We talk about the ketogenic diet as a metabolic therapy for type 1 diabetes. For each 1-hour increase in nightly sleep duration, there was: a 38% reduction in the risk for a new diagnosis of obesity a 23% lower risk for a new diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea The median sleep duration of the study cohort was 6.8 hours per night.

Aster proteins mediate the nonvesicular transport of cholesterol from the plasma membrane (PM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we show that loss of Aster-B leads to diet-induced obesity in female but not in male mice, and that this sex difference is abolished by ovariectomy.

While much attention is given to modifiable risk factors such as diet, exercise, and smoking, the role of genetics in heart disease is equally critical yet less understood by the general public. Specific genetic variants, such as those affecting cholesterol metabolism, can increase the likelihood of plaque buildup in the arteries.

Normal Cholesterol Levels. A study of almost 10,000 adults with obesity (BMI >30) who were evaluated for all LE8 factors and followed for over 7 years can give us some insight 1.

This is because stress causes an increase in cortisol – the primary stress hormone – leading to increases in blood pressure , cholesterol, blood sugar and heart rate. But, sometimes, prolonged stress or sudden, drastic spikes in stress can cause palpitations, trigger heart attacks or increase your risk for heart disease.
