Nitric oxide synthesis capacity, ambulatory blood pressure and end organ damage in a black and white population: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2016)
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis capacity is determined by the availability of substrate(s) such as l-arginine and the influence of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric ...
Retinal vessel caliber and its relationship with nocturnal blood pressure dipping status: the SABPA study
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Adverse changes in retinal microvasculature caliber are associated with incident hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. The absence of a nocturnal dipping in arterial pressure may induce changes throughout the ...
Antioxidant enzyme activity is associated with blood pressure and carotid intima media thickness in black men and women: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2016)
In the urbanized black population of South Africa, oxidative stress may play a crucial role in the development of hypertension. Since oxidative stress may result from impaired antioxidant capacity we aimed to investigate ...
Cardiovascular function is not associated with creatine kinase activity in a black African population: the SABPA study
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2016)
Background: Higher creatine kinase (CK) activity is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in
black African populations. We compared CK activity and investigated associations of blood pressure with CK ...
