Letting in Blood

Encouraging cells in the skin's connective tissue called fibroblasts to turn into blood vessels is an ambition for restoring blood flow to limbs damaged by diabetes. This study finds that while delivering a cocktail of genes to fibroblasts will promote vascularisation, an epigenetic change called gene demethylation regulated by a protein family called TET1/2/3 is necessary to achieve vascularisation in live animals

Understanding the Unique Challenge of Type 2 Diabetes in South Asians!

Diabetes is a recognized global health concern, affecting millions of people around the world. However, certain populations are at a higher risk, and among them, South Asians stand out. Type 2 diabetes is a significant health issue for this group, with a higher prevalence and unique genetic and environmental factors contributing to their susceptibility. In this blog post, we will explore the complex relationship between South Asians and type 2 diabetes, drawing insights from recent research studies.

The Genetic Link: Insights from KCNQ1 Variants

One of the key factors contributing to the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes in South Asians is their genetic makeup. A study by Been et al. (2011) found that specific variants in the KCNQ1 gene increase susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in South Asians. The research, which involved 3,310 subjects from India and the US, highlighted the importance of genetics in understanding the risk factors for this group.

A Systematic Overview of Genetic Studies

Chowdhury et al. (2014) conducted a systematic overview of genetic studies related to type 2 diabetes in South Asians. Their research consolidated findings from various studies, shedding light on the complex genetic factors that contribute to diabetes susceptibility in this population. The study provides a comprehensive understanding of the genetic landscape of type 2 diabetes in South Asians.

South Asian Diabetes in a Global Context

Gujral et al. (2013) examined the similarities and differences between type 2 diabetes in South Asians and other populations, including white Caucasians. The research revealed the unique challenges faced by South Asians and how their genetic and environmental contexts influence the disease. Understanding these distinctions is essential for tailoring effective diabetes prevention and management strategies. The impact of past famines in a condensed period of time (specifically induced by colonialism during the 19th and 20th centuries) can also be argued to have shaped the South Asian epigenetic framework to hold onto fat in a comparatively different manner than white Caucasian counterparts.

Exploring Underexplored Pathways

Narayan and Kanaya (2020) proposed a hypothesis to answer the critical question: "Why are South Asians prone to type 2 diabetes?" They explored underexplored pathways that might contribute to the increased risk in this population. Their hypothesis opens new avenues for research and the development of targeted interventions.

The Role of Lifestyle and Socioeconomic Factors

Type 2 diabetes is not solely a genetic issue. Unnikrishnan, Gupta, and Mohan (2018) emphasized the significance of lifestyle and socioeconomic factors in understanding the phenotype, clinical presentation, and natural history of diabetes in South Asians. This comprehensive approach takes into account the broader context in which diabetes develops in this population.

The Urgency of Action

In their 2007 article, Patel and Bhopal highlighted the diabetes epidemic in the South Asian diaspora. The piece underscores the importance of taking action to address this growing health crisis. Early interventions and awareness are crucial to preventing further escalation of diabetes in the South Asian community.

-- The high prevalence of type 2 diabetes among South Asians is a multifaceted issue influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors. Research, such as the studies mentioned in this blog post, helps shed light on the complexities of this disease in this population. By understanding the unique context of South Asians, we can develop more effective strategies for prevention and management, ultimately reducing the burden of type 2 diabetes in this at-risk group. This is a topic I'm incredibly interested in researching and will probably write more about in future posts!

this hasn't happened to me in a long while, but when I was a kid getting weighed I remember a doctor pulling out a separate BMI chart for Asians with lower cutoffs. this was around a decade ago. no doctors have done this since. is that like, normal? or in any way meaningful?

'normal', unfortunately yes---I don't know that I've heard of doctors actually making up charts for this but it is a commonly held belief among physicians and epidemiologists that BMI cutoffs should be lower for Asians than for whites, because Asians supposedly have higher rates of weight-correlated adverse health outcomes (diabetes, CVD, &c) at the same BMIs.

meaningful is a different matter. there are two major and really damning issues with this belief:

firstly, the (handful of) studies documenting this disparity have all the same issues as any other medical literature on weight and health. we don't actually have good evidence to say that weight causes these health outcomes; it's difficult to disentangle environmental factors, or the fact that disease can often cause the weight gain itself, as in the case of diabetes or 'metabolic syndrome'. weight stigma, not interchangeable with weight itself, has a massive and documented negative effect on health outcomes. also, as far as I can tell, most if not all of the studies on this particular question seem to have been done using Asian-American subjects specifically, so that opens a whole host of further statistical ambiguities: you're talking about immigrant populations in the US. physicians love to interpret shit like this as evidence of biological racial differences instead of probing questions like: does this suggest that Asian immigrants to the US are subjected to forms of marginalisation that cause particular health effects? and the usual critiques of weight science include the problem that long-term deliberate weight loss is not achievable for th vast majority of people save through the development of behaviours that would otherwise be identified as eating-disordered, so BMI chart cutoffs are of pretty limited value for individual health guidance even if we were confident in their causal relationships.

secondly, and arguably even more fundamentally, any data that purport to differentiate people on the basis of race are data that are using an invented social category, not a 'natural' or biological one. there are absolutely health outcomes and conditions that affect different populations at different rates or with varying effects. but 'Asian' is not a coherent category genetically, epigenetically, historically, physiologically, or anything else. it's no more a 'real' biological grouping of people than 'white' or any other racial category. these are social designations, they're not biological facts. medicine that purports to display sensitivity to marginalised groups by reifying the biological ideology that defines them is reactionary at its core, and is not even solving the problems people think it is. when we lean on the idea of racial health disparities, we're basically relying on a crude average of a whole bunch of different people and groups who have been socially slotted into one 'race' category. this doesn't help people; on the contrary, it often obscures the actual rates of particular health issues in different populations: for example, the gene responsible for sickle cell anemia is common in families from many parts of the world, and sickle cell anemia is not a 'race-based disease' but an inherited genetic disorder. the allure of 'innate racial differences' as an etiological explanation is still pervasive and pernicious in medicine as elsewhere. Rana Hogarth talks about this in the epilogue to Medicalising Blackness, and I've also heard Iris Clever discuss it in conferences, although to my knowledge her published work focusses more on the epistemological architecture of genetic and anthropological databases. anyway my point is that, even if we solved all the issues raised in part 1 above and were confident that we had indeed pinpointed BMI cutoffs causally linked to adverse health effects, it still would be harmful and not helpful to set these cutoffs on the basis of 'race', which is a social system of categorisation and marginalisation and has no biological basis or 'natural' justification.

You must water yourself and feed the tissues in your body with the light from your thoughts, perceptions, nutrition, to the things you watch, listen to, and read. This doesn't mean that you try to escape the tragedies of the external world. It does mean that you understand that your body responds to your own love and care more than anything else. Daily care and aftercare are essential during times of war and peace. As we sit with the paradox and nuance of being human and our predatory animal nature to take, pillage, and harm, we must show up for it all, including caring for our bodies. Your body responds to your daydreams, thoughts, and touch. When you touch your body, let your heart be as light as a feather...as much as possible. The light in your hands sculpt, shape, and heal your body. I told my friend the other day that my breasts sit up the way that they at 47 years old because of how much love I have given them over the last 15 years, how much I take time and care with my body, how often I lay back and just listen. So many of us with breasts carry burdens in our bodies year after year. God needs us to transmute all the shame, tension, anger, repression, embarrassment, and fear so that we can access more of our divine nature to help evolve this world by channeling raw and uncommon solutions.

Because if the voting and marching were working, we would be not be where we are in the world today. I still bow to my sisters and brothers who are on the front lines. But what I also know to be true is that we must take time to detox in order to recalibrate the hate, repression, shame, and war living in our epigenetic line that continue to create war in our bodies--the diabetes, cancer, chronic jealousy, womb aches, breasts ache, lack of sensation, and lack of full-body orgasms, and also the molestation and scarcity in the family line. These entities. We can't continue to "take in" and not let out.

Bringing More Love to Your body Changes the World Around You and Opens Up More Pathways to Love and Loving

When you live "spirituality" as a lifestyle, more of your DNA unlocks open. When there is high emotion in the collective, I transfer that energy into self-care--bathing, skin care, making good food, listening to good music, resting and caring for who and what is around me. I made a bone broth chicken soup and brought some to my massage therapist. I know what's happening in the world but I'm not constantly attuned to it in the 3D, meme after meme, news story after news story. I'm living life that around me and praying for those who are fighting for their actual lives. I do not take for granted what it means to have more freedom.

Shifting my focus in various ways over the years has kept my body more nourished and youthful than what it would have been otherwise. I priortise sweating often, lik in a dry Finnish sauna, wet sauna, or sweating while working out in high intensity classes. I have no goal to stay younger-looking. I love being grown AF. It is merely what naturally happens when we take care ourselves (our cells) and release, release, release. When we release, our tissues let go and bodies respond favorably. Our care creates the conditions that allow our bodies to flourish in ways in which we beautifully and radiantly age, but we don't age as quickly. -India Ame'ye, Author

BPA, a harmful endocrine disruptor, is found in everyday items like plastic containers, canned foods and thermal receipts — often encountered multiple times daily without awareness.

BPA mimics estrogen, disrupting hormonal balance, reproductive health (infertility, reduced sperm quality), metabolism (obesity, insulin resistance), and even causing epigenetic changes linked to diabetes and cancer.

Beyond plastics, BPA lurks in canned food linings, thermal paper (receipts) and some dental sealants, while "BPA-free" alternatives may contain similarly harmful chemicals.

Minimize exposure by using glass/stainless-steel containers, avoiding canned foods, refusing thermal receipts, skipping hand sanitizer before handling receipts, and advocating for stricter regulations.

BPA’s effects may span generations, with prenatal exposure linked to developmental disorders. Collective action — policy changes and public awareness — is crucial to curb its widespread harm.

I actually tend to hc that all the Links are descended from another at some point.

However, what do you think about epigenetics being a viable reason for such?

You mean epigenetics being the reason they all are similar? Or that epigenetics is the reason they're all descendants of each other? I'm not sure I understand the question.

However, considering that epigenetics regards the condensed-ness (that's not a word but oh well) of the histones and the DNA wrapped around them and that most epigenetic changes are extremely reversible due to being caused by environmental stimuli (the only epigenetic changes that are permanent being CpG methylations in gene promoters, because those control cell differentiation.), I don't think epigenetics would leave a permanent mark on all Links as a whole. If Twilight Princess was Ocarina of Time's grandson or great-grandson, then that would be the only time I could see epigenetics playing a role in more than one Link. However, I think the rest of them are too far apart in the bloodline to have any real epigenetic effect on each other. Generally, epigenetic changes have been reversed after two or three generations, unless whatever stimuli that caused the original modification was persistent. (We used diabetic rats and poor/proper dieting for this study, and research on psychological epigenetics is still very new)

Although now that you mention this, I am curious to see how epigenetics would play a role in BotW/TotK's children.

I hope that answers the question!

For me I definitely hc that Skyward, Ocarina, Twilight Princess and BotW/TotK being all relatives (BotW being descended from TP literally being a foundational piece in my lore). I just don't know enough about the rest of them to decide for the rest of them.

[magnoliamyrrh]

Aren't there some diseases or genetic disorders which are more common among races though?

yeee so. this is actually a common misconceptions which has caused a lot of issues in medical fields - like in america for example, "black" people are sometimes misdiagnosed or not diagnosed with some conditions because of this belief

there are conditions which are more common in ethnicities, not races. because "race" is an incredibly broad concept which encapsulates several ethnicities, some which have great genetic variability among each other

since i brought it up per example its thought that sickle cell anemia is a "black" or "african" condition (as in some places where malaria is present, a kind of sickle cell helps give immunity to malaria). however, the higher presence of sickle cell is present only in certain regions of africa and in certain peoples, not across the entire continent - the continent of africa having the highest genetic diversity between groups of any other

on the same topic, in america black people are often classified as one "race" believed to have similar health conditions. however, the vast majority of african americans here are mixed with a wide variety of other ethnicities, as well as often more than one african ethnicity. thus, genetically speaking, there is variation and it is much more complicated. while the shared history of slavery and systematic opression has similar epigenetic impacts, it is again, more complicated than just one "race." this also leads to many cases of medical malpractice, in which people of several races in america are often Assumed to have xyz condition or to not have xyz condition because it is not common in their "race," when they may or may not have it anyhow, or when it is their ethnicity which matters and not this

other examples would be uh idk europe. it is said oh, europeans are more prone to xyz. this is true in some cases, but it goes by ethnicities. there are several ethnicities in europe. blood type it has been found affects rates of several diseases, including cancers, diabetes, autoimmune things, and many other stuff.... however, based on ethnicity, not "race", people are more likely to have a certain blood type group which would affect them. this goes for other things

ooorr idk another example. it is often said oh (insert race here) is lactose intolerant. except even though yes, there is a global distribution of who is and isnt lactose intolerant, there are Several, not one, genetic mutations which make one able to drink lactose, which have evolved in several regions of the globe separately - from places in africa to the middle east to europe to asia. thus, ethnicity and the history of that ethnicity is what determines this, not "race"

this isnt a very in depth reply but as a quick answer i hope it makes sense. "race" is Wayy too broad of a concept to base any sort of medicine on

[bluescreening]

op is in fact extremely fucking right in regards to type 2 diabetes. it's mostly or sometimes entirely genetic factors. People with lifestyles with a lot of exercise and diets that are low in sugar very much get type 2 diabetes, as much as people who do not exercise and eat a lot of sugar don't. It's indiscriminate and the whole stigma and idea around type 2 is fatphobic diet pushing bullshit basically

hi op! i am a biology student studying to research autoimmune diseases like my relatives who are also biologists researching diabetes.

you're right, type 2 diabetes is caused by a variety of genetic and epigenetic factors, almost all of which only actually cause type 2 diabetes when someone eats too much sugar for their entire lifetime. therefore someone is normally only at risk for type 2 diabetes when they eat way too much sugar for their entire lifetime. you're also right in that some people who don't eat way too much sugar get type 2 diabetes, but it's very misleading to suggest that they make up the majority.

type 2 diabetes is very much not indiscriminate. it stems from insulin resistance which normally only occurs when someone eats too much sugar over a long period of time. type 1 diabetes, however, is when the body produces no insulin whatsoever.

type 2 does not have a stronger genetic link than type 1 because type 2 is largely due to epigenetic changes and single nucleotide mutations which are highly variable generation on generation and can happen to anyone. they are even highly environmental (or at least epigenetic changes are) which means they won't necessarily run in a family line. type 1, however, is a straight up autoimmune disease. it has an extremely strong genetic link (e.g. every descendant of my diabetic great aunt has diabetes while i do not).

as for your last point, it did give me some pause - perhaps I was exaggerating a little to say it could be cured. but according to diabetes UK, "some people with type 2 diabetes who improve how their body makes and uses insulin through weight loss may be able to put their diabetes into remission." you might think that the weight loss part is irrelevant compared to sugar intake but actually fat buildup around the liver and pancreas leads to insulin resistance so. make of that what you will.

i know that it must be difficult living with type 2 diabetes and fatphobia is of course a rampant issue in modern society. but type 2 diabetes is one of few illnesses associated with obesity which are actually directly linked to your diet. note that I never mentioned obesity as a risk factor so far, but instead talked about eating too much sugar. eating too much sugar leads to obesity and also type 2 diabetes. people shouldn't judge people for eating what they want, regardless of their health, but it's important not to spread misinformation regarding preventable disease.

in short, it's more than ok to be fat, just try to eat a healthy diet and you probably won't get diabetes.

[krismorgenstern]

Epigenetics also come into play with those whose ancestors were enslaved, the stresses of which don't disappear until about 10 generations of relatively little stress. In addition to mental effects, this can also make a person more likely to develop physical imbalances such as obesity and diabetes. And of course, the epigenetic triggers making a person more susceptible to such things don't switch off if that person and their family continue to experience violence generation after generation.
