Corticosteroid and Anabolic steroids . ![]() ![]() Corticosteroids Corticosteroids are naturally produced by the body, in the adrenal cortex above the kidney to be precise, and include steroid hormones that the body needs for proper functioning. The corticosteroids are divided into two classes - the glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. These steroids also have anti- inflammatory properties as they prevent release of phospholipids, control the action of eosinophil, etc. These hormones are said to be named so, for their involvement in glucose metabolism. Glucocorticoid levels in the body also affect the development of the fetus, as they play an important role in maturation of lungs and protecting the surfactant. Due to the affect they have on the amygdala, the frontal lobes and the hippocampus, the glucocorticoids also play a role in creation of flashbulb memories of intense emotional events, either negative or positive. They are also considered to have a strong impact on a person's cognitive (memory) and vigilant abilities. Glucocorticoids can further be classified into metabolic and immunological, depending on their functionality. These steroid hormones are also used for a variety of therapeutic purposes and for controlling certain allergies, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. They are also known to be useful in managing type 1 familial hyperaldosteronism, but not effective with type 2. Glucocorticoids are also used sometimes, in heart failure patients suffering from refractory diuretic resistance. An example of glucocorticoids is cortisol, which is popularly known as the . Cortisol is also an essential hormone in the human body as it regulates important metabolic, cardiovascular and immunologic functions. Other synthesized glucocorticoids are also used in humans, for suppressing an overactive immune system and in cases of glucocorticoid deficiency. Mineralocorticoids. Mineralocorticoids are corticosteroids that play an important role in balancing the sodium levels in the body. Aldosterone is the key mineralocorticoid that is produced in the adrenal cortex. It acts on the kidneys, enabling active absorption of sodium. By regulating the sodium concentration in the body, this hormone regulates the individual's blood pressure. Corticosteroids as medicines. When there is insufficient production of these endogenous hormones in your body, use of Corticosteroid medicines can help you regain the balance and control diseases. Corticosteroid medicines are basically anti- inflammatory drugs that control swelling of the air ways to lungs. They are also used to treat a variety of medical conditions like asthma, skin allergies, arthritis, lupus and more. Corticosteroid medicines are offered in the form of inhalers or intranasal sprays, tablets or oral medications, topical creams and ointments ad as injections. Commonly prescribed corticosteroids include dexamethasone, prednisone and prednisolone . Anabolic Steroids. When you hear the word, Steroid,on TV, or read about it in the newspapers, it is usually in connection to an athlete or a celebrity abusing it for professional gain. The steroids in question here are called Anabolic steroids, and they are not the same as corticosteroids. Anabolic steroids are synthesized compounds (man- made) that are related to male sex hormones called androgens. Anabolic steroids imitate the functions of testosterone, and are also referred to as anabolic androgenic steroids, or AAS. They are so called because of the effect they have on the individual. Anabolic steroids result in increase of protein within the body's cells and enhance muscle build. They also have virilizing properties, which is why they are prescribed for the development of masculine characteristics like growth of body hair, deepening of the vocal chords and development of the testicles. Like the word, steroid, the terms – anabolic and androgenic – are also derived from Greek words, . In simple words, the word, anabolic, refers to muscle or mass building and the word, andros, is related to masculinity. Among the anabolic steroids that are commonly used, testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and nandrolone are the key ones, from which a variety of steroid analogues are derived. Of these three, testosterone is perhaps the most important and popular among people, as it affects the physiology of a person and also has medical benefits. Testosterone The primary steroid among anabolic androgenic steroids is testosterone, which is found in most species including vertebrates, animals and birds. Naturally produced by the testicles in men, and by ovaries in women, testosterone is the most important sex hormone for males. The androgenic part of the hormone is responsible for development of the primary male reproductive cells like the prostate and testis, and the anabolic part enables development of secondary sexual characteristics like muscle mass, body hair, development of vocal chords, etc. In women, this hormone is produced in very little quantities. Testosterone and its derivatives are also available as prescription drugs and hormone supplements. While some of these supplements contain these steroids in their original form, others boost their secretion in the body, thus bringing out the same kind of results. Use of AAS is highly common among people who wish to enhance their muscle mass and their body structure. Bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts and even sportspersons tend to use these steroid hormone supplements for enhanced fitness levels. Androgenic steroids are also prescribed to men who have insufficient levels of testosterone. Low quantities of this steroid hormone can affect the development of masculine characteristics in men, and excess secretion of this hormone leads to enhanced masculine traits in women. Due to the many physiological effects it has on the body, testosterone is also used as a prescription drug in certain cases. The hormone is said to deliver either anabolic or androgenic effects, although in most cases, the steroid results in both types of changes in an individual. The androgenic effects of testosterone can be seen right from the prenatal stage through the adolescence and adult phase that the person goes through. Effects of testosterone Among the biological uses of testosterone are development of sperm, regulation of physical energy and cognition, regulation of acute hypothalamic- pituitary- adrenal axis or the HPA, platelet aggregation, increased libido and maintenance of muscle trophism. The hormone induces the . There is also likely correlation between the levels of testosterone and heart attacks, obesity and perception of one's own health. Studies have also shown that testosterone levels do not in any way cause or have a negative impact on prostate cancer. It is a well- known fact that hormones, especially testosterone, play an important role in sexual arousal. Studies have also revealed that this steroid hormone impacts an individual's romantic life. The testosterone levels tend to decrease in men who fall in love, while they tend to increase in women in love. It is also suggested that fatherhood brings down the levels of testosterone in a man. While low testosterone levels decrease a person's libido, higher production of testosterone in men encourages them to have extramarital affairs. It is also suggested that for a man in a relationship, physical interaction is not necessary for maintaining high testosterone levels, while it is the opposite in women. Women need physical intimacy and interaction with their partners for increase in testosterone levels. |
