Women with failed fertility treatments increase their risk of heart disease, Canadian study warns - National
A new Canadian study is warning that women who undergo fertility treatments but don't get pregnant increase their risk of developing long-term heart disease. Don't ignore these signs of a 'silent' heart attackAbout 2.4 million Canadians aged 20 and older live with heart disease. There are some overlapping risk factors between women who are having trouble conceiving and women who are at an increased risk of heart disease later in life, though. For starters, weight and opioid are two common factors that affect fertility and heart disease risk. There isn't a lot of research on the long-term health impacts of fertility treatments, especially in women who don't conceive.Diet and exercise are known interventions to prevent or slow down the development of atherosclerosis but it has become evident that our gut bacteria also contribute. However, they caused the greatest weight and adiposity gains and adversely affected the gut microbiota composition of the mice. Oat beta–glucan altered both the composition and functionality of the gut microbiota. Scientists in Cork have claimed their research shows that gut microbes play a role in heart health. The level of butyrate, a type of fatty acid produced by gut bacteria which has been previously shown to protect against diet-induced obesity in mice, was elevated in this study.
