Does NHE promote diabetes?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #191 of 429 |
Growth Hormone seems to promote diabetes in two ways:
1) by GH's ability to increase free fatty acid concentration in the blood
following lipolysis
(acts directly on beta cells in pancreas?)
2) by a sort of negative feedback loop which downregulates insulin receptors
(because GH
utilizes parts of the insulin signalling pathway)

Please bring relief to my concerns. Does NHE promote diabetes?

Thanks Joel, I wouldn't imagine that any dietary manipulation would make GH go unreasonably hog wild. I knew a few people who were using exogenous GH, the...

Not off topic at all Jason, this is what NHE is all about! Unless you're willing to take GH for the rest of your life I think there's no point in taking it....

Good points Simon. The more you look into hormomes, the more complicated you realize the whole system is. It seems like influencing someone's hormones through...

Yes, i witnessed exactly that - once they stopped taking it it kinda seemed like they were worse off than if they never did at all. No shortcuts in this life...
