Hormones and Aging
|
|
|
|
Dr. W. Donner Denckla, working at the National Institutes of Health,
|
|
Harvard and at the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol
|
|
Abuse discovered a hormone called DECO (decreasing consumption of
|
|
oxygen).
|
|
|
|
DECO is commonly referred to as the "death hormone" due to an
|
|
apparent link with its presence and accelerated aging processes.
|
|
|
|
Denckla removed the pituitary gland from rat brains and injected
|
|
them with thyroid, growth and other hormones, he noted that the
|
|
organ systems of rats with an absence of DECO appeared much younger
|
|
than normal.
|
|
|
|
Aged rat hearts and lungs seemed to become rejuvenated. However,
|
|
when these same rats were injected with DECO, their organs began to
|
|
age at a much accelerated rate.
|
|
|
|
Another contributor to the aging process is the thyroid hormone,
|
|
Thymosin. Dr. Allen Goldstein of George Washington University
|
|
Medical School, found that thymosin helps the immune system to
|
|
remain strong. Aging causes thymosin levels to drop which increases
|
|
susceptibility to disease.
|
|
|
|
Yet another contributor is the hormone DHEA (dehydrepiandrosterone).
|
|
This substance is found in abundance in vegetarians and teens, yet
|
|
grows scarce in later years.
