7 Things to Know About Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) The EPOC effect from a HIIT or high-intensity strength-training workout can add 6 to 15 percent of the total energy cost of the exercise session. High-intensity workouts require more energy from the anaerobic pathways and can generate a greater EPOC effect, leading to extended post-exercise energy expenditure.

- Epiphora can be caused by blockage of lacrimal drainage system / excess lacrimation / loss of lacrimal pump mechanism. Lacrimal pump mechanism could be disrupted due to lower lid laxity or weakness of orbicularis oculi muscle. Normal lacrimation / or excess of it can be caused by irritation to cornea / conjunctiva 3.

- Causes. An adrenaline rush---also called the fight-or-flight response---is caused by a hormone release from the adrenal gland. In healthy people, the hormone release consists of 80 percent epinephrine (also called adrenaline) and 20 percent norepinephrine.

In the majority of cases, excess levels of GH are causes by a benign (noncancerous) tumor in the pituitary gland (pituitary adenoma).n rare cases, non-pituitary tumors in the pancreas, lungs or adrenal glands may cause acromegaly. These tumors may directly produce excess growth hormone or they may produce growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), which stimulates the pituitary gland to release GH.

Erythropoietin (EPO, The EPO Test) Erythropoietin (EPO) is a hormone produced by the kidney that promotes the formation of red blood cells by the bone marrow. The kidney cells that make erythropoietin are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood that travels through the kidney.

Endophthalmitis When the intraocular cavities get inflamed for some reason, this condition is known as endophthalmitis. It can be either non-infectious one caused by retained native lens substance or panophthalmitis infection wherein the entire coats of the eye develop swelling.ometimes, surgical procedure may become the reason for exogenous endophthalmitis. Endophthalmitis caused by bacteria cause pain, redness of eyes and swelling of eyelids. Fungal endophthalmitis may generally persist on the ocular cavities for weeks together causing blurred vision and pain.

Acromegaly Overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland over a long period of time causes acromegaly. There are several reasons for overproduction of GH. The most common reason is the presence of a pituitary adenoma, which is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor of the pituitary gland. These tumors produce excess GH.

- Epiphora is the overflow of tears which is caused by an imbalance in tear production and tear drainage. Other than conditions that cause an abnormal increase in tear production, an abnormality in tear drainage is the most likely cause of epiphora.

Erythropoietin Erythropoietin, also known as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted by the kidney in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Low levels of EPO are constantly secreted sufficient to compensate for normal red blood cell turnover. Common causes of cellular hypoxia resulting in elevated levels of EPO include any anemia, and hypoxemia due to chronic lung disease. Erythropoietin is produced by interstitial fibroblasts in the

- Ephedra, Ephedrine, Ma Huang. Epinephrine, more commonly known as adrenaline, is a hormone secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands. Strong emotions such as fear or anger cause epinephrine to be released into the bloodstream, which causes an increase in heart rate, muscle strength, blood pressure, and sugar metabolism. This reaction, known as the Flight or Fight Response prepares the body for strenuous activity.

Endocrine Hypertension Endocrine hypertension can be caused when glands produce too much or not enough hormone, or when they are affected by tumors. The most common form of endocrine hypertension, primary aldosteronism affects an estimated 5 percent to 10 percent of all patients with hypertension and is often under diagnosed.

Epinephrine It is also the chemical agent that is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses in the sympathetic nervous system. When a person has certain tumors of the adrenal glands, large amounts of epinephrine and norepinephrine are produced, causing a great increase in blood pressure.

Overview Researchers have linked some types of epilepsy to specific genes, but for most people, genes are only part of the cause of epilepsy. Certain genes may make a person more sensitive to environmental conditions that trigger seizures. Head trauma. Head trauma as a result of a car accident or other traumatic injury can cause epilepsy. Brain conditions. Brain conditions that cause damage to the brain, such as brain tumors or strokes, can cause epilepsy. Stroke is a leading cause of epilepsy in adults older than age 35. Infectious diseases. Infectious diseases, such as meningitis, AIDS and viral encephalitis, can cause epilepsy. Prenatal injury.

- This is known as excessive post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). An increase in the intensity of a workout, such as performing resistance training, will make the body consume more oxygen. The more oxygen demand that is placed on the body the longer it will take to restore the body to a resting state. This is when EPOC comes into play. During this transition from intense workout to a resting state, the body will consume more calories as it attempts to restore the body to a normal, resting state. It is also important to consider how the resistance training is being performed when thinking about increasing calorie burn.

Epididymitis Epididymitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the epididymis, which is a series of small tubes attached to the back of each testicle that collects and stores sperm. Most cases of epididymitis are caused by bacterial infection from a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmissible infection (STI) such as gonorrhoea or chlamydia.

Hyperandrogenism or Excess Male Hormones is a very common cause of Ovulation Disorder Hyperandrogenism or Excess Male Hormones is a very common cause of Ovulation Disorder. Many women with excess male hormones have problems with irregular periods, acne, oily skin and excess hair growth. A common cause of hyperandrogenism is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) where the ovaries produce excesses of male hormone and do not ovulate regularly. This condition is also a common cause of infertility.

Overview The cause of central diabetes insipidus in adults is usually damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. This damage disrupts the normal production, storage and release of ADH. The damage is commonly due to surgery, a tumor, an illness (such as meningitis), inflammation or a head injury.

Experimental paperEffects of the application of erythropoietin on cerebral recovery after cardiac arrest in rats â Recent data have demonstrated potent neuroprotective effects of the application of growth hormones like erythropoietin (EPO) after focal cerebral ischaemia. In order to assess possible effects of the application of EPO on cerebral recovery after cardiac arrest in rats, the vulnerable hippocampal CA-1 sector was investigated. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomised into two groups (EPO versus placebo; n = 15 per group).
