Atherosclerosis, of course, is the number one killer in the Western world.
Atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, begins in childhood.
Atherosclerosis, as I mentioned earlier, starts with white blood cells, a particular type of white blood cell called a macrophage-- excuse me-- going into the artery wall and clearing up garbage,
Atherosclerosis, the number one cause of death in the Western world-- the cause of heart attack-- the cause of strokes.
That it causes atherosclerosis.
And that's how atherosclerosis progresses.
In the case of atherosclerosis, there is just one particular compound.
So that's the beginning of atherosclerosis.
High triglycerides are an early trigger to atherosclerosis, which is the process of plaque formation in the blood vessel walls.
So let's first of all take atherosclerosis, the accumulation of fatty deposits in the major arteries, which leads, of course, to heart attacks and strokes, and therefore
This is the first visible stage in atherosclerosis.
This is the beginning of atherosclerosis when a white blood cell, a macrophage, in the artery wall becomes poisoned by contaminants, oxidized
and knocked off probably by atherosclerosis in the arteries uh supplying the brain. The other type of
That is what predisposes you to developing those atherosclerotic plaques.
So let me talk a little bit about atherosclerosis.
that it's associated with increased risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis with a hardening of the arteries. So the calcium is being deposited in places that you don't necessarily want it because
The microbes are metabolizing them into a chemical called TMAO that promotes heart atherosclerosis, otherwise known as heart disease.
And that oxidized cholesterol produces heart disease, produces atherosclerosis, and inflammation.
Intuit, Microsoft, Atheros , Xylink, Sybase and bunch of others.
And whether your blood pressure is high or low or whether or not you smoke to estimate your risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Alzheimer's, cancer, atherosclerosis-- those are the big diseases these days.
That's for sure. Now, the beginning of atherosclerosis is depicted on this slide here.
and oxidizes it to something called TMAO. This is what causes atheroscerosis. So if you take a germfree mouse that has no microbes, you
feed as much red meat as one. It doesn't get atheroscerosis. Vegans and vegetarians have very low rates of this, you know,
And it comes back to the number one killer in the Western world, atherosclerosis.
there needs to be, what's happening now is some sort of atherosclerotic imaging, imaging to look for the precursor of cholesterol buildup and so that's what I usually do. That's, I'm
from the alpha male down to the lowest, the one at the lower end of the hierarchy can develop atherosclerosis and a heart
No. They had no rates of heart disease, not a single case of atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, our number one killer, was found.
that are known as metabolic diseases, which include fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, cancer, asthma, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, neural degeneration.
observed that if you have a glass or two of red wine per day, then it cuts down your risk of atherosclerosis. It stops
of suffering or causes of disease. Instead, it's internal ones. It's things that are causing atherosclerosis and heart disease and stroke, things that
