107. Nitric Oxide, LDL and the Missing Link in Heart Disease | Peter Anderson
Why can two people with similar LDL levels experience radically different cardiovascular outcomes? In this episode, I speak with Peter Anderson about the possibility that endothelial nitric oxide may be one of the major variables separating these outcomes. We explore whether nitric oxide can be understood as a protective “bank” that is progressively depleted by ageing, hypertension, smoking, insulin resistance, obesity, sleep deprivation, psychological stress and circadian disruption. We also discuss dietary nitrate, rocket and beetroot, oral bacteria, sunlight, ultraviolet A, infrared light, movement, erectile function, flow-mediated dilation, ketosis, statins, calcium scores and the emerging controversy surrounding coronary CT analysis in lean-mass hyper-responders.
