1. "Since the 90s, researchers who are trying to understand the accelerating increase in reproductive problems have focused on endocrine disrupting chemicals. #Endocrine disruptors include:

Phthalates, chemicals used to make #plastics more durable, found in 100s of products—from vinyl flooring to lubricating oils & personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, & bhair sprays)
#Pesticides & herbicides, including glyphosate, the world’s most widely used weed killer
Bisphenol A (BPA) & phenol, common in food storage materials
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) & brominated flame retardants, used in electronics & building materials
Per- & polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS), “forever chemicals” used as oil & water repellents & coatings for common products including cookware, carpets, & textiles.
PFAS endocrine disrupting chemicals have been found in the remotest locations on the planet, and they contaminate up to half the US #water supply."

Off the wall question, has anyone ever encountered a senator or representative who has mentioned #AdrenalInsufficiency in any context? Looking for a political #Ally for AI research funding who can help us make inroads with #NIH funders at #NIDDK where #Diabetes is the primary focus. AI is an #Endocrine problem and should be funded through NIDDK but hasn't been a focus primarily due to a lack of #Prevalence studies in my opinion.
#Thanks Fediverse!

Implanted Tissue Shown to Produce Thyroid Hormones

In a #preclinical test, #thyroid tissue earlier removed from lab animals was re-implanted in a protective pouch, which generates production of key #hormones by the animals.

Do you feel powerful calculating insulin dosage? I imagine it’s like crack. #diabetes #endocrine #medicine #endocrine

Disclosure: I’m loving endocrinology. Omg it’s amazing pathophys and such an impact??? #endocrine#medschool

Also, in #AmyConeyBarrett hearings compare with #CarolineMyss what she says - all this and why we have in the US things coming up/globally - #vaccines - and, what is grounded to me is I am still very much in #medicine #WesternMedicine at levels, including that I would rather trust vaccines/collectively believe we are there, which, #Theosophy #endocrine system and hormones all ours talk to each others’ so for all, I get, too. As, collectively that’s where our beliefs are at… and, it’s well?

This is what #remission looks like when treating a #pituitary #tumor.

I'll never know exactly when or why it started taking over that part of my #endocrine system but it's nice to know that I can ask for the right #medication when #kaiserpermanente #doctors don't know what to do or want to "see if it will get bigger". No thanks. I'd prefer a 13.6x reduction to the middle of reference range for this hormone.

Now, maybe they'll stop asking stupid questions when I ask for "uncommon labs". 🤦🏼‍♀️🤯

Happy to share our new article, which has been in the making for a veeery long time!

In this study we looked at the control of the entrance of #ghrelin in the #brain

Ghrelin is a #hormone produced by the stomach, which induces hunger. In order to do so, ghrelin needs to enter the brain, to reach neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the #hypothalamus, a region of the brain important for many #endocrine responses.

Here, we explore the role of cells lining the capillaries (such as #perycytes ) at the median eminence, which is on of the "doors" of the brain, where molecules from the periphery are allowed to get in.

We used a mouse model where pericytes can be electrically excited via #optogenetics to study the dynamics of ghrelin entrance in the brain. When we excited pericytes, there was a slow-down of blood flow at the median eminence, resulting in slower entrance of ghrelin, lower and delayed food intake in response to ghrelin injection.

This shows pericytes as a potential therapeutical target for metabolic diseases.

Doing an experimental 72-hour #fatfast with only butter as my food source (no more cream in #coffee!) and I'm down 3 pounds after 35 hours! Yesterday it really hit home just how important animal fats are to our hormonal and metabolic health (same thing, really).

I can never go back, knowing what I know now.
