Sweet teeth run the risk of cancer and sterility
The use of large quantities of fructose and glucose influences the genes regulating level of active testosterone and an estrogen in an organism of the person, has shown the new research.
Fructose and glucose are processed by liver. When dietary intake contains too much sugar, liver transforms it into lipids. Scientists have found out that large quantity of lipids reduces secretion of albumen SHBG (the globulin connecting sex hormones). Globulin plays the major role, supervising the quantity of testosterone and estrogen in blood, informs ScienceDaily.
If the organism starts to produce smaller quantity of SHBG, the content of sex hormones sharply increases that entails pustule, sterility, polycystic ovary and uterine carcinoma. Change of a level of SHBG’s level also leads to imbalance of testosterone and estrogen that provokes development of cardiovascular diseases.
As a rule, doctors measure SHBG content in blood to reveal hormonal disorders. Besides it helps to determine risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
