Novel mechanistic links between high-protein diets and atherosclerosis
2020
New research in this issue of Nature Metabolism shows how a high-protein diet increases amino acids in blood and atherosclerotic plaques, and in plaque macrophages activates mTOR signalling, suppresses mitophagy and increases apoptosis, thereby exacerbating atherosclerotic-plaque build-up in genetically modified mouse models.
