𧏠Disease Table with Low Sodium Connection
Disease / Condition Incidence Since 1977 Low Sodium Connection Obesity đĄ đĄ â Chronic sodium deficiency disrupts leptin and aldosterone signaling, impairing satiety and promoting fat retention. SCNâ» depletion (repressed due to sodium deficiency) compounds this by weakening mitochondrial oxidation and terrain resilience. Type 2 Diabetes đĄ đĄ â Low sodium destabilizes insulin signaling and renal glucose…

𧏠Terrain Collapse in the Osbourne Family â Vault Mapping
So I just heard that musician Ozzy Osbourne died after health troubles. His entire family has sufferend numerous health problems over the years (like most others). Tell me how our hypotheses and theories might apply to such health problems and point to diet over genetics (husband and wife are presumably not related). The issues that…

salt deficiency may mimic other conditions
Hereâs a concise, evidence-informed breakdown showing how acute or chronic sodium deficiency or mismanagement (restriction, wasting, or inability to retain) may mimic, exacerbate, or parallel mechanisms seen in these conditions. Each bullet links sodium to key dysfunctions: Parkinsonâs Disease COVID Complications Vaccine Reactions Alzheimerâs Disease Autoimmune Conditions Fatigue & Chronic Exhaustion Heart Problems & Arrhythmias…

Protein phosphorylation was first reported in 1906
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification of proteins in which an amino acid residue is phosphorylated by a protein kinase by the addition of a covalently bound phosphate group. Phosphorylation alters the structural conformation of a protein, causing it to become activated, deactivated, or otherwise modifying its function. Approximately 13,000 human proteins have sites that are phosphorylated. The reverse reaction of phosphorylation is called dephosphorylation, and is catalyzed by…

Ferrochelatase catalyses the eighth and terminal step in the biosynthesis of heme, converting protoporphyrin IX into heme B
Protoporphyrin ferrochelatase (EC 4.98.1.1, formerly EC 4.99.1.1, or ferrochelatase; systematic name protoheme ferro-lyase (protoporphyrin-forming)) is an enzyme encoded by the FECH gene in humans. Ferrochelatase catalyses the eighth and terminal step in the biosynthesis of heme, converting protoporphyrin IX into heme B. It catalyses the reaction: protoheme + 2 H+ = protoporphyrin + Fe2+ Function Ferrochelatase catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme biosynthesis…

Gastric inhibitory peptide aka GIP and receptors
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide or gastric inhibitory peptide also known as glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide abbreviated as GIP, is an inhibiting hormone of the secretin family of hormones. While it is a weak inhibitor of gastric acid secretion, its main role is to stimulate insulin secretion. GIP, along with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), belongs to a class of molecules referred to as incretins. Synthesis and transport GIP is derived from a 153-amino acid proprotein encoded by…

Experts warn of fatty liver disease ‘epidemic’ in young people
In Bristol University‘s study Children of the 90s, 2.5% of 4,000 people born in 1991 and 1992 were found by ultrasound scanning at the age of 18 to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; five years later transient elastography (fibroscan) found over 20% to have the fatty deposits on the liver of steatosis, indicating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; half of those…

PPARGC1A is also known as human accelerated region 20 (HAR20) and may have played a key role in differentiating humans from apes
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PPARGC1A gene. PPARGC1A is also known as human accelerated region 20 (HAR20). It may, therefore, have played a key role in differentiating humans from apes. PGC-1α is the master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. PGC-1α is also the primary regulator of liver gluconeogenesis, inducing increased gene expression for gluconeogenesis. Function PGC-1α is a super…

Brain natriuretic peptide 32Â (BNP)
Brain natriuretic peptide 32 (BNP), also known as B-type natriuretic peptide, is a hormone secreted by cardiomyocytes in the heart ventricles in response to stretching caused by increased ventricular blood volume. BNP is one of two natriuretic peptides “UniProt”. www.uniprot.org. Retrieved 11 August 2022. The 32-amino acid polypeptide BNP is secreted attached to a 76âamino acid N-terminal fragment in the prohormone called NT-proBNP (BNPT), which is biologically inactive. Once released, BNP binds…

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues. POMC is synthesized in corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary from the 267-amino-acid-long polypeptide precursor pre-pro-opiomelanocortin (pre-POMC), by the removal of a 26-amino-acid-long signal peptide sequence during translation.  “pro-opiomelanocortin preproprotein [Homo sapiens] – Protein – NCBI”. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Retrieved 30 December 2020. POMC is part of the central melanocortin system. Function POMC is cut (cleaved) to give rise to multiple peptide hormones. Each of these peptides is packaged…

What Is Nitrophenol? (besides something mentioned in âScientific Opinion on the reâevaluation of aspartame as a food additiveâ)
Nitrophenols are compounds of the formula HOC6H5âx(NO2)x. The conjugate bases are called nitrophenolates. Nitrophenols are more acidic than phenol itself. Wikipedia Mono-nitrophenols with the formula HOC6H4NO2. Three isomeric nitrophenols exist: o-Nitrophenol (2-nitrophenol; OH and NO2 groups are neighboring; CAS number: 88-75-5), a yellow crystalline solid (m.p. 46 °C). m-Nitrophenol (3-nitrophenol, CAS number: 554-84-7), a yellow solid (m.p. 97 °C) and precursor to the…

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone for the maternal recognition of pregnancy produced by trophoblast cells that are surrounding a growing embryo (syncytiotrophoblast initially), which eventually forms the placenta after implantation.
