Female Pheromone and Physical Exercise Improve Endocrine Status in Elderly Japanese Men

Abstract

in balance between anabolic and catabolic hormones, to the progressive decrease in circulating testosterone. are some to affect the anabolic to catabolic hormone ratio. anabolic to catabolic hormone ratio increases transitorily just after exercise. In an increase in salivary testosterone in men exposed to female pheromones has been reported. Although exercise tolerability and olfactory perception decline with age, we can not exclude the possibility of the adaptation for exercise training and of the sensitivity for pheromone exposure in elderly men. pheromones and physical modulate anabolic and catabolic in men. double-blind, From the second to fifth exercise class periods a commercially available pheromone (Osmopherine) was applied to the upper lip of 6 men before exercise and continued as volatile molecules were released from necklace worn continuously. Another 6 men received the pheromone carrier gel on their upper lip and a necklace with only the vehicle. Saliva samples were collected before and after each exercise class to measure testosterone and cortisol concentrations. The daily physical activity level for each subject was assessed by an accelerometer. RESULTS: Pheromone exposure and exercise classes led to a significant increase in the pre-exercise the rodents, considered “micro-osmatics”. Although humans are referred to as “micro-osmatics”, some authors believe that airborne chemical signals play an important role in non-verbal communication between people. 20-22) Evidence of modulations by pheromone exposure of the human endocrine system, autonomous nervous system, mood Abstract
