1/🧵 I'm definitely a fan of both @DominicDAgosti2 and @DrRagnar (obviously), so I was excited to see them chatting about #lipids, #LMHRs, and Dom's consideration of increasing carbs to lower his #ApoB
If no one minds, I'd like to add some thoughts...

2/ First -- I'm extremely excited to share @DominicDAgosti2 may be the most notable N=1 I've waited for regarding #ResistanceTraining change & #LDL/#ApoB in a #ketogenetic context
Those who've followed me for a while know exactly what I'm talking about...

3/ When chatting with Dom in SD last year for dinner, he mentioned focusing less on maintaining such a sizable muscle mass as he typically does, and I predicted he'd likely see his LDL/ApoB as considerably higher with this change if still #keto. This podcast appears to confirm...

Okay, I want to revisit and breakdown my position on this crucial topic and the challenges in communicating it.

2/ First, it's worth reviewing why there's a high level of confidence low density lipoproteins (LDLs) drive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
For an excellent, lay-person video, I recommend @NutritionMadeS3's from a couple years ago 👇

3/ Also in the name of arguably the most cited meta-analysis for the Lipid Hypothesis to date:
"Low-density Lipoproteins cause atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease"
This meta combines lines from genetic, observational, and interventional studies.

Teaming up again with the great @VerwerftJan to share our experience with #echoCPET in #HFpEF. This hot-of-the-press paper @ESC_Journals demonstrates myriad of opportunities for diagnosis & treatment, far beyond #SGLT2i only. Tweetorial below!

In #HFpEF, early & correct diagnosis are important, #phenotyping is everything. There are a lot of mechanisms for dyspnoea involved

Current @ESC_Journals paper goes one step further: "In patients with confirmed HFpEF or probability >90% according to well-validated HFpEF scores (both are complimentary in our view), why #echoCPET within a dedicated #dyspnoea clinic? What is the impact of findings?"

1/ Okay, finally getting around to this experiment video by @ScepticalDoctor
Naturally, this has many things I'm interested in -->
- N=1
- #Lipids (esp #Cholesterol)
- and not least of all, Anna and I have many respectful, kind debates (more of that plz, #NutritionTwitter)

2/ "But this experiment is mainly for entertainment purposes. Self experiments like this are irrelevant from a scientific perspective."
Unsurprisingly, I do disagree on this wording. I think it's fair to say self-experiments have "limited" relevance (depending on design)...

2/ After you watch the video, can you answer the following "quiz" questions?
(i) How does the contribution of de novo lipogenesis to Triglyceries in VLDL change as liver fat accumulates?

3/ T/F and why?
(ii) Palmitic acid is transported by VLDL1 to the pancreas, harming beta cells in the pancreas. Palmitic acid is a major saturated fat (16:0) found in animal foods. So, you should eat less red meat and dairy and substitue in healthy whole grains & fruit, like 🍌?

Did you know #lipids control cell identity? Yes, they do! Happy to share our first preprint on #singlecell #lipidomics in collaboration with @gio_dangelo and a fabulous team led by @CapolupoLaura and Irina Khven. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We used #MALDI imaging mass spectrometry to measure the single-cell lipidomes of hundreds of individual human dermal #fibroblasts. We identify specific lipid metabolic pathways that display cell-to-cell variability. Unexpectedly, single cells clustered by lipid composition!
It took a lot of experiments to convince us, but now we can say it confidently: there is such a thing as a #lipotype!! First of all, toxin-based lipid staining validated the existence of the different populations of dermal fibroblasts both in vitro and in vivo.
Tons of chatter about the new prescription omega 3 data coming forth. Lots of takes about the study designs, n3 formulations, differences across populations, variation in comparator groups. All important ?- but I think there's a bigger 🐘in the room. #cardiotwitter #lipids #AHA20
Intervening with n3 fatty acids is unlike other drugs bc they are a nutrient. There is no placebo for n3s in the sense that:
1) you have questions about what is the ideal comparator; typically isocaloric oil.
2) you don't have an unexposed group - there are endogenous levels.
1) you have questions about what is the ideal comparator; typically isocaloric oil.
2) you don't have an unexposed group - there are endogenous levels.
There are numerous reasons for n3 enthusiasm, but playing by evidence hierarchy, the top reason is that meta-analyses of cohorts demonstrate that higher blood levels of n3s result in reduced risk of fatal CHD jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

Lifestyle changes r the cornerstone and foundation of cardiovascular prevention & should never be neglected in our conversations w/ patients. “Primordial prevention” is key! A patient’s risk of plaque burden isn't only from the magnitude of LDL elevation but duration of exposure
In primary prevention, the new ASCVD risk categories include low risk (< 5%), borderline risk (5 to <7.5%), intermediate risk (7.5 to <20%), and high risk (≥20%). The focus of the 2018 lipid guideline update is on risk-enhancing factors.
In five days we begin filming #TheCCDoc -- a documentary on #Lipids, #HeartDisease, and the phenomenon of higher #LDL #Cholesterol observed in many following the #keto/#lchf lifestyle.

2/ 9:25 — Pauli opens up on lowering his use of “the D word” to improve the “communication strategy”. 👏 👏
naturally, I’m a huge fan of keeping the personal separate from professional. Adding a little noise to the signal just keeps many focused on the noise.

3/ there are actually a handful of times where Pauli would go on a big Twitter thread that I really wanted to retweet — but it included too many personal jabs. I think that’s really changed in recent times (hence my recent retweet of one of his threads)
1/ This screenshot is from the #GameChangersMovie which just hit @netflix. As you all know, I'm not interested in the nutrition debate -- but I *am* very interested in #lipids. In this part, Dr. Robert Vogel is sharing the outcome of experiment (around 22:20 mark)...
2/ He had athletes try burritos and test their blood two hours after. Once with an animal protein and fat burrito, then once with a plant-based burrito. Naturally, I'd expect the fat from the meal to show up in the blood at the two hour mark via chylomicrons...
3/ But the interesting part is where one athlete who consumed only #plantbased and had clear serum asks, "So the fat from the avocado doesn't have that kind of effect...?"
Dr. Vogel: "That's right."
Dr. Vogel: "That's right."
The gene ApoE impacts mobilization + redistribution of #lipids and cholesterol during neuronal growth and repair 👉 Using a murine model of acute hematogenous HSV-1 #infection, this team found that viral neuroinvasion was reduced in mice lacking ApoE compared to wild-type mice
2/2 In the mice, ApoE dose was directly linked to the Herpes Simplex-1 DNA concentration detected in the #nervous system. ApoE4 was also more efficient than ApoE3 in promoting colonization of the brain by HSV-1.
3/3 Team says: “If an interaction between ApoE and HSV-1 has anything to do with #Alzheimer’s this may occur during latency” and “The relationship between these two risk factors for ALzheimer’s could be of great importance in the pathogenesis of this disease.”
#Tweetorial time! 🚨 Looks like there’s another misconception about #cholesterol and #atherosclerosis making rounds again. This one has to do with the process of #LDL particles entering the arterial wall. So gather round friends and let me science the s*it out of this 🤓 (1/24)
For background, here’s a widely cited series of figures by Nakashima et al. (2007). They performed autopsies on 38 people aged 7-49, who died of non-#cardiovascular causes (2/24)

Nakashima et al. looked for atherosclerotic lesions at different stages, according to a previously published morphological classification scheme. They found them, took slices, stained them to find #lipids and #macrophages and organized them nicely (3/24)
