🧬 Disease Table with Low Sodium Connection
Disease / Condition Incidence Since 1977 Low Sodium Connection Obesity 🡅🡅 ✅ Chronic sodium deficiency disrupts leptin and aldosterone signaling, impairing satiety and promoting fat retention. SCN⁻ depletion (repressed due to sodium deficiency) compounds this by weakening mitochondrial oxid
🧂 The DEADLY 1500 mg Sodium Recommendation predates the WHO’s formal global sodium reduction push by nearly a decade (and it’s even worse than that)
The 1500 mg Sodium Recommendation: Timeline and Document Names When Did This Begin? The first formal federal recommendation of 1500 mg/day for older adults appeared in the 2005 edition of the Dietary Guidelines. However, the scientific groundwork was laid earlier: So while the IOM’s AI came first,
What vitamin D does or doesn’t do for a body that is salt/SCN⁻ deficient
Vitamin D isn’t just a bone booster, it’s a metabolic amplifier, and its effects shift dramatically depending on the integrity of the terrain. In a body deficient in salt (sodium) and thiocyanate (SCN⁻), vitamin D’s usual benefits may be blunted, misdirected, or even destabilizing. 🌞 What
Snake venom can have significant effects on fat distribution and adipose tissue
Stimulation of adipose tissue cells: Bothrops moojeni snake venom (Bmv) has been shown to stimulate preadipocytes, which are precursor cells to fat cells. This stimulation leads to the release of inflammatory mediators such as PGE2, IL-6, and KC/IL-8. Increased lipid accumulation: Bmv has been obser

Rete pegs (aka rete processes or rete ridges or papillae) are epithelial extensions that project into the underlying connective tissue in both skin and mucous membranes.
In the epithelium of the mouth, the attached gingiva exhibit rete pegs, while the sulcular and junctional epithelia do not. Scar tissue lacks rete pegs and scars tend to shear off more easily than normal tissue as a result. Ira D. Papel (2011). Facial Plastic and
Evans blue
T-1824 or Evans blue, often incorrectly rendered as Evan’s blue, is an azo dye that has a very high affinity for serum albumin. Because of this, it can be useful in physiology in estimating the proportion of body water contained in blood plasma. It fluoresces with excitation peaks
Chondrin
Chondrin is a bluish-white gelatin-like substance, being a protein–carbohydrate complex and can be obtained by boiling cartilage in water. The cartilage is a connective tissue that contains cells embedded in a matrix of chondrin. Chondrin is made up of two proteins See also External
