Plant Offal

Monday June 30th 2014
 
Dear M
 
It was a joy to see your face light up when I mentioned " Plant Offal" yesterday in Healesville!
 
naturally I cant find the actual story that used the term " plant offal"- its a good name
here are some links to that storyline....
 
 
and here is a link to a wonderful dementia  story airing on Australian Story now- both on Rupert Murdoch's tabloid paper out of the UK! 
 
Maybe Rupert should ask to become your new best friend.
 
all the best!

Gemma says:
There was perhaps too much nitrogen in my original comment, so here goes some science to de-confuse the dear reader (on the interplay of sun, nitrogen, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and CVD health):
Is sunlight good for our heart?
“We propose here that many of the beneficial effects of sunlight, particularly those related to cardiovascular health, are mediated by mechanisms that are independent of melatonin, vitamin D, and exposure to UVB alone. Specifically, we suggest that the skin is a significant store of nitric oxide (NO)-related species that can be mobilized by sunlight and delivered to the systemic circulation to exert coronary vasodilator and cardioprotective as well as antihypertensive effects (Figure 1). We further hypothesize that this dermal NO reservoir is a product of local production and dietary supply with nitrate-rich foods.
[...]
A recent human study has demonstrated that UVA irradiation can increase plasma nitrite levels by 40%. This is intriguing considering that in animal models, a similar increase in nitrite is associated with cardioprotection following I/R injury. Dietary nitrate intake (predominantly from green leafy vegetables) may provide an alternative source of nitrite.”

 Gemma says:
And now on the importance of the ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) living on the skin:
Soil bacteria, nitrite and the skin
“Mammals likely evolved with AOB on their skin, providing their host with nitrite by conversion of ammonia in providing their host with nitrite by conversion of ammonia in sweat with scalp, pubic and underarm hair providing a suitable niche due to enhanced sweat production, increased warmth, increased relative humidity and protection of light (the latter is important as ammonia monooxygenase activity is inhibited by light). Low NO increases androgen levels which increase growth of pubic hair, expanding the AOB niche thereby increasing NO/NOx production and absorption in a feedback loop.
The production of a suitable niche for these bacteria provides a rationale for non-thermal sweating (e.g., under stress) (to supply NO/nitrites, the location of body hair (near lymph nodes), why the skin of the scalp is thin and well vascularized (to enhance NO/nitrite absorption), any why the sweat glands are most abundant on the feet and palms (fro antimicrobial effects of acidified nitrite in surfaces in contact with soil).
