De rol van metalen bij MS

U of S researcher to look at role of [URL="http://www.leaderpost.com/health/resear ... story.html"][U]metals[/U][/URL] in multiple sclerosis
[QUOTE]A University of Saskatchewan scientist plans to use the Canadian Light Source synchrotron to study the role some metals play in multiple sclerosis.

Anatomy and cell biology Prof. Bogdan Popescu wants to find out if levels of iron, copper and zinc in certain central nervous system cells can help define distinct forms of MS or could be a target for drugs to prevent the disease's progression.

[QUOTE]"Without (iron) the cells cannot function as required, but too much can go to the opposite side of the spectrum. Too much can also be toxic."

Whether MS patients have too much iron in those cells, researchers don't know, and it's what Popescu intends to find out.

He's submitted a proposal to the Canadian Light Source to use its BioXAS beamline to quantify the amount of iron in oligodendrocytes and produce images of how the metal is distributed in the cells.[/QUOTE]

Vooral kwik kan veel schade aanrichten, maar dat is al eens behandeld in een topic waar het over amalgaam ging.
Overigens kun je je met een speciale test laten controleren op kwik.

En over ijzeropstapeling in de hersenen (zie CCSVI) is ook zo veel geschreven.

t'Is een ongelooflijk gecompliceerd onderwerp in alle opzichten.
