Lipoprotein(a) linked to carotid artery plaque buildup in people with high levels of the protein in their blood. Elevated lipoprotein(a), also known as Lp(a), is associated with atherosclerosis, which can cause heart attacks and strokes. High levels of Lp(a) can increase risk of cardiovascular disease. This may help doctors predict which patients are at higher risk. #Lipoprotein #Elevated #Lp

Eating food items in a particular order can affect how body manages sugar and insulin after eating. This idea, called meal sequencing, suggests that the order of consuming different types of food can impact their effect on blood sugar levels. Foods with low glycemic index are typically eaten first, followed by those rich in carbohydrates. #Eating #Foods

New research shows big dogs age faster than smaller ones at a genetic level. The study tracked changes in DNA to see how quickly dogs aged and found that larger breeds showed more rapid epigenetic decline. This means older, bigger dogs may have shorter lifespans compared to their smaller counterparts. No further information provided on the study's methodology or conclusions beyond this summary. #New #DNA
