The increased risk of heart disease caused by type 1 diabetes is partly due to the stimulation of the production of a protein, known as calprotectin, which triggers an inflammatory process that leads to buildup of artery clogging plaque. The findings, made in mice and confirmed with human data, suggest new therapeutic targets for reducing heart disease in people with type 1 diabetes.
