Therefore, we hypothesized that treatment with hCTP in a mouse model of HFpEF would ameliorate the pathophysiology of this disease.Methods:To establish a HFpEF model, 6-week-old, C57BL/6NJ mice were placed on a high-fat diet (HFD), 60% kCal from lard, and water with 0.5 Gene and protein expression studies in heart tissue are underway.

The exact mechanisms behind this link are complex, but it’s believed that the combination of lifestyle factors associated with depression (such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking) and the physiological effects of depression on the body (including inflammation and blood clotting) can contribute to heart problems.

6 [link] Insufficient sleep has been linked to a greater risk for several health conditions including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and cognitive decline. Multiple studies find that the risk for high blood pressure (hypertension) is elevated in women with short sleep duration to a greater extent than it is in men.

While CAC is typically associated with traditional risk factors such as age, hypertension, and smoking, paradoxically elevated CAC scores have been observed in male endurance athletes despite their otherwise healthy profiles. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. That’s pure speculation, however.
