Adipokines and cardiometabolic function: how are they interlinked?
Schutte, Aletta Elisabeth; Huisman, Hugo Willem; Schutte, Rudolph; Van Rooyen, Johannes Marthinus; Malan, Leoné; Fourie, Catharina Maria Theresia; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor (Elsevier, 2010)Objective Adipokines contribute directly to the coexistence of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Most studies focus on a single adipokine. We therefore investigated the independent relationships of leptin, ... -
Arterial stiffness profiles: investigating various sections of the arterial tree of African and caucasian people
Huisman, Hugo Willem; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor; Schutte, Aletta Elisabeth; Schutte, Rudolph; Van Rooyen, Johannes Marthinus; Malan, Leoné; Reimann, Manja (Informa healthcare, 2011)In Africans, arterial stiffness progression seems more pronounced compared to Caucasians. We compared the arterial stiffness profiles of different age groups and focused on muscular arteries and two more central arterial ... -
Comparison of Telomere Length in Black and White Teachers From South Africa: the Sympathetic Activity and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Africans Study
Von Kanel, Roland; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor; Hamer, Mark; Malan, Leoné (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)Objective: Telomere length is a marker of biological aging that has been linked to cardiovascular disease risk. The black South African population is witnessing a tremendous increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular ... -

Ethnic disparity in defensive coping endothelial responses: the SABPA study
Scheepers, Jacobus De Wet; Malan, Leoné; De Kock, Andrea; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor; Cockeran, Marike; Von Känel, Roland (Elsevier, 2015)Objectives: Defensive coping (DefS) in Blacks has been associated with greater cardiovascular risk than in their White counterparts. We examined associations between endothelial function mental stress responses and markers ... -
Hypercoagulation and hyperkinetic blood pressure indicative of physiological loss-of-control despite behavioural control in Africans: the SABPA study
Scheepers, Jacobus De Wet; Malan, Leoné; De Kock, Andrea; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor; Cockeran, Marike; Von Känel, Roland (Taylor & Francis, 2016)Objectives: A dissociation between behavioural (in-control) and physiological parameters (indicating loss-of-control) is associated with cardiovascular risk in defensive coping (DefS) Africans. We evaluated relationships ... -
Hyperpulsatile pressure, systemic inflammation and cardiac stress are associated with cardiac wall remodeling in an African male cohort: the SABPA study
Jansen van Vuren, Esmé; Malan, Leoné; Von Känel, Roland; Cockeran, Marike; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor (Nature, 2016)Inflammation may contribute to an increase in cardiac wall stress through pathways related to cardiac remodeling. Cardiac remodeling is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy, myocyte death and modifications of the extracellular ... -
The usefulness of Y-glutamyltransferase as a marker of cardiovascular function in Africans and caucasians: the SABPA study
Huisman, Hugo Willem; Schutte, Rudolph; Schutte, Aletta Elisabeth; Van Rooyen, Johannes Marthinus; Malan, Nicolaas Theodor; Fourie, Catharina Maria Theresia; Glyn, Matthew Colin Patrick; Malan, Leoné (Informa HealthcareTaylor & Francis, 2012)Aim. Serum γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) is increasingly regarded as a marker of vascular function. However, the usefulness of this marker is in dispute. Gender and ethnic differences, as well as the serum level range where ...
