THE HORMONAL MODULATION TO BALANCE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND EMMOTIONAL STATUS !
LIFE EXPECTANCY REQUIRES HORMONAL MODULATION THERAPYWHY IS THAT?
HORMONAL MODULATION =HORMONAL BALANCE • HORMONES ACT SYNERGISTICALY • ONE AFFECTS THE OTHERS FUNCTION • PRODUCTION • RESPONSE • CELL RECEPTORS SENSITIVITY
MY EXPERIENCE WITH ANTI-AGINGAND BLUE TENT MY EXPERIENCE WITH ANTI-AGINGAND BLUE TENT
WHAT TO DO IN HORMONAL MODULATION? CORRECTION OF HORMONAL DEFICIENCY CORRECTION OF HORMONAL OVERPRODUCTION
HORMONAL MODULATION • AGING PROCESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH DECREASE OF MOST OF HORMONES LIKE: SEXUAL HORMONES, DHEA, HGH, T4? MELATONIN • AGING PROCESS IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASE OF SOME HORMONES LIKE: INSULIN, CORTISOL, PTH
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM… BIG ORCHESTRA
HORMONE DEFICIENCY AND OVERPRODUCTION PROMOTE DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH THE AGING PROCESS
BENEFITS OF THE USE OF HGH IN ADULTS WITH DEFICIENCYSUPPORT THE SHARP DECLINE IN THE ELDERLY 20 y 60 y
HGH • THE HGH RESTORES MUSCLE MASS AND STRENGTH OF THE ADULT WITH DEFICIENCY
HGH • IT ACCELERATES THE HEALING OF SURGICAL WOUNDS • AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM • USED TO PREVENT AND REVERSE CACHEXIA IN HIV PATIENTS
HGH • SECRETION IN PULSES • THE HGH IS A SINGLE CHAIN OF 191 AMINO ACIDS 75% • 22 KD PROTEIN, 20 KD • NO GLYCOGEN • HAS TWO BRIDGES S = S
HGH • VALUES RANGE FROM UNDETECTABLE TO 40MCG/DL • THE SECRETION IS AFFECTED BY FOOD • DECREASED IN HYPERGLYCEMIA • INCREASED BY AMINO ACIDS AND HYPOGLYCEMIA
FACTORS THAT INCREASE SECRETION OF HGH • SOMATOTROPIN: GH-RH(HYPOTHALAMUS) • HYPOGLYCEMIA • AMINO ACIDS • ACUTE STRESS
FACTORS THAT REDUCE THE SECRETION OF HGH • IGFs= SOMATOMEDIN C (NEGATIVE FEED-BACK) • HYPERGLYCEMIA • CHRONIC STRESS • AGING PROCESS
HGH • HOW TO EVALUATE HGH DEFICIENCY IN AGING PROCESS?
HGH • IGF SMALL MOLECULE PRODUCED BY MOST TISSUES, ESPECIALLY LIVER • FREE : IGF • LINKED TO PROTEIN: IGF-BP 1,2,3,4,5
HGH • THE IGF-1 MEDIATE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTIONS OF HGH • THE IGF-BPs MODULATE THE ACTIONS OF IGFs IN THE TARGET CELLS • IGF-BPs CHANGE BIOAVAILABILITY OF IGFs TO THE TISSUES
DIAGNOSIS HGH DEFICIENCY • IGFs: SECRETION REFLECTS THE OVERALL PRODUCTION IN THE LAST 24 HOURS • USED IN ADULTS WITH DEFICIENCY
DIAGNOSIS • IN PATHOLOGICAL DEFICIENCY - DYNAMIC TESTIN CHILDREN ONLY: CLONIDINE, INSULIN, L-DOPA, PROPANOLOL, GLUCAGON : TEST : HGH • IN AGING PROCESS : TEST :IGFs
THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF BENEFICIAL USE OF HGH IN ADULTS WITH DEFICIENCY 1962
SYMPTOMS LOSS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING • REDUCED VITALITY AND ENERGY • DECREASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY • DEPRESSED MOOD • EMOTIONAL LABILITY • ANXIETY • DISORDERS OF SEXUAL FUNCTION • SOCIAL ISOLATION
SIGNS CHANGES IN BODY COMPOSITION • REDUCTION OF LEAN BODY MASS • INCREASED FAT • INCREASED VISCERAL FAT • REDUCTION OF BODY WATER • REDUCTION OF BONE DENSITY
SIGNSDECREASED MUSCLE STRENGTH DECREASED ABILITY TO EXERCISE INCREASED BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) INCREASED WAIST / HIP RATIO
ABNORMAL LIPID PROFILE • INCREASE IN TOTAL CHOLESTEROL • INCREASED LDL • REDUCTION OF HDL
INCREASED RISK OF CVD • INCREASED PAI-1 (PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATION INHIBITOR) • INCREASED OF FIBRINOGEN
CURRENT CONCEPTS THE GROWTH HORMONE RESEARCH SOCIETY SUGGESTS: INCREASING DOSES OF GH, NOT BASED ON WEIGHT
DOSESPATIENTS SHOULD START TREATMENT WITH LOW DOSES(0.15 TO 0.3 MG / DAY OR 0.45 TO 0.9 IU / DAY);(RARELY EXCEEDS 1 MG / DAY: 3 IU / DAY)
MONITORING THE DOSE GRADUALLY ACCORDING TO CLINICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL RESPONSESWOMEN REQUIRE HIGHER DOSES, THE ELDERLY REQUIRE LOWER DOSES
THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE DAILY, AT NIGHT, SUBCUTANEOUSLY.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE OF HGH: • NON COMPENSATED DIABETES MELLITUS • HEART FAILURE • SMOKING • MALIGNANT TUMORS OF ANY ORIGIN IN ACTIVITY
DIABETES;HYPERTENSION;CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE; IATROGENIC ACROMEGALY;CANCER??? SIDE EFFFECTS OF GH ABUSE
CLIMACTERIC SYNDROMEPRE-MENOPAUSE • HORMONAL CHANGES : LOSS OF CYCLE 2nd phase • CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS • SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS • LABORATORY : LOW PROGESTERONE
MENOPAUSE • DEFINITION: AMENORRHEA • HORMONAL CHANGES • CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS • SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS • LABORATORY
EFFECTS OF FEMALE SEXUAL HORMONES • ESTROGENS ARE PRODUCED IN FOLICULAR CELL: STIMULATES CELL PROLIFERATION • PROGESTERONE IS PRODUCED BY CORPUS LUTEUM: MATURE CELLS STIMULATED BY ESTROGENS
TESTOSTERONE • LIBIDO • BONE DENSITY • MUSCLE STRENGTH • MOOD
CLINICAL CHANGES OF PROGESTERONE DEFICIENCY • ENDOMETRIAL HYPERPLASIA • EXACERBATION OF PMS • MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES • BREAST CANCER?
CHANGES OF CLINICAL ESTROGEN DEFICIENCY • VASOMOTOR SYMPTOMS • BONE LOSS • ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND CVD • INSOMNIA • EMOTIONAL LABILITY • UROGENITAL ATROPHY • DEMENTIA
