Ergothioneine & Cardiovascular Health
Explore mushroom research and guides on ergothioneine & cardiovascular health.
Blood Ergothioneine and Heart Disease Risk
Higher blood ergothioneine levels predict lower cardiovascular disease and mortality risk. Population data, mechanisms, and mushroom dietary sources reviewed.
Ergothioneine and Atherosclerosis Prevention
Research shows ergothioneine disrupts atherosclerosis at three stages: monocyte adhesion, LDL-induced endothelial injury, and foam cell formation.
Ergothioneine and Endothelial Function: Vascular Research
How ergothioneine protects endothelial cells: OCTN1 uptake, oxidized-LDL defense, superoxide scavenging, and anti-senescence via SIRT1 and SIRT6.
Ergothioneine and Heart Health: Cardiovascular Protection Research
Four mechanisms, 21 years of data: ergothioneine is linked to 20% lower coronary artery disease risk, with emerging evidence on post-MI cardiac protection.
Low Plasma Ergothioneine and Heart Disease Risk
Low plasma ergothioneine predicted cardiovascular mortality more strongly than any of 112 other metabolites in a 3,236-person, 21-year Swedish cohort study.
