Den här artikeln är över 5 år gammal, och informationen kan därför vara inaktuell. Det finns en tydlig koppling mellan förbättrad tarmmikrobiota och ett av våra vanligaste kolesterolsänkande läkemedel, statiner. Det framgår av en europeisk studie där forskare vid Göteborgs universitet ingår. Tarmens mikrobiota, alltså sammansättningen av bakterier, har tidigare kunnat kopplas till olika ämnesomsät

En forskningsstudie vid Lunds universitet, visar att det finns ett samband mellan selenbrist och en ökad risk för att utveckla hjärtsvikt. Risken är dubbelt så hög för de personer som har låga nivåer av selen. Hjärtsvikt är en folksjukdom som drabbar 250 000 svenskar. Vid hjärtsvikt orkar hjärtat inte pumpa tillräckligt med blod ut i kroppen och sjukdomen är förenad med mycket dålig prognos. Sedan
