Abstract

Aging is associated with a decrease in GH levels and this is paralleled by changes in body composition, i.e., increased visceral fat, and decreased lean body mass and bone mineral density. Similar changes in body composition are seen in the state of hypercortisolism. Increasing age has been shown to be associated with elevated evening cortisol levels in men. An increased exposure of several tissues to glucocorticoids with aging, i.e., visceral fat cells, in combination with the reduction of the lipolytic effects of declining GH levels, may contribute to the age-dependent increase of visceral fat accumulation. We hypothesize that the age-dependent changes in body fat are the result of an age-dependent decrease of the GH/cortisol ratio at the level of the adipocyte. This is caused by the decline in GH concentrations and the increase in cortisol levels and/or metabolism at the adipocyte.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
