Cardiovascular reactivity and oxidative stress in young and older adults: the African-PREDICT and SABPA studies
Myburgh, Caitlynd; Huisman, Hugo W.; Mels, Catharina M.C. (Taylor & Francis, 2019)Background: Oxidative stress and increased cardiovascular reactivity are associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease development. These factors along with early vascular compromise are more pronounced ... -
Cornell product relates to albuminuria in hypertensive black adults independently of blood pressure: the SABPA study
Schutte, Rudolph; Huisman, Hugo W.; Ware, Lisa J.; Mels, Catherina M.C.; Smith, Wayne; Malan, Nicolaas T.; Malan, Leoné; Van Rooyen, Johannes M.; Fourie, Carla M.T.; Kruger, Ruan; Botha, Shani; Schutte, Aletta E. (Elsevier, 2015)Evidence of the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion is contradictory and limited in black adults in whom hypertensive heart disease is common. We aimed to investigate the ... -
Pulse pressure amplification and its relationship with age in young, apparently healthy black and white adults: the African-PREDICT study
Breet, Yolandi; Huisman, Hugo W.; Kruger, Ruan; Van Rooyen, Johannes M.; Gafane-Matemane, Lebo F.; Ware, Lisa J.; Schutte, Aletta E. (Elsevier, 2017)Background Pulse pressure amplification (PPA), i.e. the amplification from central arteries to the periphery, is inversely related to arterial stiffness, organ damage and mortality. It is known that arterial stiffness is ... -
The relationship of nitric oxide synthesis capacity, oxidative stress, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in black and white men: the SABPA study
Mels, Catharina M.C.; Huisman, Hugo W.; Smith, Wayne; Schutte, Rudolph; Schutte, Aletta E. (Springer, 2016)Inadequate substrate availability and increased nitric oxide synthase inhibitor levels attenuate nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, whereas increased vascular oxidative stress may lead to inactivation of NO. We compared markers ...
