Implications of Diet in Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Postprandial Changes in Circulating Monocytes and Endotoxemia
Description:
It is well established that continual consumption of a diet high in fat leads to the development of chronic conditions such as obesity, cardio metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis that are associated with high incidence of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have identified endotoxin-derived inflammation as a major diving force for the development of these conditions.
