        Rosmarinic acid.

        There's a recurring relation of most anabolic substances being really immunoinhibitive since estrogen receptors are essential also in necessary inflammatory responses and the androgen signallings are quite contrary to that.
        I.e. at some basic metabolic level it's mutually exclusive to be high androgen and to be sick.
        I'd need to take a very, very specific look at rosmarinic acid because the carnosic acid as a diterpene in rosemary and sage reportedly locks as an antagonist into the VDR. And with a rather high affinity of Ki=54 nM. Thymoquinon from Nigella sativa (black cumin) is messy about that, too.

            @cs3000 what do you think about a catalase supplement ?

            Given that selegiline, ergothioneine and other successful anti-aging substance all leverage the antioxidant pathway, it seems like something worth trying.
            Plus over expression of catalase to mitochondria lead to a 20% increase in life span in mice.

            The supplements are very cheap. The only issue I see is that of absorption. Would there be a systemic effect , penetrating into the cells and mitochondria?
            If that wasn't the case there wouldn't be douzens of success stories of people reversing grey hair with it , since h2o2 is produced inside the cells and mitochondria .

            Dare to think.

              @Mauritio was looking to get one a while back maybe didnt find a decent supp, in pigs it works at 2g per kg of diet at least locally in the intestines, probably less
              maybe its better mixed into food like the pig studies because of the higher ph making it more stable?
              getting it up intracellularly should react with h2o2 creating more oxygen to drive mito respiration if theres an excess, but

              this one using catalase injected i.v raised lung catalase, they think it was indirect effect 10.1152/jappl.1992.72.3.858
              (they increased it 70x in blood lol, relatively milder increase in lungs so i guess most of it gets used up before hitting cells, unless its intestinal cells which get it direct. with indirect increases elsewhere
              normal catalase didnt work in the brain https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4577289/#F004

              theres a unique way to do it with lower dose by conjugating catalase with polyethylene glycol and putting it in the nose .
              but idk if it does that spontaneously mixed together, looks like a lab process,
              increased catalase activity >2x in lung fluid
              https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-60443-2#Sec6

              Interestingly though feeding chickens catalase increased catalase in liver well along with the intestine, and some in blood

              Something in one of the pig studies fed 660mg or 280 U per kg diet, their calcium in blood went up a lot, https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/7/828
              and catalase should help prevent calcification induced by h2o2
              3552c009-7842-4045-9cad-dfbc12966d41-image.png

              https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/10799893.2012.672994#d1e959 through excess ROS signalling and TRPV https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7599480/#sec4-antioxidants-09-00963

              Seems its helping to prevent calcium go into cells which should be good for calcification issues / excitotoxity

              , ordered some
              the units are confusing though, pig / chicken studies theyre using units in the 100s for high mg or gram amounts

              and this is insightful, https://www.jbc.org/article/S0021-9258(20)35618-0/fulltext even enzymatically inactive catalase can protect against oxidative stress well (hypochlorus acid which is one the most damaging molecules , reacts with it. produced by neutrophils)

                  This study shows that catalase and rapaymcin have an overlap in function.
                  Very interesting so low catalase might cause mTOR activation, reversed by rapa, an antioxidant or presumably catalase supplementation .
                  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36474295/

                  That's remarkable! I'm not sure what the HED is but if I'm right it's pretty low I think a few thousand units and most supplements have several 10k per pill.
                  Also: the trippling of catalase in organs might have drastic effects on health and longevity ,since those values are in line with that selegiline or ergothioneine achieve.

                  Check out this post: ergothioneine increased catalase by about 2.5 fold.
                  https://bioenergetic.forum/post/17948
                  So it's actually less effective at raising CAT than catalase supplementation in chickens , yet it still increases life span by 20% .

                  Dare to think.

                    @mauritio 1 more piece this backs the calcification part i was talking about, catalase gives a potent anti-calcification effect in vivo

                    https://scielo.isciii.es/scielo.php?pid=S1889-836X2017000100013&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en

                    Wild type vs TG with catalase overexpressed (CRF = renal failure)
                    75128d30-6608-4f3c-8cf3-7185fc47ebef-image.png
                    ** profound protection from calcification, 562ug/mg calcium in kidney without the extra catalase and with the catalase just 20ug

                    @mauritio so rapamycin acts down a few steps & we can get more direct through catalase , cool (but not as broadly increasing as rapamycin across cells taken directly). 1 thing i dont like about rapamycin is it induces anxiety or depression in the models after a while (too low neurogenesis maybe?), but the catalase gets to the core by the looks of it then

                      dose is confusing why are they showing extreme amounts of units vs the studies at 500mg - 1g catalase as 100s of U?
                      ,

                      maybe 2kg of food for the pig one i read they eat same calories as humans,
                      before with rat ones its worked out a few times as a human eating 1kg of food the same tho

                      ergothionine raised it better in the blood but maybe with catalase longer than 30d it increases more, the mda lowering is similar functionally. tho ergothionine might give a broader effect & in the brain with catalase giving indrect effect in some places

                      this pig one showed it raised catalase measured in the small intestine mucosa like +40% by 35 days, but the functional effect it halved the mda like the ergothionene showed too https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/8/3/391

                        ah yeah the broiler one says 5000U per g catalase https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/veterinary-science/articles/10.3389/fvets.2022.802051/full

                        gonna look with a fresher head but seems extremely low amounts used?

                        this one puts 660mg per kg diet with 280U/g catalase https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/7/828

                        So target by the feeding studies is say 150u - 500u , but absolute weight probably counts some too without enzyme activity. which would be ~50mg by the broiler one going for a minimum by that. but 50mg can be very variable in enzyme activity depending on its extraction....

                        ~600mg of food grade catalase looks safe enough in 90 day window even at very high activity units, but 6g pushing it https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9943928/

                        But the studies all used very low units < 1000 daily heq, so might be worse effects going to those extremes

                        Gonna try 50mg split into meals , unless its a low unit one.
                        I should be a prime candidate for testing this

                          (they didnt find much correlation between the increase and the polyphenols / flavanols, just slight positive effect from naringin and hesperedin, so probably eating the catalase is a good part of health effects of eating certain fruits)

                              @Mauritio @cs3000 from my recent reading:
                              Treatment of intestinal cells with βHB or feeding mice with a ketogenic diet inhibits mTOR signaling in intestinal cells.

                              Butyrate stimulates catalase (no supraphysiological increase but rather recovery almost back to normal), SOD, PGF-1alpha, GPR109A. Lowers malondialdehyde, IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, leucotriene B4

                                  @CrumblingCookie great healing effect of butyrate on the gastric ulcer thanks, especially the leukotrine and growth factor,
                                  theres microencapsulated form coated with triglyceride / stearic acid available so it doesnt get absorbed by the stomach mucosa for effects lower down. should be able to smell if its legit crushing some
                                  theres another form coated with ethyl cellulose instead of triglyceride, looks more suitable if someone wanted to target large intestine more

                                  BUT: for small intestine , ileum looks vulnerable to increased butyrate https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11641654/#sec2-ijms-25-12998 so the forms that release there might be a problem over time . using standard sodium butyrate or butyric acid dissolved in water might be better
                                  (also the coated sodium forms = sodium cant separate and dilute in liquid in stomach, direct undiluted sodium release if damage there probably not good)

                                    @cs3000 What about this?

                                    Bacterial endotoxin increases serotonin release from the intestine, and increases its synthesis in the brain (Nolan, et al., 2000) and liver (Endo, 1983). It also stimulates its release from platelets, and reduces the lungs’ ability to destroy it. The formation of serotonin in the intestine is also stimulated by the lactate, propionate and butyrate that are formed by bacteria fermenting fiber and starch, but these bacteria also produce endotoxin. The inflammation-producing effects of lactate, serotonin, and endotoxin are overlapping, additive, and sometimes synergistic, along with histamine, nitric oxide, bradykinin, and the cytokines.

                                      @Kvirion i dont think much concern , its anti inflammatory & as calcium magnesium butyrate form it lowered excessive bowel movements. (only 160mg calcium in a supp i saw so probably not the calcium too)
                                      didnt raise whole brain serotonin (when looking at result) 10.1016/j.neulet.2016.03.003

                                      Probably best not to use it in gram amounts as the salts continually tho. i saw it rasies glp-1 (ozempic is agonist, tho this is probably not as extreme). just temporary month or so for healing effect

                                        That Inulin / FOS -> butyrate -> serotonin = bad and pectin -> acetate = good is what I had saved in my notes previously, too, based on an article by haidut.
                                        It's not true in practice! The butyrate provides a net decrease in endotoxins and serotonin. At effective dosages, butyrate reverses stimulation to inhibition of tryptophan hydroxylase:

                                        • "Nankova et al. (2014) showed that butyrate (1 mM) activates transcription of the TH gene in PC12 cells. Laurent et al. (2013) showed that sodium butyrate (10 mM) increases the dopamine level in the brain."
                                        • "However, higher levels of sodium butyrate (8 mM and 16 mM) tend to supress the transcription of TPH1. "
                                          "Kundi et al. (2021) showed in line with the previous study, that mice fed a western diet have significantly increased ileal TPH1 mRNA-expression, while intake of rye and oat fibres reduce the expression.
                                          They showed, moreover, that a western diet significantly reduces the concentration of SCFA,
                                          while the concentration is restored by intake of rye or oat fibres.
                                          An increased expression of TPH1 was inversely associated with the SCFA concentration."

                                        If using capsule-size amounts of Ca- or Mg-butyrate there'll also be a benefit of these cations at low doses binding oxalic acid and preventing it from uptake.

                                        Glad that you have read about butyrate's healing of gastric ulcers. I find it pretty wild that it's as effective as the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on healing ulcers (without the nasty adverse effects of PPIs):

                                        • "SoB treatment significantly attenuated ulcer development. The afforded protection was higher than that provided by UDCA and was not significantly different from that afforded by omeprazole. SoB significantly decreased gastric mucosal MDA and TNF-a level, whereas UDCA failed to alter these parameters. Both drugs significantly elevated GSH, VEGF and IL10 levels. Similar to UDCA, SoB showed a significant reduction in AST, ALT, GGT, ALP and bilirubin level. Histopathological examination confirmed the attenuating effect of SoB on gastric and hepatic injury."

                                        I reckon there's either also a strong impact through HDACi and ISC (intestinal stem cell) renewal also in the stomach mucosa (locally, topically) or it's an astonishing testament to how interconnected the whole system is: With decreased endotoxins and inflammation in the intestine relieving the liver and the pancreas, leading to their functions being restimulated, which in turn also stimulates healing "upstream" and through re-enhanced gastric secretions as the counterpart to pancreatic & biliary secretions.

                                          @CrumblingCookie & it has even more relevant healing effects for chronic type , omeprazole didnt have any effect for me, but not a gastric one,

                                          looks good for inflammatory conditions generally , arthritis too ,

                                          that HDAC inhibition happens at low dose well even ~100mg as the salt orally

                                          something interesting,
                                          when thyroid receptors aren't bound by the hormone / agonist they block DNA transcription. using HDAC. HDAC inhibition is 1 way to help the people who have receptor mutation / resistance, (sort of)

                                          So basically people can get some of the gene effects from T3 activation if its lacking, without the t3 , by hdac inhibition . not full effects but some

                                            @Kvirion If you look at the whole picture I think butyrate is fantastic and definitely a net positive.

                                            I made thread about it a few years ago:
                                            https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/sodium-butyrate-leads-to-weight-loss-and-less-inflammation-endotoxin.47498/

                                            Butyrate increases CO2 in 3 different ways!(Uncoupling, carbonic anhydrase inhibition, as fuel for colonic cells)

                                            It increases testosterone and lowers glutamate, ammonia and endotoxin .

                                            Something that has these credentials, especially the endotoxin part, doesn't tend to increase serotonin.
                                            I wrote about it in this post as there were people taking in-vitro high dosage studies out of context.

                                            Post in thread 'Sodium Butyrate leads to weight loss and less inflammation/endotoxin' https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/sodium-butyrate-leads-to-weight-loss-and-less-inflammation-endotoxin.47498/post-840441

                                            In vitro studies with butyrate matter even
                                            less than they usually do, since they don't take into account that colonic cells use butyrate as a main fuel,changing the whole gut environment.

                                            Because you're quoting Peat, I want to mention that he has some rather favorable quotes on butyrate:

                                            Dare to think.
