Yeah.
And then the question, of course, is, is there a way around that?
Is there a way where you could intermittently dose it?
You just take it once, you time it so that it's not in proximity to a bout of resistance training by a couple of days or something like that.
But yeah, there's a lot there.
Great expression I heard recently, which is mice usually lie.
Monkeys sometimes lie.
It's humans we care about.
That was just fantastic.
It was the human equivalent dose.
I was like, wow, they're eating their body weight.
I think the mice atherosclerosis studies are very dangerous.
We have to be very careful.
They have a very different lipoprotein system than we do.
They evolved in a totally different manner than we did.
The amount of protein they require is totally different from us.
So I'm always really wary when I see these studies that are using the mouse model of atherosclerosis.
I understand why we do it, because it's much easier and cheaper than looking at primates.
And obviously, we can't do these studies in humans.
You can find a lot of things in mice when it comes to atherosclerosis that don't seem to matter whatsoever in human biology.
