Does insulin resistance cause atherosclerosis in the post-prandial period?

Insulin resistance would appear to be a causal factor for the development of early occlusive atherosclerosis. This paper proposes that post-prandial insulin resistance, in association with raised levels of cortisol and catecholamines, plays the major role, and may even be the primary causative factor. Therefore, factors that lead to insulin resistance in the post-prandial period, specifically stress, will accelerate the development of CHD.

This may explain the low rate of CHD in France, as their eating habits (in common with many other Mediterranean countries) are more relaxed than those in Northern Europe. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
