Giving up and Adrenal Andropause and Aging

Writing even the half-arsed summaries takes too long, so I'm giving up on those.  From now on, it will be most likely down to an interestingness score, tags and a one line summary, mainly for me to keep track of them.  Also, no more abstract cut-n-pasting, since it probably is not as legit as I thought it was before.


So, Adrenal Andropause and Aging, by Samuel SC Yen,  in the Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine, Volume 3, Issue 3, 2000.

Interestingness: 2

Nice review on cortisol changes with aging and DHEA/DHEA-S changes with aging, and how they diverge, cortisol going up and DHEA-S going down, post adrenopause (30s), even though they are both produced by the adrenal glands. Mentions possible link to immune system (DHEA-S inversely correlated to IL-6)
