Revolution in medicine: A molecule produced by gut bacteria causes atherosclerosis, responsible for millions of deaths
A team of Spanish scientists made a striking announcement 15 years ago: they were seeking thousands of volunteers among the employees of Banco Santander in Madrid: researchers wanted to study them in depth for decades, in order to understand the onset of cardiovascular disease in healthy people. The results are even more surprising. Researchers have discovered that gut bacteria produce a molecule that not only induces but also causes atheroscler…
Scientists identify gut bacterial trigger for atherosclerosis
A molecule produced by gut bacteria can trigger heart disease, according to research published in Nature. Scientists at Madrid's National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC) identified a specific molecule called imidazole propionate that gut bacteria produce. When this compound enters the bloodstream, it sparks inflammation in arteries and promotes the buildup of fatty plaques — the hallmark of atherosclerosis. — Read the rest The post Sci…
A team of scientists from the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC), in Spain, has made a discovery that can completely change the way medicine understands and combats heart diseases.The research, published on Wednesday, July 16, in the scientific journal Nature, one of the most prestigious in the world, reveals that a molecule produced by bacteria in the intestine can be the direct cause of atherosclerosis, a disease that until now…
Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the leading cause of death globally, with atherosclerosis as a common cause. This pathology, characterized by the hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to inflammation and fat accumulation, requires early detection despite the control of risk factors such as cholesterol, hypertension or […] The entry An intestinal metabolite, key in the early detection of cardiovascular diseases appeared first on Diar…
