Description
Marte Narum and co-authors test a gut-leak theory of heart disease in people who have lived long with type 1 diabetes. The idea is that a damaged gut lining lets bacterial products slip into the blood, stoking the vessel inflammation that clogs arteries. In 102 patients and 63 controls, the team measured blood markers of gut damage and compared them with artery scans and known heart disease.
One marker, a protein released when gut cells are injured, ran clearly higher in patients with established heart disease or serious artery narrowing. It stayed linked to serious narrowing after other factors were accounted for. The authors say the result supports the leaky-gut route as one thread in diabetic heart disease.
