The global incidence of diseases related to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has increased significantly. Short-term exposure to PM2.5 is positively correlated with mortality associated with increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of how…
In a recent study published in JAMA, researchers investigated whether treat-to-target (TTT) low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) therapy was inferior to administering statins of high intensity for clinical outcomes in the long term among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Study: Treat-to-Target or…
New research has shown that the blood vessels that feed aggressive brain tumors have receptors that could allow a new type of drug-containing nanoparticle to be used to starve the tumors of the energy they use to grow and spread,…
In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers performed secondary analyses of the Walnuts and Healthy Aging study (WAHA) data, a two-year prospective, randomized controlled trial (RCT) carried out among the 63 to 79-year-olds of Loma Linda University (LLU) in…
In a recent study published in Nutrients, researchers reviewed the effect of mushroom consumption on the risk factors, morbidity, and mortality associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Study: An Assessment of Mushroom Consumption on Cardiometabolic Disease Risk Factors and Morbidities in Humans:…
The math might seem simple. Foods high in cholesterol plus no exercise equals heart trouble. But as it turns out, high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the variety they call “bad”) isn’t the only diet-driven culprit behind perils like…
In a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, researchers investigated the use of serological high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) values to estimate the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) among adult Black and White individuals.…
A protein in soybeans blocks the production of a liver enzyme involved in the metabolism of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein, scientists found in a recent study. Consuming soy flour rich in the protein B-conglycinin has the potential to reduce…
In a recent Nutrition Reviews journal study, researchers from the University of Toronto performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of previous controlled trials to better understand the impact of honey on mitigating certain cardiometabolic risk factors. Study: Effect of honey on…
The Family Heart Foundation, a leading research and advocacy organization, shared results from an analysis of its large U.S. Family Heart DatabaseTM showing significant disparities exist in the treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) among racial groups, and by income and…
