proprietà e similitudini coleus e resveratrolo

[greatescape]

ultimamente ero interessato a provare il coleus per le sue proprieta poi cercando meglio ho visto che proprieta simili le aveva il resveratrolo

Forskolin:

Forskolin is a labdane diterpene that is produced by the Indian Coleus plant (Plectranthus barbatus). Forskolin has a favorable effect on enhancing serum testosterone levels through it?s potential influence on cAMP. Because LH exerts its effects on Leydig cells of the testicles (stimulating production of testosterone) through cAMP, an increase in testosterone levels using this compound is exhibited as well(43,44) In fact Forskolin is commonly used in studies to stimulate testosterone production from Leydig cells (45,46). Apart from this Forskolin exhibits a beneficial effect on reducing fat levels while increasing lean muscle mass. As a matter of fact, in a human study the Forskolin treated group increased mean free testosterone levels by up to 40%(47)
Resveratrol:


Resveratrol (3,5,4?-trihydroxystilbene) is a phytoalexin mainly found in red wine. Up to date it has found many uses due to its many benefits to human health. Such positive effects include strong antioxidant activity, antilipidemic, cardioprotective, antiproliferative, antitumor and antiatheroscleretic effects (26,27,28). One great property of this wonderful compound, which has never been put to use up until now is its ability to enhance male potency, sexual health, and strength (when administered in high enough amounts). In a study performed on rats, administration of resveratrol for 90 days did not change testicular weight or cause any abnormalities; however it reduced the diameter and increased length of seminiferous tubes, resulting in double tubular density. The resveratrol treated group also experienced a 76% increase in sperm count, a 10% reduction in the occurrence of sperm abnormalities, an 80% increase in serum LH (the hormone that stimulates testosterone release) and FSH (the hormone that stimulates spermatogenesis), and most importantly a 280% increase in plasma testosterone with no observable side effects. Overall resveratrol was able to not only increase testosterone, but also improve testicular health and sperm quality. The suggested mechanisms of action are it's antiestrogenic effects, as resveratrol is an aromatase inhibitor and also has the capability to antagonistically bind to estrogen receptors. It also has strong antioxidant activities which can counter oxidant stress in the seminiferous tubules, thus protecting the testicle cells (29). Further human studies also confirm that resveratrol can inhibit testosterone metabolism in the liver (30,31), thus sparing it from it?s conversion to estrogen. Another beneficial action it has is anti-aromatase action both on enzyme and m-RNA levels (32).

da questi studi sembrerebbe che tutti e due abbiano proprieta simili con una marcia in piu per il resveratrolo ...
