Postprandial recruitment of neutrophils may contribute to endothelial dysfunction. Wow. Viewing eating as an inflammatory process is a little intimidating. This study found that a fat, a glucose and a mixed meal induced neutrophil increases (a type of white blood cells) while water did not. This may be one of the reasons while the water […]
Folic Acid Improves Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With CAD The evidence pointing to homocysteine as an independent risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and the evidence suggesting that folic acid, vitamin B12 and B6 can lower levels is now reaching incredible levels. Every person worried about cardiovascular disease needs to have homocysteine levels checked. […]
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated With Endothelial Dysfunction Insulin is the key player in this relationship. Insulin is known to shunt away from estrogen production over to testerone production. This elevated testerone is known to be a risk factor for PCOS. Managing insulin levels can be one of the most important things to do for […]
Insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction and essential hypertension This study suggests a link between endothelial dysfunction (one of three layers of cells making up the arteries), essential hypertension and insulin resistance. Remember that most cases of high blood pressure are essential/idiopathic, meaning that the cause of the condition is unknown. This study may punch holes in […]
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated With Endothelial Dysfunction In view of recent findings that insulin resistance can be a contributor to endothelial dysfunction; and knowing that high insulin levels can shunt hormone production into too much testosterone in the female to contribute to PCOS…then this study is merely proving that A=B and B=C so A […]
