George, This is very interesting. I'm guessing the process is roughly as follows: If your blood sugar drops "hypoglycemic response" you have less glucose to metabolize and so the process of oxidative phosphorylation (making ATP)is reduced i.e., need less O2. (O2 is the trash collector in the metabolic process. It captures the protons and electrons used to create ATP and forms water. O2 can also form super- oxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide--a natural process and our body has enzymes to deal with this.) But under pressure reducing O2 is not an option. O2 builds up and has nowhere to go metabolically. The bodies natural defensive enzymes catalase and super-oxide mutase get overwhelmed and you tox. Is this the current thinking as to the physiological process? Do you guys take any antioxidants with the glucose in water? At what levels of exposure is this a risk i.e., at what bottom times? I'm in this thread late and havn't read all my mail and so I appologize if these questions have been addressed. thanks, tom >From: THOMASRSAWICKI/SCI/STUDENT/ODU@sa*.ne* on 02/15/99 12:22 PM GMT > > >Subject: Re: in all seriousness > > > >Tom, leaving the bs out, the reason we use glucose is that once you eat >anything or take on ANY sugar in any form, the risk is that the blood >sugar level will fall back below what it was to start with. >Hypocglycemic responce. > >The resulting drop has been implicated in potentiating oxtox.
