Does dieckol rescue mice from lethal irradiation by accelerating hemopoiesis and curtailing immunosuppression?
Dieckol can be a promising agent for reducing the time needed for reconstitution of hemopoietic cells after exposure to irradiation.
We were able to confirm that urinary excretion of THP is dependent on sodium intake. Patients with a high salt sensitivity, i.e. an exaggerated blood pressure response to high salt intake, responded to the high salt intake with an even greater increase in the urinary excretion rate of THP. The mechanism underlying this response is still unknown, but it might indicate that distal nephron function in healthy, genetically hypertension-prone individuals is altered.
