Maetenloch said:With normal use DNP the core body temperature doesn't go up - the body is able to compensate by (excessive) sweating. So enzyme activation or tissue damage would only be an issue during an overdose of DNP.
that doesnt make since. changine the membrane proton gradient will release the heat to extracellular atmosphere.There is no upper limit to DNP's body temperature increase, meaning that one may literally "cook from the inside" if they take too much.
Now lets define too much..... It depend on each individual body, and the envioroment heshe lives in. so we can say 200mg or 100mg is a safe dose.
Osmotic thirst suppression during 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) hyperthermiain the dog.
Szczepanska-Sadowska E.
The effect of generalized body hyperthermia elicited by intravenous infusion of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) on the reactivity of the thirst mechanism to osmotic stimuli was examined in conscious dogs. DNP increased deep body temperature by 1.53 +/- 0.18 degrees C in 18 out of 20 experiments. Impairement of thrist sensation was observed at the same time. The animals did not drink enough water to compensat for its total and evaporative loss. In cosequence water deficit developed, reaching maximum value of 2.7 plus 0.6% of body weight. The deficit was accompanied by an increase in plasma osmolarity, plasma protein concentration and hematocrit. A significant correlation between evaporative water loss and water deficit as well as between increase in deep body temperature and water deficit was found. The cellular dehydration developed in the course of DNP hyperthermia was higher by 3.3 +/- 0.6% of intracellular water (P less than 0.001) than that which was necessary to elicit drinking under conditions of normothermia. It is concluded that DNP hyperthermia changes the osmotic reactivity of the thirst mechanism so that the body fluids osmolarity is regulated at a higher level. This finding is discussed with regard to voluntary dehydration.
so you can die from dehydration without even fealing thirsty
