Dietary Meat, Trimethylamine N-Oxide-Related Metabolites, and Incident Cardiovascular Disease Among Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this large, community-based cohort, higher meat intake associated with incident ASCVD, partly mediated by microbiota-derived metabolites of L-carnitine, abundant in red meat. These novel findings support biochemical links between dietary meat, gut microbiome pathways, and ASCVD.PMID:35912635 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.121.316533

The Endothelium as a Hub for Cellular Communication in Atherogenesis: Is There Directionality to the Message?
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2022 Apr 15;9:888390. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.888390. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTEndothelial cells line every blood vessel and thereby serve as an interface between the blood and the vessel wall. They have critical functions for maintaining homeostasis and orchestrating vascular pathogenesis. Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease where cholesterol and inflammatory cells accumulate in the artery wall below the endothelial layer and ultimately form plaques that can either progress to occlude the lumen or rupture with thromboembolic consequences - common outcomes being myocardial infarction and stroke. Cellu...

Review of Cardiometabolic Effects of Prescription Omega-3 Fatty Acids
AbstractPurpose of ReviewPopulations with significant dietary fish intake tend to have lower cardiovascular (CV) risk and demonstrable physiologic differences including lower lipid/lipoprotein levels and other direct and indirect effects on the arterial wall and inhibiting factors that promote atherosclerosis. Treatment with high doses of pharmacologic-grade omega-3 fatty acid (n-3FA) supplements achieves significant reductions in triglycerides (TG), non-high-density lipoprotein- (non-HDL-) and TG-rich lipoprotein- (TRL-) cholesterol levels.n-3FA supplements have significant effects on markers of atherosclerosis risk inclu...
