The Epigenetics of Drug Development and Cholesterol Levels
Isn’t the diet-responsive and presumably exercise- and pheromone-responsive hypothalamic neurogenic niche most likely to be involved in the cause and effect regulation of HDL via nutrient chemical-dependent epigenetic effects on gonadotropin releasing hormone?
Bee research, human sweet perception, human pheromones, and metabolic disorders
A diet-reponsive neurogenic niche links nutrient chemical intake to receptor-mediated brain development in mammals. Glucose regulates the hormone secreting nerve cells in this niche, which links it and other nutrient chemicals to levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and brain development.
Epigenetics of food odors, nutrition, and pheromones
An important finding in mammals was predicted by an insect model in which the diet of the honeybee queen and her pheromones determine everything about the success of the hive including the neuroanatomy of worker bee brains.
