Mediterranean diet, neutrophil count, and carotid intima-media thickness in secondary prevention: the CORDIOPREV study
These findings suggest that neutrophils may represent a promising target for preventing atherosclerosis. A Mediterranean diet could serve as an effective dietary strategy to reduce neutrophil levels and potentially slow the progression of atherosclerosis, offering a new neutrophil-reducing therapy concept. Further research is essential to gain deeper insights into the role of neutrophils in the pathophysiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in humans.
