cortisol

I have been reading a bit into the three cortisol studies that have been done in the 90’s. I would like to discuss the ideas that come out of a critical evaluation of these studies. A lot of it is stating the obvious in my mind, but I still think it’s worth discussing. How could we repeat these...

Just a biology question. I think I remember reading somewhere on the internet (though it is possible that I misunderstood what I read) - and I've been searching and can't find it again - that eating food causes cortisol secretion. I think this was in the context of the circadian rhythm and...

Jim Al-khalili’s subject in his ‘The Life Scientific’ programme on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday, February 14, was Professor Sir Simon Wessely. I thought given the new research into ME and Gulf War Illness this would be of interest. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08dnr3g " Gulf War Syndrome. So...

This is worth a revisit and is something which I have followed since 1999. I know it's old but we as a family have followed this treatment since 1999 and it's approach and are revisiting it. We are lucky to have a pragmatic open minded GP who supports the approach...

New paper from Dr Broderick’s team. It seems to me that this would be a first paper and that other are in the works. Abstract Background The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a central regulator of stress response and its dysfunction has been associated with a broad range of...
