Q26-How do enzymes affect the pituitary gland?
Cooked, enzyme-free, and refined food causes a drastic deviation in pituitary gland size and appearance. Animals fed enzyme-free foods experienced pituitary gland damage similar to that of humans fed cooked foods. This damage included decreased vascularity, increased connective tissue, and a change in the distribution of cell types within the pituitary. The relationship of enzymes to the pituitary was also demonstrated when surgical removal of the pituitary gland from animals revealed that the enzyme level in the body of the animal increased significantly. This research demonstrates that hormones influence the activity of enzymes, and enzymes are necessary in the formation of hormones. |
