“Animal experiments show that lack of thyroid hormone can cause cystic ovaries.” -Ray Peat, PhD in “Nutrition for Women” Animal Reproduction Science Volume 39, Issue 2 , Pages 159-168, July 1995 The importance of thyroid hormone in experimental ovarian cyst formation in gilts Remigiusz Fitko, Jan Kucharski, Beata Szlezyngier The Anatomical Record Volume 90, Issue [...]
Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 1994 Jun;23(2):379-86. Hypertension in thyroid disorders. Saito I, Saruta T. Hypertension is more common in hypothyroidic patients than in euthyroid controls in older age groups. Treatment of the thyroid deficiency alone lowers blood pressure in most patients. Hemodynamically, cardiac output is reduced and total peripheral resistance is elevated. The latter [...]
FEBS Lett. 1998 Sep 11;435(1):25-8. Glucocorticoids decrease cytochrome c oxidase activity of isolated rat kidney mitochondria. Simon N, Jolliet P, Morin C, Zini R, Urien S, Tillement JP. The importance of mitochondria is rising as a target in pathologic processes such as ischemia. We have investigated the effects of hydrocortisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone and triamcinolone on [...]
A crucial enzyme in the mitochondrion is cytochrome oxidase, which reacts directly with oxygen, completing (or beginning) the process of chemical respiration. It is this enzyme (which is most sensitive to cyanide) which appears to be a “choke point” for energy production in various situations. Learning how to preserve and promote the activity of this [...]
By Raymond F. Peat, Ph. D. Editor’s Note: In her “Of Many Things” column this January, Betty Franklin introduced Dr. Raymond Peat’s work with natural progesterone, applied externally. Response from readers has been tremendous, so we invited Dr. Peat to write a follow-up, more comprehensive report on the subject. His doctorate, from the University of [...]
By Mary Shomon Raymond Peat, Ph.D. is editor and researcher of a popular and well-known monthly newsletter on nutrition and health, as well as author of a number of cutting-edge publications that look at aging, nutrition, and hormones from a biochemical perspective. Some of the key points Dr. Peat makes are: Estrogen blocks the release [...]
The low carbon dioxide production of hypothyroidism (e.g., Lee and Levine, 1999), and the respiratory alkalosis of estrogen excess, are often overlooked. An adequate supply of calcium, and sometimes supplementation of salt and baking soda, can increase the tissue content of CO2. -Ray Peat, PhD Can J Anaesth. 1999 Feb;46(2):185-9. Acute respiratory alkalosis associated with [...]
J Endocrinol Invest. 1993 Sep;16(8):619-24. Hormonal pattern in women affected by rheumatoid arthritis. Valentino R, Savastano S, Tommaselli AP, Riccio A, Mariniello P, Pronesti G, De Divitiis PM, Lombardi G. Gonadal sex hormones may account for the sexual dimorphism in the immune response and for the greater incidence of autoimmune disease in females. We have [...]
