citronela

Hello everybody,

I have found today an interesting article when I was reading the BBC news site. You can find this article here http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3058451.stm .

This article talks about research what recently has been done at the University of Birmingham. They have found that some women with pco have a problem with cortisol, who helps to deal the body with stressful situations. Their body cannot process cortisol properly which causes higher levels of testosterone to be produced.
These women can be given similar hormones which perform the same role as cortisol, but which te body would be able to process - preventing the dangerous build-up of testosteron

They say those women can be given similar hormones which perform the same role, but which the body would be able to process - preventing the dangerous build-up of testosterone.

bye everybody
