Concurrently, mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) amplifies vascular dysfunction by oxidizing BH4, uncoupling endothelial eNOS, and reducing NO bioavailability while also activating pro-inflammatory pathways (e.g., NLRP3 inflammasome) and stimulating NOX activity, creating continuous oxidative damage (Penna and Pagliaro, 2025)
Subjects with amalgams had significantly lowered red blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, compared to those without amalgams
