So, today . . . let's continue to explore the possibilities of the "effect" Marijuana can have on the body and brain . . .
Now, yesterday . . . we spoke about how THC affects the "brain" . . .
But . . . what about our "hormones"???
Well . . . THC affects our hormones by "interacting" with the "pituitary gland" at the base of the skull . . .
Now . . . this "applies" to BOTH "recreational" and "medicinal" Marijuana . . .
And the effects on "FEMALE" hormones and reproduction are. . .
THC can disrupt the normal surge of LH and FSH . . . crucial for follicle development and ovulation . .
THC can delay ovulation, causing anovulatory cycles (no ovulation) . . . and alter menstrual cycle length . . .
THC can "reduce" fertility . . .
Ad the effects on "MALE" hormones and reproduction . . .
THC can "decrease" testosterone production . . . affecting sperm and prostate health . . .
THC "reduces" sperm count, motility . . . and ability to fertilize eggs . . . lowering male fertility . . .
THC "decreases" the SIZE and weight of reproductive organs . . . meaning the testicles, penis and everything in between . . .
AND finally . . . Effects on our other HORMONES . . .
THC suppresses "prolactin" released from the "pituitary gland" . . .
THC "inhibits" the release of our "Growth hormone" (GH) . . . and . . . our "Thyroid-stimulating hormone" (TSH) . . . which affects our METABOLISM and GROWTH!!!
And this is a "BIGGIE" people . . .
THC . . . "RISES" . . . our "Cortisol" hormone . . .
That's right my friends . . . the one that we've been talking about for the past several months . . .
And tomorrow . . . we'll continue . . .
