LCACs also perturb Ca 2+ homeostasis in the cytoplasm and have been shown to disrupt myocardial contractility and electrophysiology, thereby inducing cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias [294]
Thats a whopping 36 years where we had no new discoveries to protect kidneys against harm

Modeled metabolic-health protocols place heavier, metabolically average profiles near 1 mg weekly
