The negative effects seem to lie in the capacity of some foods / nutrients to stimulate proliferative pathways that in turn stimulate development of acne — suspect foods include those with a high glycaemic load and milk.11, 43, 44 Other evidence comes from several studies reporting that the prevalence of acne varies significantly between different populations and is substantially lower in non-Westernized populations that follow traditional diets, 45 a common factor among these traditional diets being a low glycaemic load.46 Various studies have provided evidence that high - glycaemic - load diets are implicated in the aetiology of acne through their capacity to stimulate insulin, androgen bioavailability and insulin - like growth factor - 1 (IGF - 1) activity, whereas the beneficial effects of low - glycaemic - load diets, apart from weight and blood glucose levels, also include improved skin quality.44 The clinical and experimental evidence does in fact suggest ways in which insulin can
increase androgen production and affect via induction of steroidogenic enzymes, 47 the secretion by the pituitary gland of gonadotropin - releasing hormone and the production of sex hormone - binding globulin.48 Insulin is also able to reduce serum levels of IGF - binding protein - 1 increasing the effect of IGF - 1.49 These insulin - mediated actions can therefore influence diverse factors that underlie the development of acne such as:
Hyperinsulinemia appears to increase the effect of luteinizing hormone (LH) to
increase androgen production (testosterone) which produces many of the clinical effects of PCOS.
Women with this condition will have both an increase in the frequency and amount of secretion, which subsequently stimulates
an increased androgen production by the ovary.

When testosterone is given, the need to compensate via
increased production of 5α - DHT is removed; the
androgen receptors are now also being activated by testosterone, resulting in signaling for reduced synthesis of 5α - reductase and / or reduced 5α - reductase activity.41 In sum, the research suggests that testosterone replacement promotes normalization of 5α - reductase activity, 5α - DHT levels and its metabolism to 3β - adiol.

SARMS are able to replace
androgens, this will
increase the yield of your own testosterone and other hormone
production that will
increase the desirable results seen on muscle tissues.
Insulin and IGF - 1 can stimulate sebum
production on their own, but they also stimulate the release of
androgen hormones from the liver and can
increase the skin's sensitivity to
androgen hormones.
This allows for
increased LH and decreased FSH, which in turn leads to excessive
production of the
androgens androstenedione and testosterone.
Estrogen is often overproduced in hypothyroidism by
increased production of aromatase, which converts testosterone and other
androgens into estrogen.
This has to do with a rise in
androgen levels — hormones like testosterone — which
increase the size of sebaceous glands and the
production of sebum, a waxy and fatty substance.

increased estrogen and
androgen production without progesterone.
Therefore if you take saw palmetto and inhibit the conversion process, you have the same amount of
androgens in your body (because less testosterone is being converted and it thus
increases) but overall lower sebum
production.
In humans, L - carnitine helps to
increase the growth of muscle cell fibers by
increasing energy
production within cells and by
increasing the number of
androgen receptor sites on the muscle cell surface, which in turn
increases the level of circulating testosterone.
