Remnant cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apoB absolute mass changes explain results of the PROMINENT trial - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38678642/

Absolute mass changes in remnant cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B can explain results of the PROMINENT trial. The 3 mg/dL (0.08 mmol/L) higher total atherogenic cholesterol together with 5...

The study suggests that absolute changes in remnant cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B explain the neutral results of the PROMINENT trial, with higher atherogenic cholesterol and apolipoprotein B linked to more ASCVD.

The gut microbiota functions like a vital organ, essential for human health. By analyzing metagenomic data from dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes and multiple diseases, the researchers in the linked study identified stable gut microbial relationships. The study model reveals two competing guilds: one for fiber fermentation and butyrate production, and another linked to virulence and antibiotic resistance.
