🚨 Breaking News: #Aspartame, the villainous #sweetener, apparently has a side gig in aggravating #atherosclerosis through a nefarious insulin inflammation plot! 🙄 Meanwhile, ScienceDirect's superior user experience shines through yet another "oops" moment, with more support tickets than actual insights. 🤦♂️ #ScienceFail #NotSoSweet

Arteriography - visualization of the arteries
A radiopaque contrast agent is injected into the arteries that need to be analyzed.
This test is done on an empty stomach.
Arteriography can detect arterial cholesterol deposits, as well as atherosclerosis or pulmonary embolism.

#atherosclerosis occurs when #cholesterol and other fats form plaque on #arterywalls. This restricts #bloodflow & damages #endothelial cells on the inner surface of #bloodvessels. #lycopene and #phenolicacids can lower cholesterol levels #tomatoes are rich in lycopene & #vitamine

A deep analysis of multiple genomic datasets reveals which genetic pathways associated with #atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease are shared between mice and humans. https://elifesciences.org/articles/94382?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic_insights
#Atherosclerosis is considered a frequent cause of #cardiovascular diseases and #strokes. Despite medical progress, case numbers are constantly rising. Targeted new therapeutic approaches are therefore more important than ever.

#Actinobacterium #Collinsella, which isn't only associated with #Alzheimer's and the APOE variant but #rheumatoid #arthritis, #atherosclerosis, and Type-2 diabetes as well.
The researchers suspect Collinsella's ability to promote the expression of inflammatory messenger hormones, together with its knack for making the gut more permeable, could play a role in exacerbating – if not triggering – #neurological #damage.
High LDL cholesterol is bad for your cardiovascular health.
First things first - what is cholesterol?
It's a waxy substance your body needs to build healthy cells.
But too much LDL cholesterol can lead to blockages in your arteries.
Untreated high cholesterol raises your risk of #atherosclerosis, #heartattack, #stroke , and other cardiovascular complications.
High LDL level is > 130 mg/dL (or 7.2 mmol/L) 🧬#HighLDL
Let's look at high #Cholesterol in this thread: 🧵👇🏻
