DHEA May Have A Significant
Impact On Lean Body Mass
In one study conducted by D.
Jakubowicz and colleagues, 22 men took 300 mg of DHEA nightly
for 30 days. They observed an average 27% fall in insulin
levels. They also found an 89% increase in IGF-1 (a powerful
hormone with multi-faceted effects, most notable its growth
hormone-like effects on body composition), a 14% decrease in
body fat, and a 7.8% increase in lean body mass.
DHEA May
Block Cortisol’s Catabolic (Breakdown) Effects On Muscle
Tissue
Other discussions at the DHEA conference centered on the
Cortisol - DHEA relationship. Cortisol is a catabolic (tissue
breakdown) inducing stress hormone. Exercise has been shown to
significantly raise serum cortisol levels. These exercise-
induced, elevated cortisol levels may contribute profoundly to
catabolic effects on muscle tissue. DHEA has been shown to block
some acute effects of stress induced cortisol release.
Pure
Pharmaceutical DHEA - Not Mexican Wild Yam
Because Mexican Wild
Yam contains precursors to DHEA, many unscrupulous companies are
trying to masquerade this herb for the real thing. Mexican Wild
Yam does not contain any DHEA. Mexican Wild Yam has not been
shown in any studies to have the positive effects that real DHEA
has. AST Sports Science uses only pharmaceutical quality DHEA.
DHEA May Have A Profound Influence On Positive Body Composition
Alteration Favoring Lean Muscle Tissue Accrual
Yet another
study revealed that high dose DHEA supplementation decreased
body fat levels by 31% while maintaining the same overall body
weight in just 28 days. This indicates a significant increase in
lean body mass at the expense of body fat. This study shows DHEA
may have a profound ability to significantly alter body
composition to favor lean mass accrual.
DHEA May Cause
Healthier - Leaner Eating Habits
Another study showed DHEA had
an interesting effect on the choice of foods consumed. A
controlled animal study showed those administered with DHEA,
when given a choice, chose lean protein and carbohydrate foods
as opposed to foods comprised of high fat.
