How Does Aquila Anal-Breathing (Altair) QiGong Exercises boost your brain and endocrine function?

Aquila Qigong practices increase sex hormones  via the stimulation (stretching/compression, twisting, or/and contraction, even light or thermal )  of  the local peripheral hormonal target tissues ( extragonadal ) which have sex hormone receptors (as intracrinology, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1838082, andhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1314080) , as well as the stimulation of the central  hypothalamicpituitarygonadal axis (also HPG axis) known as the neuro-endocrine function  - http://www.uthsc.edu/endocrinology/documents/ch08-syllabus-Childress.pdf.
17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is a group of the liver Cytochrome P450 alcohol oxidoreductases, responsible for catalysing the dehydrogenation of 17-hydroxysteroids in steroidogenesis  that includes interconversion of DHEA and androstenediolandrostenedione and testosterone, and estrone and estradiol, respectively,  as shown in http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/13/Steroidogenesis.svg.
The intracrinologic function takes effect in about  5-10 minutes after starting exercising, while the neuro-endocrine function kicks in after taking a rest.
My theory about the exercise effects on the nervous function, skin/muscle endocrine function (aslo known as intracrinology - steroidogenesis in peripheral intracrine tissues - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1838082,  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3710002/pdf/11-14.pdf , http://physrev.physiology.org/content/physrev/88/4/1379.full.pdf  and http://www.medizin.uni-tuebingen.de/transfusionsmedizin/institut/eir/content/2004/42/article.pdf  ) , and neuroendocrine function is:
1. Somatic motoring nerves activates the cells in the muscles for the skin and muscle endocrine function (steroidogenesis) with the liver P450 enzymes, leading to syntheses of hGH, DHEA, testosterone, DHT and neurotransmitters and their precursors (Sunlight UV stimulates the skin endocrine function too), for examples: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8092980http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23435015 ,http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22166417, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24464446 & http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3847208/pdf/1471-2369-14-194.pdf , http://jap.physiology.org/content/96/2/531.full.pdf+html, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15942766;
2. Stretching or twisting of nerves, blood vessels and muscles generates the somatic sensory nervous signals, partially to autonomic nervous reflex arcs in the spine and the medulla oblongata for steroidogenesis of internal smooth muscles, activation of the neuroendocrine function, and partially to the thalamus (via the somatic sensory pathway of the Thalamus) for activation of the central nervous system ,
for examples:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK10950/ ;http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11240404 and more in References). Note: some researcher have shown that "a role of skeletal muscle as a secretory organ of cytokines and other peptides, denominated myokines (IL6, IL8, IL15, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and leukaemia inhibitory factor), which have autocrine, paracrine, or endocrine actions and are deeply involved in inflammatory processes" ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3710002/ and http://physrev.physiology.org/content/physrev/88/4/1379.full.pdf ).
You can boost your growth hormone level over 300 % before a meal in 30 minutes. The best time to jump your hormonal level up is before breakfast.  However, you should limit your exercise duration for no longer than 60-80 minutes - http://jap.physiology.org/content/96/2/531.full.pdf+html . According this report, you can increase your testosterone level at about 20-30%. Our reader also reported this result.
Effects of Exercises on your body: CARBOHYDRATES, HORMONES, AND ENDURANCE PERFORMANCE

exercises-induced endocrine function

However, prolonged, heavy-duty, hard-core exercises usually burn out your testosterone faster than your body produces ( http://jap.physiology.org/content/96/2/531.full.pdf+html ). In addition, the hypothalamus and adrenal glands turn dopamine to norepinephrine, and then, when the dopaminergic system runs down in the exhaustion state, the pituitary gland releases excessive prolactin; as a result of combination of both norepinephrine and prolactin, norepinephrine is bound into the sympathetic nervous alpha receptors to tighten up your muscles and arteries, and the cells in the joints and muscles release excessive prostaglandin E2 for pain to set the alarm off - ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3766664/ ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22151605 ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10090630 ; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15942766).
At this stage, there s a lack of blood flow to your brain and testicles; thus, your testicular function slows down and produces less testosterone. Therefore, you will have a longer and longer recovery time. You may grow your muscles at the expense of your testicular (or ovarian for female ) function -

To avoid this problem, instead of hardcore exercises, you can have my Aquila Anal-breathing Qigong exercises once or twice a day
