I use a collection of weight-training enhancements such as creatine,
androstene, and HMB for the personal choice to build muscle,
not necessarily for my HIV. These androstene and androstane
hormones, designed to restore the biological activity of cellular
signaling pathways disrupted by disease and aging, have been
demonstrated in humans to possess several properties with potential
therapeutic benefit -- they regulate innate and adaptive immunity,
reduce nonproductive inflammation and stimulate cell proliferation. In that previous study, treated animals had nearly double the
frequency of regulatory T cells in their spleens at the end of the
50-day study, suggesting that treatment with androstene hormones such as
HE3286 can modulate the function and frequency of regulatory T cells in
animals. |
