Since, the introduction of synthetic thyroid hormones; we have been bombarded with information from its manufacturers and representatives. We have been told that the production of synthetic hormones [...]
While the competition by PUFA for protein binding sites block the effects of thyroid hormone and vitamin A, the actions of PUFA on sex steroid binding protein (SBP, or SSBG, for sex steroid binding globulin) increases the activity of estrogen. That’s because the SSBG neutralizes estrogen by binding to it, keeping it out of cells; [...]

Since Selye’s work, it has been known that estrogen creates the same conditions as occur in the shock phase of the stress reaction. (And shock, in a potential vicious circle, can increase the level of estrogen.) -Ray Peat, PhD Circ Shock. 1994 Aug;43(4):171-8. Sex steroid hormones in circulatory shock, sepsis syndrome, and septic shock. Fourrier [...]
