Andropause and Cardiovascular Disease: More Than an Epi-Phenomenon
Cenegenics Medical Institute:
Headquarters for the global leader in age management medicine
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) May 03, 2011
The expert scientific review, “Andropause and the development of cardiovascular disease: More than an epi-phenomenon,” was accepted for publication in the Journal of Geriatric Cardiology, announced Cenegenics® Medical Institute. The collaboration was performed with Dr. Ernst R. von Schwarz—professor of medicine at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. The article focuses on a concept hinged on the coexistence of two phenomena: declining male hormones and the rise of coronary artery disease.
The lay term “andropause” was created as a male counterpart to menopause. Medically, it refers to a hormone deficiency in combination with a decline of bodily function, such as physical capacity, body composition, libido, sexual function and increased risk of osteoporosis. All these conditions are linked to middle-aged symptoms—ones that go hand-in-hand with a reduction of testosterone, beginning in a man’s 40s and progressively declining from there. At the same time, early signs for metabolic de-arrangements, such as metabolic syndrome and vascular dysfunction, i.e. endothelial dysfunction, might occur among some men and develop into coronary artery disease, heart attacks and stroke.
“An epi-phenomenon would suggest two conditions occur at the same time, but have nothing to do with each other. Our article is so named because it goes beyond that. The hypothesis behind our scientific review is the likely causal relationship between low androgen levels and aging as well as its association with increased cardiovascular disease. We have seen that patients with coronary heart disease have reduced levels of testosterone and other sexual hormones, creating a viscous cycle. When we age, hormones decline and heart disease occurs—then the heart disease causes these sexual hormones to decline even further,” Schwarz said.
Whether replacement of testosterone in these men would be able to prevent the development or worsening of heart diseases, is currently unknown.
On the flip side, numerous studies on men and women with heart failure showed that if when treated with androgen therapy, they experience better functional capacity than those who aren’t undergoing the treatment.
Cenegenics says it stands committed to future collaborative studies to investigate the multi facets of the aging process. The global leader conducts research via its nonprofit Cenegenics Education and Research Foundation (CERF), which also offers a CME-accredited physician training/certification program in age management medicine.

Nutri-Med Logic Responds to the International Journal of Rheumatic Disease (8-11) and States: Supplementation of Nutrients, Such as Omega-3, is as Important, if Not More
Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 08, 2011
Nutri-Med Logic Corp.: Calcium or Omega-3? Is one more important than the other for Osteoporosis?
The August issue of International Journal of Rheumatic Disease only emphasizes on the need for supplementation of Calcium in Osteoporosis (doi: 10.1111/j.1756-185X.2011.01628.x. Epub 2011 Jul 8). Nutri-Med Logic believes that knowledge of anti-inflammatory foods, such as, Omega-3 would take precedent, at least in the case of menopause Osteoporosis.
Having the same general diet before, during or right after menopause, the reason that some or most women fall victims to Osteoporosis has less to do with lack of calcium in their diet, rather the lack of anti-inflammatory foods.
Women enjoy a natural anti-inflammatory hormone (estrogen), which its levels begin to fall right before menopause.
Hormone replacement therapy or Osteoporosis medication attempt to introduce anti-inflammatory to moderate chronic inflammation / lower the activity of the cells that remove old tissues from the bone.
The bone removing cells (Osteoclasts) go to work via inflammatory signals, an immune mechanism and a normal biological process. However, when the body loses its homeostasis, or in another word the inflammation becomes dysregulated, then things go out of control.
In bone remodeling (removing and making new bone tissues) the bone removing cells (Osteoclasts) can only work if they are given the signal (inflammatory signals). Before menopause, estrogen, an anti-inflammatory hormone keeps Osteoclasts in-check.
However, right before menopause, the levels of estrogen (the anti-inflammatory) begin to fall and thus the body’s homeostasis changes in favor of inflammation (inflammatory signals), increasing the activities of the Osteoclasts. If the activities of Osteoclasts is not moderated (what estrogen does) more tissue is removed, than normal, bones lose their density and if that continue, then, bones will ultimately fracture easily.
Be it hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) or any and all of the Osteoporosis medications, the target is to moderate the activity of Osteoclasts, which can only work through inflammatory signals.
If the activities of Osteoclasts is more than normal, then it would not make any difference how much of calcium is supplemented, the bones will continue losing their density.
At least in the case of menopause Osteoporosis, anti-inflammatory diet takes precedent to calcium diet. Both are important but, in our opinion, anti-inflammatory is more important.
Osteoclasts (Bone removing cells) function with inflammation and the key and principal reason for their over-activity , at least in the case of menopause Osteoporosis, is the lack of the anti-inflammatory estrogen.
Omega-3 is a potent anti-inflammatory food. A good portion of the cellular membrane (what surround the cells) must be Omega-3, this is by design.
Our body was designed to have Omega-3 in every cellular membrane. However, the body cannot produce it due to lack of enzymes (ability). Omega-3 must be obtained from diet. Anti-inflammatory foods, like Omega-3, help in moderating inflammation, as does the estrogen, but ,obviously, estrogen has much more strength.
Without a doubt, a diet rich in Omega-3 is most beneficial in the cases of Osteoporosis. However, nutrients cannot and should not be a substitute for medications. At the same time, it is not a secret that proper nutrients improve the overall health and thus confer valuable benefits.
It is also very important to note that one should not relate the cause of Osteoporosis to lack of anti-inflammatory diet.
Lack of anti-inflammatory diet contributes to a disease state such as Osteoporosis but it cannot and should not be made as mean to diagnose. Additionally, taking anti-inflammatory food, such as Omega-3 cannot be considered as a prevention or a cure.
But, anew, and without a doubt, a diet rich in Omega-3 is very beneficial for Osteoporosis, be it menopausal or otherwise.
In conclusion, Nutri-Med Logic Corp.,is not being contrary to the Publication of International Journal of Rheumatic Disease, but believes that education for anti-inflammatory diet would have to take precedent or have equal importance to Calcium supplementation, at least in the cases of menopause Osteoporosis.
The most desirable Omega-3 would be a concentrated Omega-3 and a molecularly distilled Omega-3.
Nutri-Med Logic Corp is a producer of dietary supplements that would be Essential in countering stress, inflammation, redox imbalance and hypomethylation “The Four Factors”; all of which affect the homeostasis of the body.

Author Amelia Davis Releases Her Third Photographic Essay on Living with Chronic Disease and Disability
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 9, 2005
Renowned photographer Amelia Davis releases her gorgeously illustrated book on living with osteoporosis. It is the third title in a series of photographic essays on living with chronic disease and disability.
“This important book documents the stories of people who are living with osteoporosis. The book will help you understand the silent and devastating impact of the disease. I hope that you will learn from these brave individuals who share their stories with you. We must educate and empower people through knowledge. Together, I hope we can eliminate osteoporosis as a major health problem.” – Dianne Feinstein, United States Senator
Renowned photographer Amelia Davis turns her lens on those living with osteoporotic disease in her fascinating new book, Faces of Osteoporosis. With this beautifully illustrated work, Ms. Davis communicates the message that osteoporosis affects both women and men across the life span, is both preventable and treatable, and should not be considered part of normal aging. In the United States alone there are almost 35 million people living with the disease and that number continues to grow.
Presented in this book are the inspirational stories of women, men, and even children who live with osteoporosis. Treatments, therapies, and diets are discussed and shared, from the latest advances in prescription medication to the healing power of exercise.
The book’s beautiful photographs and candid personal stories will have a positive affect on the way people view individuals with osteoporosis, and serve as a touchstone for those living with this condition. It smashes the stereotype of osteoporosis as a disease of older women, showing that the disease has myriad faces, not just one.
CREDENTIALS: A San Francisco native, Amelia Davis’s photography has been featured in fine art galleries, universities, and medical symposia, and been published in literary and art magazines internationally. She is the author and photographer of the award-winning The First Look, a photographic essay on breast cancer survivors who opted for mastectomy.
Her second critically acclaimed book, My Story: A Photographic Essay on Life with Multiple Sclerosis was a very personal look in words and pictures at multiple sclerosis. Amelia herself was diagnosed with MS in 1998.
AVAILABILITY: Nationwide by arrangement and via telephone
Faces of Osteoporosis will be available this spring in quality trade paperback for a list price of $ 21.95. It is published by Demos Medical Publishing, distributed by Publishers Group West and is also available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and all major bookstores.
Did you know most American men are not aware of the steps they can take to prevent and treat osteoporosis any more than they are aware that they can even contract this disease?
In the United States alone there are more than 2 million American men with osteoporosis, and another 3 million are at risk for the disease according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. With the population getting older, and the number of men above age 70 expected to double between 1993 and 2050, this could turn into a serious public health issue.
In her fascinating new book, Faces of Osteoporosis, renowned photographer Amelia Davis turns her lens on those living with osteoporotic disease. She communicates the important message that osteoporosis affects both women and men across the life span, is both preventable and treatable, and should not be considered part of normal aging.
The book is being released to coincide with National Osteoporosis Prevention Month this May 2006. This annual campaign aims to increase people’s knowledge of the disease, so that individuals can take steps to prevent, or at least minimize its effects.
Senator Diane Feinstein had this to say about Faces of Osteoporosis: “This important book documents the stories of people who are living with osteoporosis. The book will help you understand the silent and devastating impact of the disease. I hope that you will learn from these brave individuals who share their stories with you. We must educate and empower people through knowledge. Together, I hope we can eliminate osteoporosis as a major health problem.”
The book’s beautiful photographs and candid personal stories will have a positive affect on the way people view individuals with osteoporosis, and serve as a touchstone for those living with this condition.
Five Steps to Bone Health and Osteoporosis Prevention are:
1. Get the daily recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D
2. Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise
3. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol
4. Talk to your doctor about bone health
5. Have a bone density test and take medication when appropriate

It is normal for the bones to erode as we age. But for some people, the bones become so fragile that they break down under the body’s own weight. This causes hip, spine and forearm fractures. This disease is known as osteoporosis. This disease is more common amongst women then men. This is due to the fact that the women have lighter bones and after menopause, they experience rapid bone loss due to decrease in estrogen. Also women opt for heavy dieting in order to lose weight, where they skip highly nutritious food items. This results in weaker bones in the body. Men too can suffer from this disease if they smoke, drink or take steroids.
But there is no need to worry. It is possible for you to slow, stop or reverse this bone loss. Though women have used ERT or Estrogen Replacement Therapy to overcome this problem, you can follow the tips below to overcome or prevent this problem.
• Build up your bones: It is highly recommended that you do aerobic exercises for about 20 minutes a day at least three days a week. Exercise has been shown to stimulate bones to lay down new tissues. It is advisable to do the exercise that you can continue doing over long periods of time. Walking is the best form of exercise but you can also choose biking, swimming or aerobics.
• Walk in water: If you have suffered from fracture, walking in water is the best form of exercise. You can do this exercise three times a week for up to 30 minutes a day. The water will support body weight and ease the stress off the bones and joints.
• Use a chair and the floor for exercise: Complement water walking by doing some muscle strengthening exercises like abdominal curls, shoulder blade squeezes and back extensions. You can do these exercises on a chair or on the floor.
• Eat calcium: Doctors recommend that you get about 1000 milligrams of calcium a day, even though you have not yet reached menopause. If you are not getting an ERT treatment, increase your calcium intake by another 200 to 500 milligrams a day. This means that you can drink a quart of skim milk a day or have two cups of low-fat yogurt or four cups of low-fat cottage cheese to get 1000 milligrams. You can take the remaining requirements from supplements.
• Go for maximum absorption: Spread out your calcium supplements throughout the day rather than take all at one go. Food supplements should be taken with a meal. Doctors recommend you to take calcium carbonate which is relatively inexpensive and is easily absorbed when taken in divided dosages at mealtimes.
• Increase your Vitamin D: Get the maximum protection by consuming 400 international units of Vitamin D each day, especially if you do not get enough sunlight. Milk contains about 100 international units of Vitamin D, hence it is recommended that you take four cups a day. But other dairy products like cheese, yogurt etc cannot be taken into account since they are not fortified with Vitamin D. But do not exceed the recommended dosage of 400 international units since this vitamin is highly toxic in excess.
• Eat different types of food products: Bones do not contain calcium alone but contain an amalgam of boron, zinc and copper along with other minerals. You can get these trace elements by eating variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and other unprocessed foods.
• Stop smoking: Smoking has been shown to accelerate bone loss. It accelerates the rate at which the body metabolizes estrogen and thus canceling the benefits of ERT. It has been shown to cause bone loss in men and postmenopausal women too.
• Control your medicines: Some drugs have been shown to hasten bone loss. The most common types of drugs are corticosteroids taken for variety of conditions like rheumatic, allergic and respiratory disorders, L-thyroxine a thyroid medicine and furosemide which is a diuretic used against fluid retention associated with high blood pressure and kidney problems.
• Avoid fizzy drinks: Cola and other carbonated soft drinks contain phosphoric acid, which contains phosphorus which is a mineral, when taken in excess, causes your body to excrete calcium.
• Ease salt intake: Excess intake of salt throws the calcium out of the body. Hence do not include salt more than necessary. Avoid processed and junk foods.
The Experimental Biology Conference (FASEB) was held this year in New Orleans. The FASEB conference brings in scientists from all over the world, with more then 10,000 in attendance this year. Topics covered are wide ranging, including topics aging, cancer, cardio vascular disease, weight loss, and genetics, to name just a few. It’s truly the place many of the worlds’ top scientists converge to discuss and display the most cutting edge research in their respective areas of focus.
Various scientific societies make up the FASEB conference: The American Association of Anatomists; The American Physiological Society (APS): American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB); American Society for Investigative Pathology (ASIP): American Society for Nutrition (ASN); American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET); are all represented at FASEB.
Needless to say, this is a big conference! A great deal of the information presented at FASEB is of direct relevance to people here and now, some of which can be applied to their everyday lives in their quest for a healthier longer life. Much of the research directly supports what we already know; various naturally occurring compounds can prevent disease both directly and or indirectly. What follows is a small sample of some of the more relevant information readers may find useful to their goals of better health and longer life.
Because the shear amount of research that existed, coverage of each will be short and sweet…
Inflammation and CVD; New theories on obesity:
A fascinating symposium called “Nutrition in Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease” examined the role of inflammation in both cardio vascular disease as well as obesity and the cluster of metabolic issues that is Syndrome X or Metabolic Syndrome. That an essential step in the etiology of CVD is chronic inflammation is not a new concept per se, but more recently embraced by the scientific and medical community. One of the more interesting topics in this symposium was the issue of adipocytes (fat cells) as the main drivers of inflammation both locally and systemically and the role that plays in CVD and other diseases.
Fat cells have now become a major focus as highly active cells that control a wide variety of metabolic functions and feedback mechanisms in the human body that leads to CVD, diabetes, and other ailments. Most interesting is the new paradigm that obesity may be partly an inflammatory disease. More interesting is the theory that obese people suffer mild endo-toxemia. Endotoxins are associated with bacteria and cause inflammation. It’s been found that endotoxin levels are elevated in obese people, and these endotoxins cause a low-grade inflammation which interacts with fat cells, causing a viscous cycle. The exact cause and effect of increased endotoxin levels found in obesity is unclear at this time, but researchers are putting considerable effort into finding the answer and this symposium went a long way to connecting the dots on the role inflammation plays in CVD, Metabolic Syndrome, and possibly obesity. It was also noted that people with inflammatory diseases also suffer higher rates of CVD, so the link is well established and the mechanisms better understood. It was also clear from a verity of talks given that known natural anti-inflammatory compounds found in fish oils, green tea, cinnamon, and others may mitigate the inflammation in these chronic inflammatory states.
SIDE BAR: Nutrigenomics
Without a doubt, the most cutting edge research looking at the relationship between what we eat – be it food or supplements – and the benefits we derive, is the science of nutrigenomics. As the name implies, nutrigenomics looks directly at how nutrients interact with our genes. Wikipedia defines it as “the study of molecular relationships between nutrition and the response of genes, with the aim of extrapolating how such subtle changes can affect human health.” Some of the nutrients we eat are very powerful modulators of our genes. Perhaps one of the best defined at this time are the fatty acids found in fish oil; EPA and DHA. These two fatty acids have various health benefits that actually works on the genetic level. To show just how exiting and powerful this area of research is, one speaker commented that the active constituents found in fish oils (EPA/DHA) could actually nullify the genetic disposition some people had for developing Syndrome X and cardio vascular disease. This is an extremely promising and important finding. The science of nutrigenomics is very much in its early stage, and genetics is a complex topic, but it was very much in the forefront of the FASEB conference. Research is ongoing, and this area of research will yield the most essential results in the history of human kind to human health and longevity!
Green Tea plus Vitamin D3 and bone loss:
Osteopenia is a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal and is considered to be a precursor to osteoporosis. Chronic low grade inflammation is also known to be an essential part of bone loss in some cases, and it’s well established that people with acute inflammatory diseases suffer from higher rates of osteoporosis. A symposium entitled “Models for Bone Health” presented data that tested the effects of green tea polyphenols and vitamin D3 in animals which followed a human model of low grade inflammation negatively impacting bone health. These researchers found both D3 and Green Tea polyphenols decreased bone loss and decreased inflammation. However, when combined the effect was more pronounced, showing a true synergism between the combination of green tea polyphenols and vitamin D3 on bone health. The combination increased bone mineral density (BMD), reduced oxidative stress, reduced inflammation and DNA damage and positively impacted hormones known to control BMD.
Flax Lignans and Auraptene, a powerful agent against breast tumors:
A symposium that looked at how the diet may effect cancer called “Diet and Cancer” had a presentation that looked at the effects of flax and sesame lignans on estrogen receptor-positive human tumor cells. The researchers implanted mice with human breast cancer cells and added estrogen to encourage the growth of these cells. They then fed the mice either flax lignans or sesame lignans (vs. a control group) to see what effects either had on tumor growth. It was found the flax lignans were most effective and reduced breast cancer cell proliferation, and increased the rate of programmed cell death (apoptosis) of human breast cancer cells. Sesame lignans were found to be much less effective then lignans from Flax.
The researchers made note that it’s unclear at this time if the effects they found come directly from the lingans – and or other compounds found in flax – or if the effect is due to metabolites formed from these naturally found constituents of flax during digestion and metabolism, and research is ongoing. Meanwhile, people can enjoy the health benefits from flax lignans and wait for science to figure out why!
Another natural agent derived from citrus fruits called Auraptene has been shown to be a powerful agent against breast cancer. A known carcinogen scientists use to cause cancer in animals is called N-methyl nitrosourea. Researchers find this naturally derived compound to be highly chemoprotective* against various cancer drugs while being toxic to cancer cells, in both in vitro (test tube) and in vivo (living animals) and decreased breast cancer cell proliferation by over 50% when breast cancer was induced via N-methyl nitrosourea. Auraptene may turn out to be one of the most powerful natural anti cancer agents yet found according to researchers speaking at this symposium.
The many benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids:
As readers of the LEF magazine know well by now, Omega-3 lipids offer a wide variety of health benefits. A symposium entitled “Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Health” added additional information to the ever growing body of research that shows these fatty acids should be a staple to anyone’s longevity/health program. In fact, the first speaker to this symposium started out by making the bold statement that life span is inversely related to Omega-3 tissue levels. It’s been well characterized that much of what takes place in aging and disease happens at the level of the mitochondria, the part of our cells where energy is generated. The researchers outlined how Omega-3 lipids – more specifically EPA/DHA – appear to play an essential role in mitochondrial function by altering cell membranes. It’s been found the ratio of these fatty acids in the mitochondrial membrane is essential to the optimal function of the mitochondria.
Animals genetically altered to have higher ratios of Omega-3 to Omega-6 lipids in their tissues, have greatly reduced levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), a primary cause of oxidative stress to tissues, and a cause of mitochondrial aging and dysfunction. These animals suffer less oxidative stress and improved mitochondrial function.
Perhaps one of the most interesting research presented at this symposium was the discovery that Omega-3 lipids are neuro-protective acutely. It’s well known that the chronic intake of omega-3 lipids is neuro protective, but research was presented that showed it’s also neuro protective in animals suffering cerebral hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) which is what happens during a stroke even if the animals had not been fed omega – 3 lipids prior to the stroke! This is an amazing finding and could save the lives of millions of stroke victims or at the very least could reduce the amount of tissue damage they suffer from the stroke.
Two groups of animals were fed their normal chow, then suffered strokes and cerebral hypoxia, which is what happens in stroke victims which leads to brain tissue death. One group of animals was given an emulsion of EPA/DHA immediately after their stroke, and the effects were quite striking. The animals who did not get this emulsion had significantly more brain injury, less preserved living brain tissue and had much greater neuronal loss compared to the animals given the EPA/DHA emulsion. The researcher showed via actual brain tissue slices, the animals given the emulsion suffered less edema (another damaging effect of stroke), and far less brain damage/tissue death compared to those that didn’t get the Omega-3 fatty acids.
This research shows these amazing fatty acids have both chronic and acute benefits, and a first line therapy for greatly reducing brain damage due to strokes – which is the third leading cause of death in the US and costs approximately 70 billion dollars per year – may be giving them such an emulsion as soon as possible after a stroke. It’s unclear if an oral dose of fish oil caps would have similar effects, but it may be worth trying in this writers opinion…
Conclusion
The above is a very small sample from a very large conference. As the reader can see, great strides are being made in understanding what natural compounds can do for all that ails humanity. This writer will continue to follow the cutting edge science as it first appears at similar conferences with readers reaping the benefits of fast-as-possible communication of research to practical application.
* = chemoprotective agents are drugs which protect healthy tissue from the toxic effects of anticancer drugs.
