Experiment #00000139

Foundational Dietary Theory: The dietary synergy between Hi-Maize and 6x Spermidine Yeast creates a potential cellular supply-and-clearance loop within the brain's astrocytes. Circulating spermidine metabolites utilize documented astrocytic polyamine uptake systems to access the central nervous system. Once inside, this exogenous spermidine drives FAM134B-mediated ER-phagy, clearing the endoplasmic reticulum matrix. This clearance removes the ER-stress bottleneck, allowing newly transcribed astrocytic EAAT2—upregulated by gut-derived butyrate from Hi-Maize fermentation—to successfully traffic to the plasma membrane and mitigate synaptic glutamate excitotoxicity.

Experiment #00000012

If a toxin with a thermodynamic affinity for Zinc GREATER THAN that of Glutamate AND LESS THAN that of RGNEF, under certain conditions a pathway exists wherein the toxin could shuttle synaptic retinal zinc to RGNEF, thus potentially ultimately resulting in the retinal TDP-43 proteinopathy seen in the retina post mortem in Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
