Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi You've found me out - pretty quick too. No - I'm not a growth hormone expert. Thierry Hertoghe is though and I know that he prescribes growth hormone to some of his patients (damned expensive as well I would imagine). I'd suggest doing some Internet searches for papers by him or he may have a website. Please post any findings that you have back on the forum as I'd be interested to see what you find. Sheila has a copy of his book but I'm not sure if she's read it yet or whether she knows the answer to this. I'm more curious about why you would ask. Using growth hormone if someone is not chronically ill with hypopituitarism is a big step. For most of the rest of us simply finding the right blend of thyroid hormone is a perfectly adequate fix. If our cells need more T3 then we can use NT or T4/T3. If we need more T3 still then we can use T3/NT or increase the T3:T4 ratio or even use pure T3. This is a relatively simple process and one that is far more understood than using growth hormone (probably cheaper too). Anyway, I'd be interested in what you find out. Cheers, > I'm looking to learn more about the effects of human growth hormone on t4 to t3 conversion.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It's not really a case of having read " The Hormone Handbook " , mostly I have, but it is a reference book, with over 300 of those pages being references to the science/studies etc. This Hormone Handbook concentrates on the deficiency and treatment of all the hormones, and doesn't go into such things as the effects of growth hormone on T4 and T3 thyroid hormone levels or thyroid hormone conversion. You can see and listen to him on Youtube. - but it's cut short. Luv - Sheila > I'm looking to learn more about the effects of human growth hormone on t4 to t3 conversion.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 hello i just wondered if you had any knowledge on this, that's all, as i gather that gh can help with t4-t3 conversion. i have read around the subject but not found much about it i don't want to discuss my reasons for looking into GH, t3 etc on an open forum. c > > Hi > > > I'm more curious about why you would ask.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Its going to be pretty dull really. Just some experience of using T3 - no great mega best-seller or anything. Certainly not anything to get excited about. Don't expect anything earth shattering - I'm not an earth shattering sort of person as anyone that reads any of my posts will soon discover. Have a nice weekend. > > Hi Mandy, > > has written about his experiences with t3, and is aiming to have it published soon. I'm not sure if he has written anything else though.....

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 God knows - I'll probably be reduced to standing on some street corner or a tube station trying to hawk them around. Don't get excited or especially interested. If it happens then it happens. If it does then it won't be something to get too excited about. Most of these types of books don't really have a major impact - they sometimes have the odd bit of info in them that can be useful. That's it.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Oh, you are so modest . I can tell you all that this book is not " pretty dull " , it will be a best seller - and after publication and it gets onto every doctors desk, it will soon become their bible - assuming that these doctors can read, which I am beginning to wonder, because it is obvious very few have read the science or studies already published and available for all to see - if only they would. I will be queuing with the rest to get my precious book signed. Luv - Sheil Its going to be pretty dull really. Just some experience of using T3 - no great mega best-seller or anything.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hi will this citation help? from the Discussion section [[....The current study further shows that the T3-induced phosphorylation of AMPK leads to increased fatty acid oxidation, which would subsequently increase mitochondrial acetyl-CoA levels and stimulate oxidative phosphorylation. T3 exerts profound effects on cell growth, differentiation, and thermogenesis, processes that may consume a considerable amount of ATP or dissipate mitochondrial membrane potential. Thus, cells with limited energy turnover could not properly respond to T3. The activation of AMPK would allow cells to switch on ATP-generating pathways and render them acceptable for T3. ]] http://mend.endojournals.org/content/22/4/893.full.pdf+html best wishes Bob >> Hi > > You've found me out - pretty quick too.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hey Bob thanks for this. I'm not sure how the AMPK can be applied though - is this stuff that can be made into a drug and used as a co-factor for those people who may not even respond to T3? Are you thinking of something else? You've obviously got something in mind. Cheers, > > > Hi > > > > will this citation help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
