Keto vs Lp(a) for Heart Health

LINK: https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/the-hidden-mechanism-behind-lpa-riskand?r=40ekz2 Lp(a) is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease, but the mechanism matters. New research shows that Lp(a) can enter the arterial wall and drive oxidative stress by disrupting eNOS function. Normally, eNOS produces nitric oxide to keep blood vessels healthy, but when its helper molecule BH4 is depleted, the enzyme uncouples and starts generating superoxide instead. This shift damages vascular health. Ketogenic diets may help restore this balance by improving redox status and supporting BH4 availability, potentially counteracting Lp(a)-driven oxidative stress. The full breakdown covers the data in depth. #CardiovascularHealth #LpA #KetoScience #MetabolicHealth #StayCurious
