Minerals
- Sodium (Na+)
- Electrolyte and membrane potential
- Asians higher in Na+ diet intake vs Americans
- Electrolyte and membrane potential
- Iodine
- Deficiency causes Cretinism, Myxedema
& Goiter
- Hypothyroidism Deficiencyin iodine (produces inactive thyroxin) HASHIMOTO'S
HYPOTHYRODITIS (autoimmune destruction of thyroxine-producing cells)
Feedback to TSH secretion causes the Thyroid to grow.
- Myxedema - Over weight body, Puffy facial tissues
- Myxedema - Over weight body, Puffy facial tissues
- Hyperthyroidism Pituitary tumor (produces excess TSH) or GRAVES DISEASE (cross-reacting autoimmune
antibodies bind TSH receptor & stimulate Thyroid).
- Myxedema - Localized Edema, especially preTibial
- Myxedema - Localized Edema, especially preTibial
- Hypothyroidism Deficiencyin iodine (produces inactive thyroxin) HASHIMOTO'S
HYPOTHYRODITIS (autoimmune destruction of thyroxine-producing cells)
Feedback to TSH secretion causes the Thyroid to grow.
- Deficiency causes Cretinism, Myxedema
& Goiter
- Potassium (K+)
- Diabetics need electrolytes due to Insulin lowering K+ levels
- Diabetics need electrolytes due to Insulin lowering K+ levels
- Magnesium (Mg++)
- Low levels causes tremors, numbness & irregular heartbeat
- Low levels causes tremors, numbness & irregular heartbeat
- Calcium (Ca++)
- Americans Ca+ intake lower than Asians
- Regulate secretion, Blood clotting, muscle contraction and enzyme co-factor
- Ca+ Remains constant due to
hormonal regulation properties cant
be be used to determined Ca levels
- Calcitonin inhibits Ca+ absorption
- Phytates in grains reduce Ca+ absorption, balance it out with Sardines, Bone broth & Fortified Drinks
- Ca+ intake is typically low in American diets and Fast foods provide excess Phosphorus
- Americans Ca+ intake lower than Asians
- Phosphorus
- Americans Phosphorus intake higher than Asians
- Blood Buffer, Bone mineral, Biomolecule component
- Americans Phosphorus intake higher than Asians
- Iron
- Supplementation in rare Iron deficiency Anemia
- Supplementation in rare Iron deficiency Anemia
- Sulfur
- Conformational folding of a protein
- Conformational folding of a protein
- Zinc
- Wound healing (Collagen Syn)
- Deficiency in middle eastern diets due to diets
high in GRAIN (phytate) having fiber bind to ZINC
- Wound healing (Collagen Syn)
