 Statins may trigger muscle side effects by activating inflammatory danger signalsStatins may trigger muscle side effects by activating inflammatory danger signals
 
An experimental study in Science Advances shows that statins, primarily fluvastatin in these experiments, may promote low-level muscle myopathy by reducing isoprenoid-dependent protein prenylation rather than by cholesterol lowering.

Higher serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were independently associated with lower LDL-C, triglycerides, and lipoprotein(a) in 773 male professional athletes. The cross-sectional study cannot establish causality, but it suggests that vitamin D status may be linked to cardiovascular risk-related lipid markers, even in elite athletic populations.
 
   Okra supplements may lower cholesterol and inflammation markers in diabetesOkra supplements may lower cholesterol and inflammation markers in diabetes
 
A new meta-analysis suggests that okra may modestly improve key cardiovascular risk markers in people with diabetes, but researchers warn that the evidence is not strong enough to replace standard medical care. Study: Biological aging and generational shifts in early-onset cancer risk.
 
   Gene linked to lower BMI points researchers toward a new obesity targetGene linked to lower BMI points researchers toward a new obesity target
 
A review in Cardiology in Review highlights GPR75, a receptor for 20-HETE, as a promising therapeutic target for obesity and metabolic syndrome. Evidence from genetic studies, cell experiments, and mouse models suggests that blocking this pathway could influence weight gain, insulin resistance, hypertension, inflammation, and vascular dysfunction.

Researchers at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford, have developed a new calculator that estimates a person's risk of developing serious muscle disorders from statins.

Mount Sinai study connects social determinants of health to disease risksA new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai shows that social determinants of health-including environmental conditions, health behaviors, access to resources, and social well-being-can play an equally important or even greater role than genetics in predicting a person's risk of developing common diseases.
