Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2007Common Salt?
Hello, Whether common salt intake can act as appetizer or increase hunger/cravings to overeat(ref; sugar/Na co-transported via Na/K pump)? If yes, can it also be due to iodine in iodized salt, now in much use(ref; increased appetite on hyperthroidism)? Best wishes. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Best wishes. Na/K pump?

It is a > physically inpossible concept. "Another important task of the Na+-K+ pump is to provide a Na+ gradient that is used by certain carrier processes. In the gut, for example, sodium is transported out of the resorbing cell on the blood side via the Na+-K+ pump, whereas, on the resorbing side, the Na+-Glucose symporter uses the created Na+ gradient as a source of energy to import both Na+ and Glucose, which is far more efficient than simple diffusion. Similar processes are located in the renal tubular system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaKATPase " > TC "Absorption of glucose entails transport from the intestinal lumen, across the epithelium and into blood. The transporter that carries glucose and galactose into the enterocyte is the sodium-dependent hexose transporter, known more formally as SGLUT-1. As the name indicates, this molecule transports both glucose and sodium ion into the cell and in fact, will not transport either alone"http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/digestion/smallgut/absorb_sugars.html > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Best wishes. http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.cardiology/msg/5642908177caf957?

The amount of salt that is optimal will vary from person to person. This optimum is determined by the amount that makes the food taste best for any one person. > > > If yes, can it also be due to iodine in iodized salt, now in much > > > use(ref; increased appetite on hyperthroidism)? It is theoretically possible that an iodine-deficient person may find iodized salt adding more flavor to the food. Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

Whether such optimal is excess in diabetics? Can below optimal level stimulate craving of taking salty foods? Do we get effects/feeing of excessive from excess intake of salt and sugar, after few days of intakes? Till then, taste/cravings make us to take more. If yes, how? > > > > If yes, can it also be due to iodine in iodized salt, now in much > > > > use(ref; increased appetite on hyperthroidism)? > > It is theoretically possible that an iodine-deficient person may find > iodized salt adding more flavor to the food.

No. Thyroid hormone is stored and its release is precisely regulated. Andrew <>< -- Andrew B.

What about conditions as binge eating and Bulimia? http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003265.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000341.htm Now, There seems to be some relation of binge eating, Potassium instabilities/imbalances and diabetes2. Hyperglycemia may cause eflux of K from cells and increase in extrcellular K whereas insulin can reverse it? Probably, diabetic2 with persisting hyperglycemia are losing more K in urine due to such eflux, presenting hyperkalemia AND hypokalemia at different times? > > > > > If yes, can it also be due to iodine in iodized salt, now in much > > > > > > use(ref; increased appetite on hyperthroidism)?

Those would be eating disorders that would require counseling and group therapy to overcome the underlying psychological issues driving the vicious cycle of obsessive eating and associated overwhelming feelings of guilt.

Where the issues that drive overconsumption are psychologically centered, and I believe most are, then no diet, no treatment and no weight loss approach will have certainty of success. |
