I have a physiology problem and there are mulitple answers that are possible on this question.

Sodium intake in the diet sometimes gets a bad rap because too little sodium intake could actually result in: Hypotonic blood Edema (excess fluid in the tissues) Decreased ability to cool by evaporation in primates Swelling of red blood cells Decreased insulin secretion Decreased uptake of glucose into adipocytes Decreased movement of Glut-4 into outer membranes of cells within the brain Decreased movement of Glut-4 into the outer membranes of non-contracting skeletal muscles Decreased movement of Glut-4 into the outer membranes of contracting skeletal muscle cells Decreased uptake of glucose into contracting skeletal muscle cells Decreased uptake of glucose into cells of the brain Decreased movement of glucose through Glut-2 into beta-islet cells of the pancreas

Explanation / Answer

Too little sodium in the body results in the following,
