A separate 2013 review in the peer-reviewed journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research synthesizing how alcohol consistently reduces slow-wave sleep duration and disrupts the nighttime endocrine pulse pattern reaches the same conclusion across multiple study populations
Androgen signaling as evidenced in castration therapy studies, manipulates this immunosuppressive network by inhibiting arginine metabolism via two synergistic pathways: 1) Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (e.g., CD11b + cells) overexpressing ARG1 deplete extracellular L-arginine, crippling T-cell function through CD3 chain downregulation, impaired antigen recognition, and dual activation of the GCN2-eIF2 stress pathway with concurrent mTOR suppression (185187)
The dosing ramps up across the first cycle: Days 1 through 15: 4 units (1 mg/day) Days 16 through 30: 8 units (2 mg/day) After 30 days, patients take 30 days off before starting the next cycle
These and other agents work together to increase oxidative stress in our bodies, creating highly reactive molecules called free radicals that can cause severe damage to our cells
