Reasons Behind The Symptoms! PART TWO!! :)

Hey brothers and sisters, it is time for another souvenir! Are u guys excited?

From the previous post;


We mentioned that when cortisol levels increases, it causes weight gain as it can cause overeating, increase in visceral fat storage and increase in appetite.



So why does high levels of cortisol cause Osteoporosis and sex hormone changes?




1. Osteoporosis

Studies have proved that high levels of cortisol can accelerate the loss of cartilage,bone and muscle tissues. Not only that, studies have also found out that cortisol can decrease the level of connective-tissue growth factors and inhibit the activity of bone-building cells (osteoblasts), muscle-building cells (satellite cells), and cartilage-building cells.

2. Sex Hormone Changes

Sex hormones are produced in adrenal gland thus when excess cortisol production occurs, the optimal production of sex hormones can be affected.

Yawn!!! We so tired! Maybe we will continue another day! Bye and see you guys very soon! :)
