E4 can unleash an excess of the protein cyclophilin A into the cardiovascular system, causing inflammation in atherosclerosis and other conditions. Cyclophilin A also accumulates in cells that help maintain the blood- brain barrier, reducing blood to the brain and allowing toxic substances to infiltrate. Cyc
