Potassium / BMD Cancer Research Results

K+, Potassium: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Potassium (K⁺), an essential electrolyte, plays vital roles in cellular function, neuronal signaling, and maintaining membrane potential.
-Source: leafy vegs, legumes, salmon(384mg), banana(358mg), potatoes(russet in skin)(550mg)
-RDA: 4700mg/d (<2% of US adults meet this goal)
AD:
-Low extracellular potassium can lead to increased neuronal calcium influx, oxidative damage, and microglial activation, worsening neurodegeneration.
-Certain potassium channels (e.g., KCNQ) are downregulated in AD, and their activators (like retigabine) have shown neuroprotective effects in preclinical models.

Cancer:
-K⁺ channels upregulated in many cancers

Those with kidney problems, may need to decrease potassium intake.
BMD, bone mineral density: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
The Bone Mineral Density (BMD) Test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the density and strength of bones. A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures calcium and other minerals in bone. Cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and radiation, can negatively impact bone health and lead to decreased BMD, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Some studies suggest that low BMD may be associated with poorer survival outcomes in certain cancer types, although the relationship can be complex and influenced by various factors.
