J. Leon-Vasquez 0.05). Estimated cardiovascular risk remained low and comparable between groups.ConclusionCIHH exposure was associated with higher hematocrit levels and a significantly greater prevalence of obesity but no adverse alterations in cardiovascular or metabolic biomarkers. These findings suggest a dual physiological response to intermittent hypoxia—erythropoietic adaptation coexisting with metabolic vulnerability—highlighting the need for preventive strategies in high-altitude occupational health.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1773582 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2026.1773582 <![CDATA[Acute effect of citrulline malate on flow-mediated dilation and serum pharmacodynamics in healthy young males]]> 2026-03-06T00:00:00Z Original Research Johan GrannesNigel A.

Preliminary validation in the animal model showed that the expression levels of the four genes were elevated in diseased carotid artery tissues compared to normal controls. Immune infiltration analysis demonstrated significant correlations between the key genes and the infiltration levels of multiple immune cell types. GSEA and GSVA showed that these genes were primarily enriched in pathways associated with inflammatory response, ferroptosis, and atherosclerosis-related signaling pathways. Transcriptional regulation analysis predicted potential transcription factors, and correlation analysis revealed significant associations between the key genes and known atherosclerosis-related regulatory genes. CMap analysis predicted several small-molecule compounds with potential therapeutic effects.DiscussionOur findings uncover the previously unrecognized heterogeneity of neutrophils in atherosclerosis and identify four key genes as promising diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and provide a theoretical basis for developing targeted therapies against this devastating disease.]]>
