Leucine Exposed: How Your High-Protein Diet Could Be Hardening Your Arteries
High protein consumption may elevate atherosclerosis risk by activating immune cells that contribute to arterial plaque formation, with leucine playing a critical role.
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers discovered a molecular mechanism by which excessive dietary protein could increase atherosclerosis risk. The findings were published on February 19 in Nature Metabolism.
The study, which combined small human trials with experiments in mice and cells in a Petri dish, showed that consuming over 22% of dietary calories from protein can lead to increased activation of immune cells that play a role in atherosclerotic plaque formation, driving the disease risk. Furthermore, the scientists showed that one amino acid – leucine – seems to have a disproportionate role in driving the pathological pathways linked to atherosclerosis, or stiff, hardened arteries.
