Scientists provide novel insights into the effects of alternate day fasting on atherosclerosis

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Atherosclerosis is the major contributor to cardiovascular mortality worldwide. Diet-induced metabolic abnormalities including obesity, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance (IR), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are considered atherogenic risk factors.

Endothelial lipid droplets suppress eNOS to link high fat consumption to blood pressure elevation

Journal of Clinical Investigation - Cardiology

How these conditions are linked mechanistically remains unclear, especially two of these: obesity and elevated blood pressure. Pharmacological prevention of lipid droplet formation reverses the suppression of NO production in cell culture and in vivo and blunts blood pressure elevation in response to a high-fat diet.

How High Blood Pressure Affects Your Heart and What You Can Do About It

MIBHS

This condition, called atherosclerosis, narrows the arteries, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This condition, known as left ventricular hypertrophy, can lead to heart failure if untreated. Limit your intake of salt, processed foods, and sugary drinks.

CD36 restricts lipid-associated macrophages accumulation in white adipose tissues during atherogenesis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Dysfunctional WAT drive chronic inflammation and facilitate atherosclerosis. Here, we combined the single-cell RNA sequencing technique with cell metabolic and functional assays on major WAT ATM subpopulations using a diet-induced atherosclerosis mouse model (Apoe-null). Interestingly, LAM increased 8.4-fold

The Secret to Weight Loss: Understanding Carbohydrates.

Dr. Paddy Barrett

I am a fan of using low-carb diets for both weight loss and improving metabolic health. Low-carb diets have consistently shown benefits in improving these parameters 1. In the early 1970’s a group of 106 severely obese patients were put on a diet that resulted in an average weight loss of 63 Kg (139 lbs) over about one year 2.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

A 69‐year‐old woman with a history of lung cancer, hypertension, chronic tobacco use, atherosclerosis, and known calcified plaque at the left carotid bifurcation on dual antiplatelet therapy presented with acute onset of expressive aphasia and right hemiparesis due to acute left CCAO. Post‐operatively, he had evacuation of neck hematoma.
