“The treatment dramatically lowered triglyceride levels by up to 50% and prevented aneurysm formation and dissection in multiple mouse models.”

Good to see that they’re slowly realizing that Triglycerides is the BIG health threat - SOME OF US have known that for at least a decade. By the way, another ‘treatment’ to greatly lower triglycerides is to simply not eat carbs, or at least greatly minimize them.

Tell that to the AHA and Diabetes association... Cars r gud!

Ehh... I’d be careful labeling triglycerides as evil. They are literally the fuel your brain uses for all its metabolic processing. Exceptionally high levels of triglycerides are not good, but classifying them as a killer is misguided. Everything in the body is there for a reason. It’s a balancing act.

What’s important is the size of fat particles on the blood. Small particles are bad. But it’s hard or expensive or maybe impossible to measure that directly.

“The triglyceride to HDL ratio is a proxy for LDL particle size. A higher ratio suggests a greater proportion of smaller, denser LDL particles, which are more atherogenic (contribute to plaque buildup in arteries).” (ChatGPT)

My ratio was near 1.0 perfect, but then jumped to 3.6. Last check was back in the 1’s.
