Ecology and arteriosclerosis.

G Clerc, M Clerc

    Medical Hypotheses
    |September 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Arteriosclerosis may be influenced by infections and parasites affecting immunoglobulins, rather than solely diet. This theory explains global differences in arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease prevalence.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Epidemiology
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Arteriosclerosis epidemiology shows significant geographical variations.
    • Current understanding often emphasizes diet as a primary risk factor.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose an ecological theory for arteriosclerosis.
    • To investigate the role of infections and parasitic infestations in arteriosclerosis development.

    Main Methods:

    • Invoking an ecological theory based on immunoglobulin-mediated responses.
    • Analyzing the impact of dysglobulinemia on blood parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Dysglobulinemia alters blood cholesterol, platelet function, and hemostasis.
    • This mechanism potentially explains epidemiological disparities in arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Infections and parasitic infestations are proposed as key antirisk factors for arteriosclerosis.
    • Environmental factors beyond diet significantly condition arteriosclerosis.
