Episode notes
Calcium Stiffness Risks
- Calcium buildup stiffens arteries and triples heart attack and stroke risk.
- Prevention through nutrition and lifestyle is vital as early detection is difficult.
Fisetin Protects Arteries
- Fisetin prevents calcium binding to artery cells, keeping arteries flexible.
- It also reduces oxidative stress and inflammation, protecting cardiovascular health.
DUSP1 Enzyme Blocks Calcification
- Fisetin activates DUSP1 which blocks the P38MAPK signal causing artery hardening.
- When DUSP1 is inactive, artery calcification proceeds unchecked.
