Preventing Heart Disease Through your Gut |
More than 650,000 people in the United States die from heart disease, which is one out of every four deaths. Now, researchers are looking to the gut and an FDA-approved drug to treat inflammatory bowel disease to aid in the prevention of heart disease.
"That diet is changing how the microbes that live in your gut work," said Marianna Byndloss the Assistant Professor of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center."They're using components of that diet and then producing some products that induce inflammation in your heart and in your arteries and cause cardiovascular disease."
"A drug called five-amino salicylic acid, or 5-ASA, which is a drug that restores the health of the intestines and prevent the microbes from producing these bad metabolites," said Byndloss.
