The Status of An Inversely Coupled Oxic/Sulphidic Oscillator (OSO) in the Whole Body Chemocline Will Determine Clinical Unfolding in Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)* of Any Aetiology
Abstract:Life evolved in an euxinic world with subsequent oxic 'invasion' leading to two parallel but interconnected biospheres, hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) exemplify these worlds respectively. Their concentration gradients have informational value in meromictic lakes. Similarly, it is posited, there exists a whole body chemocline in humans in which the two molecules form an inversely coupled oxic/sulphidic oscillator (OSO). The OSO is hormetic and characterised by a range of amplitudes and fre… Show more
