A study titled "Glycated Hemoglobin Level Is Strongly Related
to the Prevalence of Carotid Artery Plaques With High Echogenicity in Nondiabetic Individuals" is important because arachidonic acid has been found to be an incredibly potent glycating agent, as is clear in the study cited in the fist message in this thread. Here is a key passage:
QUOTE: ...We conclude that increasing HbA1c [glycated hemoglobin] levels are related to an increased risk of carotid artery plaques and that the relationship depends on plaque echogenicity. Our results suggest that the degree of glycemia contributes to the development of hard echogenic plaques and that the process takes place already at modestly elevated levels of HbA1c. UNQUOTE.
