yin yang huo and testosterone

[Guest guest]

This is from the pharmacology section of the updated database I have been

working on for our CD-ROM (original references: Chinese Materia Medica, by

You-Ping Zhu; Chinese Medical Herbology and Pharmacology, Chen and Chen):

 

-------- from entry on Yin Yang Huo:

Stimulates reproductive system: the herb increases sperm production and

increases libido;

it increase the weight of prostate and seminal vesicles; it increases

urinary excretion of

17-ketosteroids, although excretion of 17-hydroxycorticosteroids remains

unaffected. Other

studies show that the herb increases secretion of corticosterone, cortisol,

and testosterone.

From our previous discussion of XXY chromosome defect , which effects the

sertoli cells ability to generate sperm causing sterlity. Curious if the yin

yang huo is effecting the adrenals which produce a small amount of T or is it

effecting the sertoli cells. Still a fundamental question is How fixed are the

genes? Are the herbs effecting the genes?

 

I wonder if our genetic view is similiar to a classical physics view of

molecules being interacted on by other molecules, which suddenly was profoundly

changed by the introduction of quatum physics.
