Cholesterol may not be the only lipid involved in trans fat-driven cardiovascular disease

by Salk Institute Graphical abstract. Credit: Cell Metabolism (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.cmet.2024.10.016 Excess cholesterol is known to form artery-clogging plaques that can lead to stroke, arterial disease, heart attack, and more, making it the focus of many heart health campaigns. Fortunately, this attention to cholesterol has prompted the development of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins and lifestyle interventions like dietary...
