  1. Nuclear condensation is DNA moving to the sides of a cell a sign that the cell is going to die.

    What can be done to prevent all these issues with beta cells and toxins entering the body?

  2. What I learned: Certain types of toxins found in fish can have adverse effects on the ATP production cycle.

    Questions: Are there certain specific diets the fish can be fed in a farm to prevent these harmful chemicals from getting in their meat.

  3. Fact: Exposure to TCDD results in significant increases in cell death

    Question: Does TCDD directly cause diabetes?

  4. There are 6 POP's that have been shown to correlate with increased diabetes and beta cell dysfunction affects this as well.
    Q: Why are some of the POPs easier to detect than others?

  5. Fact: 1hr exposure to TCDD has a 20% decline in cell survival.
    Question: Is there any research showing how diabetics resit POPs?

  6. Statement: A cell's death rate will increase by 20% when exposed to dioxin. This is marked by excess autophagy of vacuoles, excess degranulation, and peripheral nuclear condensation.

    Question: What is the main source of dioxin pollution within the ocean? Why are farmed fish at a higher risk?
