This review article claims that:
“Mudge showed that potassium accumulates in rabbit kidney slices as the concentration of dinitrophenol is increased [32]. The accumulation of potassium continues even after cellular respiration is inhibited [32] and hyperkalaemia has contributed to toxicity [33]. Due to the uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, inorganic phosphate is no longer absorbed into the mitochondria and accumulation takes place, but whether this contributes to the clinical presentation is unknown [25, 34]. Teratogenicity, Carcinogenicity and Other Toxicity In animal studies, DNP has been shown to be teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic; developmental and reproductive toxicity has also been reported [35].”
“The use of continuous veno-venous haemofiltration (CVVH) has been recommended to manage hyperkalaemia and hyperthermia associated with DNP overdose [4, 83].”
From this it appears that DNP has been associated with hyperkalaemia. As such, it might be advisable to temporarily stop consuming potassium chloride while on DNP in order to be safe.
Thoughts? I found it strange that people weren't talking about this alleged risk in the DNP threads here. Maybe this article is full of shit?
