Please specify these toxins and how a reduced heart rate prevents your liver and kidneys from effectively dealing with them.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5650477/

The early mechanisms likely involve a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and bioavailability that is largely the result of oxidative stress and endogenous inhibition of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) (21).

(Oxidative stress is a result of free radicals from metabolic byproducts)

Pathological levels of the free radical superoxide (O2−) are capable of rapidly reacting with NO to form the secondary radical peroxynitrite (ONOO−), reducing the overall bioavailability of NO available for vasodilation. This mechanism appears to contribute to the oxidative stress mediated suppression of endothelial function in CKD

(Superoxide is a mitochondrial metabolic byproduct)

Note that nitric oxide is itself a free radical.

Phanatic posted:

"Antioxidant," like "free radical," is just a broad classification that tells you little. Antioxidants that eat a free radical that was going to damage your DNA are good, but those same antioxidants could also eat up the nitric oxide molecules that themselves protect your cells from damage and oxidative stress, and wind up causing cancer.

That paper says that if you've got CKD, then you're getting some endothelial dysfunction, which increases your risk for CVD. Nitric oxide is a potent vasodilator, and if you're producing less of it you're more likely to get CVD. The paper further says that aerobic exercise can restore some of that lost endothelial dysfunction.

This paper does does not say that endothelial dysfunction or CKD are caused by poor circulation that results from assal horizontology meaning you don't filter toxins from your blood. It's the CKD that's causing the elevation in ROS, not the other way around: "Oxidative stress is characterized by a disproportionate increase in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) relative to endogenous antioxidant defenses, and is a key mechanism in the early pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction in patients with mild-to-moderate CKD."

When I was playing hockey and super fit I had a resting heart rate of something like 50 bpm. My blood was basically just sitting still! Being fat and out of shape is much better for keeping the blood moving along.

No that’s basically how it works. Reduced aerobic activity leads to reduced endothelial muscle tone leads to reduced renal clearance. Your blood gets “stale” and full of toxins

What, exactly, is “endothelial muscle”?

The smooth muscle in your arteries, arterioles, and capillaries that mediates blood flow

Take it from someone who’s PhD was on crosstalk between vasodilator pathways, and who then spent six years in cardiovascular research: this is factually incorrect. You have endothelial cells, which are the ones that line blood vessels, and you have smooth muscle cells, which are the ones directly below the endothelium. But there is absolutely no such thing as an “endothelial muscle.”

Not for nothing, but an uninterrupted line of coaxial cable is as weatherproof as it can get, it's the splices and terminations that need protecting.

Hard to tell what applies based on one picture, though.

Weatherproof is one thing, but that's just hanging from its brackets in a common area, accessible to anyone. It's a high turnover area with lots of students - some drunk business major is going to come along one night and see how far they can pull it out from the wall before it breaks.

yes I know this, I wrote “endothelial muscle” as shorthand for “smooth muscle colocated with endothelial tissue”. I studied neural vasculature at the school where NO was discovered :shrug:

No. Since this is the OSHA thread, it would be like someone saying “chainsaw nails”. The words he was looking for were “blood vessels”.

Endothelial cells are one thing, smooth muscle cells are a completely different thing.

Then you ought to know better. :science: FYI my PhD supervisor was one of John Vane’s students, did a postdoc in Murad’s lab, worked a lot with Moncada, and is one of the leading experts on NO.

I might be one of the last people trained to do classical bioassays with cascades of perfused tissues like in the old days. Those were fiddly buggers to set up.

Australia's got Burning Mountain, a coal seam fire like Centralia that they estimate has been going for 6,000 years.

I think there's one in Germany that's been going since the 1500s or something, too.
