Active consumption of salt, found Yale University, may lead to an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Recall: multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the myelin sheath of nerve fibers is damaged. This leads to severe damage to the nervous system, which reduces the life of a person by about 5-10 years..

There is no specific therapy, which eliminates 100% of the problems associated with the disease.. Recent studies give hope for a working therapy against illness. Scientists have found that with a high salt concentration in the cells, the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway occurs, one of the components of which is ?-catenin protein.

The Wnt pathway provokes dysfunction of regulatory T cells producing cytokines interferon-gamma and interleukin-10. Cytokine imbalance results in inflammatory processes dangerous to the central nervous system..
