>High-salt (HS) diet is an established risk factor for cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study reveals that HS diet reduces SHANK1, a key postsynaptic scaffolding protein, via downregulation of the PKA/CREB pathway, leading to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive deficits in rats. RNA sequencing of HS-fed rat hippocampi showed downregulation of cAMP signaling and SHANK1 expression. Pharmacological inhibition of PKA/CREB reduced SHANK1 levels and impaired dendritic structure and synaptic function, while PKA activation restored CREB activity and SHANK1 expression, reversing HS-induced deficits. Notably, CREB activation is essential for SHANK1 regulation, as a CREB mutant (S133A) blocked the effects of PKA activation, and a constitutively active CREB (S133D) prevented SHANK1 downregulation. These findings highlight the PKA/CREB/SHANK1 pathway as a potential therapeutic target for HS-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Holy fuck dude. If that's your real reading you need to make some changes pronto.

I'm on pills. Lots of them.

Your excessive carbs and sugar intake is causing insulinemia.

Keto can help you lose fat and water weight, increase your HDL, lower triglycerides, and normalize blood sugar & blood pressure within a matter of weeks.

Get out there and start exercising. Start small but be consistent. You'll get those numbers down in no time. I'm doing it, so can you. You can do it. I believe in you.
