Organic red wine is a smart choice, but don’t start drinking just to improve HDL levels because overdoing does much more harm than good — both for cholesterol levels and your overall health. 7. Increase Niacin Intake Niacin is a B vitamin that your body uses to turn food into energy. ...
Prior studies have shown that treatment with PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab significantly reduces levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (apoB), and fasting triglycerides (TG). Yet the mechanism underlying this effect on lipid metabolism had not been studied. In an abst...
Observing the effects on three markers for cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL or bad’ cholesterol), high density lipoprotein (HDL or good cholesterol) and apolipoprotein B, a specific protein found in bad cholesterol that clogs arteries, they concluded that just substituting one or two meat...
added to maximally tolerated statin therapy in patients at high risk for CVD significantly reduced LDL-C by 36% at week 12 compared with 17% for bempedoic acid alone or 23% for ezetimibe alone; similar results were observed with non–HDL-C, total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) [...

Nattokinase has demonstrated the ability to increase the breakdown of blood clots. Together with pycnogenol, nattokinase was found to reduce leg edema and venous blood clots in long-haul air travelers. B vitamins. Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiencies cause high homocysteine levels, which have ...
Soy Protein Reduces Serum LDL Cholesterol and the LDL Cholesterol:HDL Cholesterol and Apolipoprotein B:Apolipoprotein A-I Ratios in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes1–3 Type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent in North America and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Evidence ...
Results from the Québec Cardiovascular Study have indicated that individuals displaying three of the numerous features of insulin resistance (elevated plasma insulin and apolipoprotein B concentrations and small, dense LDL particles) showeda remarkable increase in CHD risk. Our data suggest that the inc...
NLRP3 activation has also been suggested to be driven by mtROS, which are generated by complex III and, to a lesser extent, complex I of the ETC in the mitochondria, and the levels of mtROS can increase in response to cellular stress or ETC perturbation [35]. The NLRP3 activators ATP...
