https://sci-hub.ru/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23583255/
Our findings suggest that simvastatin may mitigate improvements in fitness in response to exercise training by impairing increases in skeletal muscle mitochondrial content and function. In support of these data, physiologic doses of simvastatin disrupt mitochondrial respiration, increase oxidative stress, and activate mitochondrial apoptotic pathways in isolated skeletal muscle fibers (27). Similar observations have been reported in studies of muscle fibers taken from patients using statins (28), and high dose simvastatin (80 mg per day) has been shown to decrease skeletal muscle mitochondrial content in the absence of exercise (29,30). Statins have also been shown to reduce skeletal muscle force production (31), running capacity (17,18) and voluntary running volume (31) in rodents.

>empagliflozin protects your kidneys and heart.
All it does is lowering blood glucose levels. It's useless if you're not overconsuming carbs or have high level of physical activity when your muscles act as glucose sink, and can lead to hypoglycemia.

Exemestane has been the best addition to my stack. Your opinion is skewed by reading reports from users of exogenous androgens and breast cancer patients, as well as use of non-steroidal aromatase inhibitors. In healthy men not using exogenous androgens it acts very differently - exemestane raises total testosterone by 50%, free testosterone by more than 100% and lowers estrogen only by 40%. Here's a good explanation of the mechanism:

"AIs absolutely act differently in men who are not HPTA suppressed, due to the actions of an intact negative feedback loop.

In men not using exogenous androgens it goes like this...take an AI -> estradiol goes down -> pituitary gland recognizes that estradiol is decreasing -> men only have one way to create more estradiol (aromatization) -> pituitary gland increases gonadotropin production in order to create more testosterone -> this testosterone is aromatized into estradiol.

That’s the negative feedback loop at work.

When there is an interruption in this loop (gonadotropin production ceases when we use testosterone), that’s when it becomes very easy to drive estradiol too low. Since we are shut down, the pituitary gland is unable to ramp up gonadotropin production in its attempt to create more estradiol via aromatization.

There are numerous studies of men on AI monotherapy in which they used very large doses, but did not achieve anywhere near the suppression of estradiol that we would see in somebody using testosterone as well. We’re talking 1-2mg of Arimidex per day, 2.5mg of Letrozole several times per week, etc. What occurred was a significant increase in testosterone levels, and a moderate decrease in estradiol.

Here are some relevant studies:

>Relevance of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of exemestane and synergism with sulforaphane for disease prevention
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3839725/
In conclusion, in addition to its potent mechanism-dependent inhibition of estrogen biosynthesis, exemestane has chemoprotective properties that have hitherto not been explicitly recognized. Exemestane should therefore be considered for use also in chemoprotection against mammary tumors that are not estrogen receptor-positive, and against a wide variety of nonmammary tumors (and possibly other chronic diseases) that are not estrogen-dependent but have oxidative stress, inflammation, and electrophile-damaging etiologies. The additional finding that exemestane shows powerful synergism with another widely consumed Nrf2-activator, sulforaphane, and a number of other phytochemicals, increases the attractiveness of this strategy. Our findings favor the view that use of exemestane with its broad range of actions, and its potential synergism with sulforaphane and other phytochemicals, could be a valuable chemoprotective strategy for reducing the risk of many malignancies and possibly other chronic diseases.

>Aromatase inhibitors regenerate the thymus in aging male rats
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0192056192901152
"...The thymus can be regenerated in aging rats by surgical or chemical castration and regeneration is inhibited by testosterone, which may exert this effect, at least in part, through its conversion to estradiol. An attempt has been made to regenerate the thymus in intact aging rats using inhibitors of the aromatase system, in the hope that this maneuver could lead to the use of such chemical intervention in the treatment of immunodeficiency syndromes. Young adult and aging (18-month-old) male rats were orchidectomized under ether anesthesia and 7 days later given s.c. implants of testosterone in silicone elastomer (SILASTIC) tubing. Some rats received testosterone together with a five-fold excess of the aromatase inhibitor 1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione (ATD). One group of young intact rats received implants containing 25 mg ATD and group of 18-month-old intact rats received 125 mg ATD or 25 mg of another, more powerful aromatase inhibitor 4-hydroxyandrostenedione (4-OH). On the 28th day after implanting, rats were killed and the thymus, spleen, prostate gland and seminal vesicles removed for weighing and histology. In addition, estrogen receptors were measured in the thymus was enlarged after orchidectomy and greatly restored in aging rats. In aging rats, both aromatase inhibitors restored the thymus, which appeared normal histologically. In addition, ATD enlarged the thymus in young intact animals. ... It is therefore possible to restore the thymus in intact aging rats without recourse to surgical or chemical castration, and such a maneuver may possibly be of use to enhance an immune system weakened by aging or disease."

>Potential repositioning of exemestane as a neuroprotective agent for Parkinson's disease
https://sci-hub.ru/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28770670/
The present study examined for the first time the effect of exemestane on the brain. Exemestane is highly lipophilic, and it distributes extensively into tissues, owing to its lipophilicity [59], suggesting that it can readily enter the brain. Our results demonstrated that exemestane activate the Nrf2 signalling pathway, induce gene expression of Nrf2-depensent enzyme genes, and suppress inflammatory responses. It also prevented microglial activation, dopaminergic neurodegeneration, and motor deficits in MPTP-treated mice. Therefore, exemestane repositioning for disease-modifying therapy for PD might be considered, in addition to its current usage in breast cancer.

>Association Between Hormone-Modulating Breast Cancer Therapies and Incidence of Neurodegenerative Outcomes for Women With Breast Cancer
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2763234
In this cohort study of 57843 perimenopausal- to postmenopausal-aged women with breast cancer, exposure to hormone-modulating therapy (tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors, especially exemestane) was associated with a significant decrease in the number of women who received a diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease, most specifically Alzheimer disease.
For AD, HMTs (such as estrogen therapy) have been shown to be associated with the onset of AD,34 whereas estrogen therapy has been shown to be ineffective as a treatment for those with a diagnosis of AD.35-43 Similarly, the failure of trials evaluating the use of SERMs in the treatment of AD could be due to the fact that the intervention was started past the therapeutic window for HMTs.18,44-46 Here, we show the beneficial effects of exposure to HMT as a prophylactic treatment for the potential prevention of AD.

>>
>>77248447
To produce estrogen from testosterone. Estrogen is needed partly in adult life, but mostly it's needed to produce some testosterone-dependent sexual dimorphism in puberty (as evident by aromatase-null males) - after that, not so much, It's similar to DHT in that regard. Even in puberty if you have too much conversion of testosterone to estrogen via aromatase you can develop gyno or low height.

>To produce estrogen from testosterone.
This is how aromatase performs its role.

The role of aromatase in male physiology is to ensure testosterone homeostasis. It does this in two ways.

Testosterone in circulation inhibits testosterone production by inhibiting LH in the hypothalamus. Aromatization of testosterone in circulation is one of the mechanisms that lifts this inhibition, prompting the release of GnRH and LH by the hypothalamus, which are required to stimulate cells in the male testes responsible for spermatogensis and the majority of testosterone synthesis. Inhibition of aromatase impairs GnRH and LH release, and inhibits steady testosterone levels.

Aromatase is also required for testosterone to exert its effects on male brains. Throughout adulthood, key areas in the male brain involved in memory (hippocampus), sexual behaviour (pre-optic area), pain tolerance (anterior cingulate cortex) and emotional regulation (DLPFC) are regulated exclusively by estrogen receptors. Testosterone is locally aromatized, which is the only manner in which testosterone can exert its effects on male behaviour by masculinizing the architecture of the male brain (throughout adulthood).

The same mechanism is responsible for controlling the suppression of LH in the hypothalamus. LH is suppressed by testosterone itself, and testosterone which is locally aromatized. Estrogen in circulation, produced through aromatization, is blocked from interacting with estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus. So, these are two different, separate mechanisms of aromatization of testosterone.

>>77248489
>>77248594
Additionally, you are referencing a study of aromatase inhibition in females to allude to its suggested beneficial effects in males, but this is a grave, grave mistake.

The role of aromatase in the female body is DRASTICALLY different from that of males.

Aromatase in the female body is responsible for the production of estrogen. All estrogen is fabricated from testosterone, including the female body. Until methods were discovered to synthesize testosterone in vitro in the 80s, testosterone was harvested from pregnant women in the 60s and 70s, since pregnancy drastically elevates sex steroid production, for which testosterone is the precursor. In the past, pregnancy tests worked through the detection of testosterone and epitestosterone in female urine.

Aromatase functions as a homeostatic control mechanism in the male nervous system. Aromatase functions as the agent for sex steroid production in females.

The problem with post-menopausal females and Alzheimer's is that there are multiple forms of estrogen. Estradiol is crucial in maintaining cognitive function in female brains, and estradiol levels decline significantly with menopause. The problem is not levels of estrogen itself, its reduced levels of estradiol compared to estrone. The point of aromatase inhibitors in females in the context of Alzheimer's is to reduce levels of estrone, increasing the ratio of estradiol to estrone (which will keep being produced in the same quantities).

As you can imagine, since male brain physiology is regulated through local aromatization of testosterone, estrogen in circulation is excluded from interacting with estrogen receptors, and males don't have a physiology where the management of estradiol and estrone is present, aromatase inhibitors will not interact with the neurobiological characteristics of Alzheimer's the way they do in post-menopausal women.

>>77248489
>>77248594
>>77248601
In general, hormonal regulation as it relates to behaviour and brain function is remarkably different in males and females.

Male sex steroid regulation works predominately through negative feedback. Testosterone blocks testosterone production. Activity in estrogen receptors in the brain reduces the amount of estrogen receptors. Male sex steroid regulation is characterized by the nervous system attempting to maintain steady levels of testosterone production and testosterone in circulation, reducing peaks and dips. Testosterone's effects on male behaviour in the brain are mediated through estrogen receptors, which acts a "safeguard" to ensure that excess testosterone does not lead to changes in male physiology that further affect testosterone production. Testosterone is still required to make them happen, but the degree to which it can bring about changes is controlled by aromatization. Inhibition of aromatase not only inhibits aromatase of testosterone in the circulation (a crucial process, which in and of itself is responsible for initiating production of new testosterone), inhibition of aromatase also prevents testosterone from making male brains "more male".

Female sex steroid regulation works predominately through positive feedback. Estrogens in circulation don't inhibit LH, they stimulate LH. This is how ovulation happens, because sex steroids in females stimulate the production of more sex steroids, until the system is overloaded (which initiates the process of menstruation). As you can imagine, aromatase is not a stopgap mechanism in female physiology used to maintain stable levels of sex steroids. (additionally, this is why trannies can never ovulate, because the anatomy of the female hypothalamus is different from the anatomy of the male hypothalamus, since the male hypothalamus is keyed towards sex steroids providing negative feedback, while ovulation depends on positive feedback mechanisms.

Honestly, i'm not of the mindset to think of the hormones as having different "roles" in the body.

Speaking of them as having "roles" is either just a simplistic way of communication or creationist retardation.

Suppression of estrogen, via estrogen receptor or aromataseblockade, is being investigated in the treatment of differentconditions. Exemestane (Aromasin) is a potent and selectiveirreversible aromatase inhibitor. To characterize its suppres-sion of estrogen and its pharmacokinetic (PK) properties inmales, healthy eugonadal subjects (14–26 yr of age) were re-cruited. In a cross-over study, 12 were randomly assigned to25 and 50 mg exemestane daily, orally, for 10 d with a 14-dwashout period. Blood was withdrawn before and 24 h after the last dose of each treatment period. A PK study was per-formed (n ⴝ 10) using a 25-mg dose. Exemestane suppressed plasma estradiol comparably with either dose [25 mg, 38% (P <0.002); 50 mg, 32% (P < 0.008)], with a reciprocal increase in testosterone concentrations (60% and 56%; P < 0.003 for both).Plasma lipids and IGF-I concentrations were unaffected by treatment. The PK properties of the 25-mg dose showed the highest exemestane concentrations 1 h after administration, indicating rapid absorption. The terminal half-life was 8.9 h. Maximal estradiol suppression of 62 ⴞ 14% was observed at12 h. The drug was well tolerated. In conclusion, exemestaneis a potent aromatase inhibitor in men and an alternative to the choice of available inhibitors.

There's many more healthy ways to diminish LDL and damage done by it besides statins, including drugs of sartan class, ezetimibe that prevents alzheimer's disease by improving neural protein dynamics as off-target effect, anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin that also raises free thyroid hormones), and direct thyroid-mimetics such as sobetirome.

I'm the guy from the last thread who asked about bigger balls. I don't have access to HCG or any of the other stuff that would probably make it happen faster, but I did start taking iron (27mg), D3 (5000 IU), and zinc (50mg). It's not as much as the Russian guy, but it's what I could get off the shelf.

I'll let y'all know if anything comes of it, but so far I think the iron is just giving me fatigue. I don't have any other symptoms of iron toxicity so it may be some other energy problem.

Clomiphene / Enclomiphene, performance enhancing SERM, may be potent anti-aging drug acting through upregulation of lysosomal biogenesis. There's 2 recent chinese studies that looked at it's induction of TFEB.

>>TFEB agonist clomiphene citrate activates the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and ameliorates Alzheimer's disease symptoms in mice
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11599454/
>The TFEB activator clomiphene citrate ameliorates lipid metabolic syndrome pathology by activating lipophagy and lipolysis
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006295224006956

I know those studies don't mean much alone, but there seems to be confirmatory signals from other laboratories, and they point to active TEFB inductor being the enclomiphene component.

>Enclomiphene Citrate for the Treatment of Secondary Male Hypogonadism
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5009465/
Initial animal testing of enclomiphene was conducted by Repros Theraputics on baboons. The animals were administered 1.5 mg/kg/day of zuclomiphene, enclomiphene or clomiphene for 12 days with serum hormone measurements at 0, 12 and 19 days.
...
Surprisingly, baboons treated with zuclomiphene also experienced 22% increases in serum cholesterol levels.
...
enclomiphene-treated baboons had an even greater increase in testosterone (170 ng/dl to 1,144 ng/dl, p=0.03) with an 8% reduction in serum cholesterol levels.

>TFEB; Beyond Its Role as an Autophagy and Lysosomes Regulator
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9562866/
Accumulated evidence has underscored the role of TFEB as a master regulator of lysosome biogenesis and autophagy. TFEB activation positively regulates the expression of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis-related genes that promote the clearance of intracellular substrates through lysosomal exocytosis. However, increasing evidence suggests the crucial role of the TFEB protein in the control of several other vital cellular processes, such as cellular senescence, DNA repair, ER stress, carbohydrates metabolism, lipid metabolism, and WNT signaling-related processes that position TFEB as a key regulator responding to a variety of environmental cues. The newly identified noncanonical roles of TFEB have revealed how it is able to integrate multiple upstream stimuli to mediate specific downstream responses that conceivably could have medical relevance. Therefore, pharmacological strategies for TFEB activation or mitigation might be a promising approach in specific disease conditions, as is the case of metabolic or neurodegenerative diseases, and may hold relevance for a larger number of human diseases.

Can gliptins be effectively used to prevent side effects and improve performance-enhancing effects of ibutamoren?
DPP-IV inhibition leads to significantly increased GLP-1 and GIP secretion, so when ibutamoren raises your blood glucose, those hormones raise accordingly and stabilize it. Also, inhibition of DDP-IV prolong half-life of GHRH and IGF-1, making ibutamoren more effective.

>Flurbiprofen enhances growth and cancellous and cortical bone accumulation in rapidly growing long bones
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2660884/
The effects of flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on bone growth was studied by static and dynamic histomorphometry in immature (28 days old) male Sprague-Dawley rats. Flurbiprofen at 0, 0.02, 0.1, 0.5 or 2.5 mg/kg/d doses was given subcutaneously daily for 21 days. The 0.1 and 0.5 mg/kg/d doses were most effective in stimulating longitudinal and radial bone growth and enhancing the accumulation of cancellous and cortical bone. Proximal tibial longitudinal bone growth rate, growth plate thickness, and periosteal bone formation rate were increased 30-40%, while cortical bone (tibial shaft) and cancellous bone (proximal tibial metaphysis) accumulated 12% and 90% more bone than controls, respectively. Enhanced accumulation of cortical bone was attributed to stimulated periosteal bone formation without accompanying marrow cavity enlargement. Enhanced accumulation of cancellous hard tissue was postulated to be due to reduced trabecular bone resorption and no effect on bone formation. The cell counts support these conclusions. There was a decrease in osteoclast numbers (-62 to -70%), an insignificant decrease in osteoblast numbers (-5 to -30%) per mm of bone surface and a decrease in osteoclast to osteoblast ratio (-35 to -56%). The findings presented are compatible with the conclusion that flurbiprofen, induced changes in rapidly growing long bones by reducing osteoclast activity and recruitment, stimulating longitudinal and radial growth, increasing the cortical bone mass by stimulated periosteal bone growth and depressed endosteal resorption, and increasing cancellous bone mass by depressed trabecular bone resorption without affecting bone formation.

Stalled around 175-177 for abt 3 weeks.
Cut cardio on the recc of body by science by doug mcguff and what kevin richardson the naturally intense guy talks abt and reduced succinate and R-ALA supplementation in half to 5g/800mg respectively, and introduced the 10% deficit back on my two full rest days and finally broke under 175 while maintaining workout quality and feeling better energy with no cardio. Taking temp after meals, even without succ/ALA at half of reg I'm still peaking around 98.8 or 100.1f which means my body has worked through almost ALL of the pufa/o6 that was stored in my fat cells.
Going for 170 but basically I want to keep quality of life and workouts and keep gaining strength like I've been doing.

In other news, my T averages 800-900 but I'm feeling pushed to go from 3 rest days to 4 because I'm feeling doms and not recovered after the 3 days anymore, anything else (besides chinese roidweenie chems) I can do for recovery besides sleep?

Nah my first test was during the cut. Popped for 847 *in* the cut when I took a training layup for 2 weeks but was hammering an hour of cardio everyday and was already down 6lbs of fat. Best personal guess and what I x-reffed with a few LLMs is that the 160g+ sat fat I'm eating a day is just insanely anabolic.
Now that I've cut cardio and out of regular deficit I'm hoping for closer to 1000, I've noticed I've become muskier as of late.

>Attenuation of diabetic kidney injury in DPP4 deficient rats; role of GLP-1 on the suppression of AGE formation by inducing glyoxalase 1
https://www.aging-us.com/article/102643/text
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inactivates incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide-1. DPP4 inhibitors may exert beneficial effects on diabetic nephropathy (DN) independently of glycemic control; however, the mechanisms underlying are not fully understood. Here, we investigated the mechanisms of the beneficial effects of DPP4 inhibition on DN using DPP4-deficient (DPP4-def) rats and rat mesangial cells.
Blood glucose and HbA1c significantly increased by streptozotocin (STZ) and no differences were between WT-STZ and DPP4-def-STZ. The albumin level in urine decreased significantly and the albumin/creatinine ratio decreased slightly in DPP4-def-STZ. The glomerular volume in DPP4-def-STZ significantly decreased compared with that of WT-STZ. Advanced glycation end products formation, receptor for AGE (RAGE) protein expression, and its downstream inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic factors in kidney tissue, were significantly suppressed in the DPP4-def-STZ compared to the WT-STZ with increasing glyoxalase-1 (GLO-1) expression responsible for the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MGO). In vitro, exendin-4 suppressed MGO-induced AGEs production by enhancing the expression of GLO-1 and nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45 subunit-related factor 2, resulting in decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. This effect was abolished by GLO-1 siRNA.
Our data suggest that endogenously increased GLP-1 in DPP4-deficient rats contributes to the attenuation of DN partially by regulating AGEs formation via upregulation of GLO-1 expression.

>From molecular promise to preclinical results: HDAC inhibitors in the race for healthy aging drugs
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6728603/
Reversing or slowing the aging process brings great promise to treat or prevent age‐related disease, and targeting the hallmarks of aging is a strategy to achieve this. Epigenetics affects several if not all of the hallmarks of aging and has therefore emerged as a central target for intervention. One component of epigenetic regulation involves histone deacetylases (HDAC), which include the “classical” histone deacetylases (of class I, II, and IV) and sirtuin deacetylases (of class III). While targeting sirtuins for healthy aging has been extensively reviewed elsewhere, this review focuses on pharmacologically inhibiting the classical HDACs to promote health and longevity. We describe the theories of how classical HDAC inhibitors may operate to increase lifespan, supported by studies in model organisms. Furthermore, we explore potential mechanisms of how HDAC inhibitors may have such a strong grasp on health and longevity, summarizing their links to other hallmarks of aging. Finally, we show the wide range of age‐related preclinical disease models, ranging from neurodegeneration to heart disease, diabetes to sarcopenia, which show improvement upon HDAC inhibition.

>Growth Hormone, Not IGF-1 Is the Key Longevity Regulator in Mammals
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9434454/
Germane to this discussion, GH action is responsible for 70%–90% of circulating IGF-1 (49,50). Hepatic IGF-1 receptor gene deletion resulted in mice of normal body weight, length, and development. However, liver-specific GH receptor gene deletion produced mice with decreased body size, low IGF-1, impaired glucose metabolism, and hepatic steatosis (51). A reduction in IGF-1 signaling does not alter life span at nearly the levels observed in reduced GH signaling mutants (5% vs 40%–70%, respectively). In complete agreement, a metanalysis including 42 survival studies examined reduced somatotropic signaling (GH, IGF-1, insulin receptor substrate [IRS]) and found that mice with mutations that alter GH signaling exhibited greater relative reductions in mortality compared to those with mutations that affected either IGF-1 or IRS (52). This report concluded that reductions in GH signaling “robustly” increase median life span, exhibit low heterogeneity in the life-span response (5.6% vs IGF-1 34.1% and IRS 47.2%), and are not sex- or control strain-dependent (52). In contrast, reductions in IGF-1 signaling preferentially extend life span in females and short-lived strains of mice. Moreover, life span is not increased in transgenic mice expressing a GH antagonist where levels of circulating IGF-1 are decreased, and insulin levels and sensitivity are not altered (53). Overall, this evidence supports our work and others that strongly propose that reduced GH rather than the secondary reduction of IGF-1 provides beneficial effects on aging and is the key to longevity in mammalian systems perhaps through stress resistance, reduced inflammation, and insulin sensitivity.
>>
>>77255518
In humans, these signaling pathways are relevant to biological aging with life-span implications that reveal more intricate relationships. Briefly, it is clear that genes within the somatotropic axis and downstream targets of these pathways influence aging and longevity (54–63). For example, studies of centenarians show that enhanced insulin sensitivity is strongly correlated with longevity and that exceptional longevity is associated with reduced IGF-1 (61,64–67). There are also differences in long-lived families indicating that less GH is secreted and is under tighter regulation (68). However, while neither lifelong GH deficiency nor GH resistance consistently extends human life span, they do result in major protection from diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, and other age-related diseases.

Although IGF-1 is likely the major determinant of life span in invertebrates, it is GH that affects multiple physiological processes that significantly affect longevity in mammals. Keys that factor into the influence of growth hormone on longevity may be the major role it plays metabolically in vertebrate organisms stemming from the wide expression of GH receptors centrally and peripherally and its regulation of circulating IGF-1 levels among others. In addition, growth hormone’s influence on aging trajectories and longevity is not limited to early- or late-life actions

As one of the few posters ITT on more supps than Smaev; some of the meme supplements really work and do stuff confirmed by MANY clinical trials, it's just that a lot of normie brands are overpriced. Yes, some of them you can forego if you eat specific kinds of foods, but only the ESSENTIAL ones generally.

Enclomiphene cancels out anti-estrogenic effects of exemestane in some tissues, so it increases SHBG and lowers IGF-1, unlike exemestane which actually lowers SHBG. Otherwise, exemestane will prevent conversion of raised testosterone to estrogen, so i predict some synergy.

Was researching lithium for GSK3β inhibiton and found those epic studies suggesting we should absolutely megadose it...

>Long-term lithium treatment in bipolar disorder is associated with longer leukocyte telomeres
https://www.nature.com/articles/tp201337
Lithium-treated BD patients overall, as well as those on lithium monotherapy, had 35% longer telomeres compared with controls (P<0.0005, partial η2=0.13). TL correlated positively with lithium treatment duration of >30 months (P=0.031, R2=0.13) and was negatively associated with increasing number of depressive episodes. BD patients responding well to lithium treatment had longer telomeres than those not responding well. This is the first study to report a positive effect of long-term lithium treatment on TL.

>The polygenic nature of telomere length and the anti-ageing properties of lithium
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6372618/
Next, we confirmed that chronic lifetime lithium use is associated with longer telomere length in an independent sample of 384 BD patients, and in an expanded sample. This supports epidemiological data which has shown that lithium in our water supply has beneficial effects on health and longevity and suggests that lithium’s effect on telomere length may be one mechanism by which it confers its anti-ageing properties. To corroborate this theory, we tested whether lithium affects the expression of genes responsible for telomere length maintenance (identified from our gene-enrichment analyses) in a relevant model system that recapitulates the drug’s anti-ageing effects. We found that 3 out of the 13 genes identified from the gene-enrichment analysis had an assayed ortholog in a C. elegans model of lithium-induced extended longevity, where we found that lithium had an effect on all three genes. This subsequently supports the notion that genes responsible for normal telomere length regulation may play a role in mediating lithium’s anti-ageing mode of action.

Btw, what do you think of the theory that cancer is primarily driven by mitochondrial dysfunction, and not by genetic mutations?
Here's an overview of the theory:
>Dr. Thomas Seyfried: Cancer as a Mitochondrial Metabolic Disease
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KusaU2taxow

Found this study recently that showed positive correlation between telomere length and cancer risk, which would be strange if cancer is actually driven by mutations, since long telomeres prevent them.
>Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases, A Mendelian Randomization Study
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2604820
In this report, we show that genetically increased telomere length is associated with increased risk of several cancers and with reduced risk of some non-neoplastic diseases. Given the random distribution of genotypes in the general population with respect to lifestyle and other environmental factors, as well as the fixed nature of germline genotypes, these results should be less susceptible to confounding and reverse causation than those generated by observational studies. Our results could, however, reflect violations of Mendelian randomization assumptions, such as confounding by pleiotropy, population stratification, or ancestry.98 Although we cannot entirely rule out this possibility, the majority of our results persisted in sensitivity analyses that made allowance for violations of Mendelian randomization assumptions. Confounding by population stratification or ancestry is also unlikely, given the adjustments made for ancestry in the original disease GWASs (see eAppendix 1 in Supplement 1). Our results are therefore compatible with causality.

Opinion on everolimus? Is it just better rapamycin that can actually be used for anti-aging?
Also, is it reasonable to combine rapalogs with antivirals like valaciclovir?

>Alternative rapamycin treatment regimens mitigate the impact of rapamycin on glucose homeostasis and the immune system
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4717280/
Here, we identified an intermittent rapamycin dosing schedule with minimal effects on glucose tolerance, and we find that this schedule has a reduced impact on pyruvate tolerance, fasting glucose and insulin levels, beta cell function, and the immune system compared to daily rapamycin treatment. Further, we find that the FDA‐approved rapamycin analogs everolimus and temsirolimus efficiently inhibit mTORC1 while having a reduced impact on glucose and pyruvate tolerance. Our results suggest that many of the negative side effects of rapamycin treatment can be mitigated through intermittent dosing or the use of rapamycin analogs.

>Reinventing Amlodipine
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022356526010992
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, and pharmacological treatments have limited mechanistic specificity. Most non-stimulants target noradrenergic tone but show modest efficacy. L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) modulate neuronal excitability, catecholaminergic transmission, cortical plasticity, and neuroinflammation, processes central to ADHD pathophysiology. This review evaluates the evidence for repurposing the LTCC blocker amlodipine as a novel ADHD therapeutic. We propose a mechanistic framework where amlodipine acts within attention/arousal circuits to stabilize dopaminergic and noradrenergic tone, restore D2-autoreceptor feedback, enhance plasticity, and reduce neuroinflammation. This systems-level model provides explanatory links between drug action and ADHD pathophysiology, highlighting therapeutic avenues not addressed by current treatments. Contrary to historical assumptions, recent evidence confirms that amlodipine penetrates the blood-brain barrier. Convergent preclinical findings show phenotype rescue in zebrafish and rat models of ADHD, accompanied by normalization of ADHD-relevant metabolic pathways. Complementary biobank analyses suggest reduced traits associated with ADHD among genetically at-risk individuals taking amlodipine. Given enantiomeric pharmacology, S-amlodipine, with higher LTCC affinity and fewer off-target liabilities than R-amlodipine, emerges as a preferred candidate. Together, these findings warrant a reappraisal of LTCC modulation in ADHD. By providing mechanistic explanations of how amlodipine engages ADHD-relevant circuits, this review clarifies its therapeutic potential and reshapes our understanding of the drug itself, with implications for repurposing, enantiomer-specific development, and broader clinical translation.

Agree, but i don't think it's even possible to reduce estrogen to pathologic levels unless you suppress your HPTA with non-aromatazible steroids or are hypogonadal and have low sex hormone production to begin with. In studies i seen in healthy men, aromatase inhibition quickly reaches saturation - like in this study >>77249138 where there was no difference in estrogen suppression (which was 30-40%) between 25mg and 50mg of exemestane.
So it's actually pretty healthy to take aromatase inhibitors - for more testosterone, less thymic involution and neuroprotection.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35221673/
Tadalafil is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4, and CCBs such as amlodipine, diltiazem, and verapamil are
known to be a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor.8,9 These facts could explain why the Cmax,ss and AUCτ,ss of tadalafil were
remarkably increased in the group of tadalafil plus amlodipine in the present study. Although the plasma level of tadalafil
concentration in co-administration treatment was greater than monotherapy treatment, and the frequency of AEs such as
a remarked decrease in blood pressure was not significantly different. Sildenafil, other PDE-5 inhibitor, and antihypertensive dihydropyridines such as amlodipine were metabolized by CYP3A4. However, administration of sildenafil and
amlodipine did not exhibit a synergistic blood pressure-lowering action.

>Doxycycline, Azithromycin and Vitamin C (DAV): A potent combination therapy for targeting mitochondria and eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs)
https://www.aging-us.com/article/101905/text
Here, we devised a new strategy for eradicating cancer stem cells (CSCs), via a “synthetic-metabolic” approach, involving two FDA-approved antibiotics and a dietary vitamin supplement. This approach was designed to induce a “rho-zero-like” phenotype in cancer cells. This strategy effectively results in the synergistic eradication of CSCs, using vanishingly small quantities of two antibiotics. The 2 metabolic targets are i) the large mitochondrial ribosome and ii) the small mitochondrial ribosome. Azithromycin inhibits the large mitochondrial ribosome as an off-target side-effect. In addition, Doxycycline inhibits the small mitochondrial ribosome as an off-target side-effect. Vitamin C acts as a mild pro-oxidant, which can produce free radicals and, as a consequence, induces mitochondrial biogenesis. Remarkably, treatment with a combination of Doxycycline (1 μM), Azithromycin (1 μM) plus Vitamin C (250 μM) very potently inhibited CSC propagation by >90%, using the MCF7 ER(+) breast cancer cell line as a model system. The strong inhibitory effects of this DAV triple combination therapy on mitochondrial oxygen consumption and ATP production were directly validated using metabolic flux analysis. Therefore, the induction of mitochondrial biogenesis due to mild oxidative stress, coupled with inhibition of mitochondrial protein translation, may be a new promising therapeutic anti-cancer strategy. Consistent with these assertions, Vitamin C is known to be highly concentrated within mitochondria, by a specific transporter, namely SVCT2, in a sodium-coupled manner. Also, the concentrations of antibiotics used here represent sub-antimicrobial levels of Doxycycline and Azithromycin, thereby avoiding the potential problems associated with antibiotic resistance.

Aging: Improving health-span and life-span
We believe that the DAV triple combination therapy that we describe here may also have implications for improving health-span and life-span, as aging is one of the most significant risk factors for the development of many human cancer types [19,20]. Moreover, we have previously demonstrated that Azithromycin, by itself, is an FDA-approved drug, with remarkable senolytic activity, that targets and removes senescent fibroblasts, such as myo-fibrobasts, with great efficiency approaching nearly 97% [21]. The accumulation of pro-inflammatory senescent cells is thought to be the primary cause of many aging-associated diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, dementia and cancer, to name only a few [21]. Since cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are senescent myo-fibroblasts, with tumor promoting activity, this triple combination approach with Azithromycin may also effectively target the glycolytic tumor stroma of aggressive and metastatic cancers, especially those bearing the metabolic hallmarks of the “Reverse Warburg Effect” [22–28].

Maybe once since I need a new doctor anyways otherwise this is all rather mild stuff, should be fine on the MK doing it week days only.
Also poly-cell is fucking awesome, no alcohol burn or weird taste, other providers need to copy this shit asap

>Sitagliptin elevates plasma and CSF incretin levels following oral administration to nonhuman primates: relevance for neurodegenerative disorders
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11357-024-01120-4
The endogenous incretins glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) possess neurotrophic, neuroprotective, and anti-neuroinflammatory actions. The dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor sitagliptin reduces degradation of endogenous GLP-1 and GIP, and, thereby, extends the circulation of these protective peptides. The current nonhuman primate (NHP) study evaluates whether human translational sitagliptin doses can elevate systemic and central nervous system (CNS) levels of GLP-1/GIP in naive, non-lesioned NHPs, in line with our prior rodent studies that demonstrated sitagliptin efficacy in preclinical models of Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder whose current treatment is inadequate. Repositioning of the well-tolerated and efficacious diabetes drug sitagliptin provides a rapid approach to add to the therapeutic armamentarium for PD. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 3 oral sitagliptin doses (5, 20, and 100 mg/kg), equivalent to the routine clinical dose, a tolerated higher clinical dose and a maximal dose in monkey, were evaluated. Peak plasma sitagliptin levels were aligned both with prior reports in humans administered equivalent doses and with those in rodents demonstrating reduction of PD associated neurodegeneration. Although CNS uptake of sitagliptin was low (cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/plasma ratio 0.01), both plasma and CSF concentrations of GLP-1/GIP were elevated in line with efficacy in prior rodent PD studies. ... In conclusion, this study provides a supportive translational step towards the clinical evaluation of sitagliptin in PD and other neurodegenerative disorders for which aging, similarly, is the greatest risk factor.

he measured his actual blood growth hormone.

GH is pulsatile, it should be near 0 most of the day and then spike massively every 3 hours or so. You can't get any meaningful information just measuring a random GH blood draw

>Body-wide multi-omic counteraction of aging with GLP-1R agonism
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41265449/
Identifying practical ways to counteract aging and associated degenerative disorders is urgently needed. We performed deep molecular profiling and functional assessments in aging male mice to show that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) treatment broadly counteracts age-related changes. In mice treated with a GLP-1RA from 11 months for 30 weeks, we observed strong body-wide multi-omic age-counteracting effects and improved selected physical functions. Importantly, the effects were specific to aged mice, not young adults, and were attained with a relatively low dose that minimally affected food intake or body weight. With GLP-1RA treatment beginning at 18 months for 13 weeks, the molecular age-counteracting effects were even stronger and largely dependent on hypothalamic GLP-1R, pointing to a brain-body axis of aging modulation. Comparison with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibition, a proven anti-aging strategy, revealed strong multi-omic similarities. Our findings have broad implications for the mechanisms behind GLP-1RAs' pleiotropic benefits, guiding clinical trials, and informing development of anti-aging-based therapeutics.

Anti-aging properties of GLP-1 are a scam. Research on incretin-elevating drugs showed no extension of lifespan in healthy organisms.

Example:
>DPP-4 inhibition with linagliptin ameliorates the progression of premature aging in klotho−/− mice
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5709858/
The major findings of our present study were that linagliptin significantly ameliorated the progression of premature aging phenotypes, as shown by the amelioration of cognitive impairment, alopecia, body weight gain–loss, and hypoglycemia. Furthermore, there was a trend for linagliptin to prolong survival of klotho−/− mice. These effects of linagliptin in klotho−/− mice were not observed in control wild-type mice, thereby showing that these beneficial effects of linagliptin were specific for klotho−/− mice.

>I'm generally skeptical of the FDA-approved rapalogs' safety in healthy people, especially after picrel's experience.
I decided to investigate situation just a bit, and it seems it's more complicated than that. First of all, he decided to megadose it for some reason. Rapamycin is more selective for mTORC1 then mTORC2 at lower doses, and it has long half-life, so it accumulates.

Then there's this video, critiquing his decision to stop rapamycin based on research (study link - https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.22.619522v1.full.pdf) showing it accelerates epigenetic clocks.

Video author argues it was a mistake, since other longevity intervention, similarly to rapamycin, haven't showed positive influence on epigenetic clock. Then there's this comments from primary investigator in the study regarding interpretation of the research:

Have you used MK-677 before to compare?
>>
>>77259493
Yes I forgot to type that part. The ravenous feeling of 677 didn't start until a few days later for me on that, so I'll give this a few days as well. So far I don't think it's even close as my morning coffee was more than enough to make the feeling "disappear" (not quite an accurate word since the feeling is still there). For me MK-677 had a genuine empty stomach feeling, so far 777 does not have that. It's like my body can tell it's just the receptors being activated

The study utilized the United States Collaborative Network, which includes data from over 50 million men within the TriNetX global database. For the study, researchers evaluated more than 500,000 men aged 40 or older diagnosed with erectile dysfunction between February 2004 and February 2021. Outcomes in men prescribed tadalafil or sildenafil were compared to those diagnosed with erectile dysfunction who did not receive the medications. Key findings include:
>Mortality: 34% reduction with tadalafil, 24% with sildenafil
>Heart Attack: 27% reduction with tadalafil, 17% with sildenafil
>Stroke: 34% reduction with tadalafil, 22% with sildenafil
>Venous Thromboembolism: 21% reduction with tadalafil, 20% with sildenafil
>Dementia: 32% reduction with tadalafil, 25% with sildenafil

There is no evidence it's a mutagen, but it could "turbo-charge" an existing cancer; doing some medically unnecessary cancer screening and chemoprophylaxis stacking is probably the smartest, but I ran MK-677 fora few months with just metformin as an adjuvant over a decade ago, and didn't ACK of some rare sarcoma or anything.

Picrel is one of the most interesting quasi-recent discoveries. Lot of research on both of picrel compounds recently, especially Paeoniflorin in oncology, but warning it's an anti-androgen aromatase inducer.
