HOMEOSTATIC SUMMARY: Digestive & Over All Physiological PH Balance, Circadian Hooks (amount of sunlight, thermal conditions and sleeping cycle) and Somatotropin HGH Pituitary Health & Nutrients!

HGH Secretion from Pituitary Gland in AR Mid Interior Structure Area, Metabolic PH Cycle, Protein Breakdown & Metabolic Acidosis Utilization in Absence Of Excessive Glucose

Factors & Variables of HGH Utilization:

Chain reactions specific to Human Growth Hormone(somatotropin): Somatotropin (HGH) DOES NOT DECLINE WITH AGE as popularly assumed; it is the bodies ability to utilize1 it efficiently. Sugar/Glucose levels stall and inhibit the utilization of HGH by the body which in turn lowers DHEA (IGF-1; side note: DHEA and progesterone can both be converted to testosterone) levels as we age in the presence of excessive glucose, however DHEA (synthesized from cholesterol and secreted mostly by the adrenal glands and sometimes the brain) levels increase as the body begins to increase the utilization of HGH in the absence of excessive glucose…

1DEPENDENT NUTRIENTS FOR PRODUCTION OF HGH IS PROTEIN:

  1. Availability of a PH balance in bodies metabolic acidosis functionality would be Apple Cider Vinegar (AVC)* & Lemon Juice (LJ) which reduces gastric emptying rate which assists in breakdown down (synthesis of protein and amino acids i.e. protein metabolism) of protein (proteolysis; amino acid degradation), fats, collagen, preservatives and adaption of gut flora to plant fiber. The hormone (HGH) is produced as a 217 amino acid precursor pro-protein (Peptide). The 26 N-terminal amino acids correspond to a signal peptide, which is essential for hormone secretion{3secreting mechanism & 4glycine}.

  1. ACV & LJ also bring proper PH to assist digestive enzymes Amylase (hydrolyzes/breaks down sugars), Bromelain (digests/breaks down proteins) and Lipase (breaks down dietary fats into smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol; lipolysis is the removal of the fatty acid chains from the glycerol to which they are bound in their storage form as triglycerides or fats, is carried out by lipases…)

  2. Declining levels (with age) in PH acidity of stomach acids from low plant fiber diet.

HGH BIO-MECHANICAL CHAIN REACTION FUNCTIONALITY CYCLE MAP:

2Frequency sequence stimulating AR (Arcuate Nucleus structure area) and highest concentrations of HGH during resting metabolic state or delta phase of sleep cycle (0.5 - 4.0 Hertz on EEG brain activity scale).

“… 3SECRETION MECHANISM: It was previously believed that after stimulating HGH secretion, membrane bound secretory vesicles containing the hormone dock at the cell plasma membrane. These vesicles were believed to become completely incorporated into the plasma membrane, and would later be retrieved via endocytosis, thus allowing for passive release of the HGH within the vesicles. However, this mechanism is not supported by experimental evidence, such as the appearance of empty and partially empty vesicles immediately after secretion.

Bhanu Jena’s laboratory has recently elucidated the molecular mechanism of cellular secretion. Their studies suggest that there is actually a new cellular structure called a porosome that is involved with the mechanism. Porosomes are “basket-like” structures residing at the plasma membrane that have a 100-150nm diameter opening to the extracellular environment (Figure 1). Rather than docking directly at the plasma membrane post secretion stimulation, membrane bound secretory vesicles fuse at the base of porosomes, which subsequently expel the vesicular contents (Figure 2). During stimulation, the opening dilates about 20-35% to aid in the expulsion of HGH. The porosome returns to the resting size once the process is complete (Anderson et al., 2004)[7].

There exist several hypothalamic hormones that control growth hormone release. The most major of these secretion stimuli is the growth hormone release factor (GHRH). In contrast, the hormone known as somatostatin (SRIF) is known to suppress the release of GH by the somatotrope. These two hormones are the most well known, though it should be noted that there are multiple other control factors which both stimulate and suppress the release of HGH into the bloodstream (Anderson et al., 2004). …” http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Human_growth_hormone#Secretion_Mechanism

Hey Bunny - what does this sentence mean?

Apple cider vinegar and lemon juice make for a more acid metabolism (stomach conditions?)?

This slows the emptying of the stomach? Question if so - stomach conditions are normally already acidic, as we secrete hydrochloric acid, among other things. Other chemicals that break down proteins do indeed work better in acidic conditions, but if we are making the stomach more acidic with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, then I think this would speed up digestion and the emptying of the stomach, rather than slow it down.


(Bunny) #3

Let me say this:

The reason people do not lose weight or what have you is that they are too concerned about being FAT ADAPTED (metabolic acidosis) but not PLANT ADAPTED? You cannot get from point A to Point B (significants in weight loss) without both.

The research indicates that indeed the stomach holds on to the food/nutrients longer with ACV which gives it more time for the break down process to occur with hydrochloric acid but when you add Lemon Juice into the mix, then you give the body something to work with in adjusting the PH levels e.g. acid reflux, heart burn etc. are the result of an alkaline environment not an acidic environment! On the other side of the coin different parts of the body have variable levels of alkalinity and acidity and e.g. trying to make it all one PH by taking excessive alkaline supplements can be dangerous because your kidneys will shut down and you will quit breathing!

Okay - found an explanation for the delaying of the stomach. There are receptors in the small intestine which sense the chemical nature of food coming from the stomach; and they signal the stomach to slow down the release of food if it’s acidic. I guess that the hydrochloric acid and other acidic substances, like ACV, must be “used up” or neutralized somehow, then, in the stomach.

Most of us do lose weight, though, by being fat-adapted, regardless of how much plant matter we eat.

Interesting, the slowed stomach emptying is one of the ways the incretin mimetic diabetes meds work.

So when Niko started eating again, I fed him everything EXCEPT cow’s milk products. (He did eat goat milk products, since I had already switched to a goat’s milk formula by coincidence, and I learned that goats milk did not contain casein.) Still, no seizures. Weeks went by, no seizures. I was almost positive at this point that it had to be a casein allergy, so I slowly stepped Niko off the Keppra over the course of a week.

Unraveling the secrets of the epilepsy diet - HMS/DFCI researchers identify key seizure-suppressing protein “… “The connection between metabolism and epilepsy has been such a puzzle,” said Yellen. “I’ve met a lot of kids whose lives are completely changed by this diet. It’s amazingly effective, and it works for many kids for whom drugs don’t work.” The discovery involves a protein with the tongue-twisting name of “BCL-2-associated agonist of cell death,” or BAD, which has a role in the normal process of cell death. Danial had previously discovered a second function for the protein: It also regulates glucose metabolism. Giménez-Cassina further discovered that certain modifications in BAD switched metabolism in brain cells from glucose to ketone bodies. “It was then that we realized we had come upon a metabolic switch to do what the ketogenic diet does to the brain without any actual dietary therapy,” said Gimenez-Cassina. He went on to show that these same BAD modifications protect against seizures in experimental models of epilepsy. Still, it wasn’t clear exactly how. …” https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/05/unraveling-the-secrets-of-the-epilepsy-diet/

  7. Scientists Identify Protein Which Causes Epilepsy
    Posted Dec 21 2010 in Brain science; genetics “… A group of Anglo-American researchers have identified the protein which is involved in around *130 brain diseases, including epilepsy. The proteins are found in synapses in the brain and form together to form a group of molecules known as postsynaptic density, or PSD. Lead study investigator Seth Grant, professor at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and Edinburgh University, found a total of 1,461 proteins in synapses, with each one encoded by a different gene. This will allow scientists to easily identify and target which diseases affect certain parts of brain and therefore potentially improve their treatment. “These diseases include common debilitating diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders as well as epilepsy and childhood developmental diseases including forms of autism and learning disability,” Professor Grant said. “Since many different diseases involve the same set of proteins we might be able to develop new treatments that could be used on many diseases.” …” https://www.epilepsyresearch.org.uk/scientists-identify-protein-which-causes-epilepsy/

“… It is not entirely clear how the stress and diurnal rhythm effects are controlled separately. In part it may be a consequence of differential occupancy of GR Type I and Type II receptors, or by altering GR Type I/Type II heterodimer formation. On the other hand, there is evidence that arginine vasopressin (AVP) is involved. Although AVP alone has little effect, in conjunction with CRH, AVP causes a marked rise in ACTH secretion. Unlike CRH, AVP has little effect on POMC synthesis; however, AVP release by the hypothalamus is not as sensitive to inhibition by glucocorticoids. Thus, AVP may mediate the additional increase in ACTH release required for response to acute stress during periods of chronic stress, when CRH levels are suppressed by glucocorticoids. …” https://www.scribd.com/document/192963283/Chapter-2-Adrenal-1
