Chronic depression symptoms desensitize renin activity to protect against volume-loading hypertension in Blacks: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background Low-renin levels in Blacks have been associated with volume-loading hypertension (HT). Depression symptoms, frequently co-occurring with vascular dysregulation, might reflect a disturbed renin-angiotensin-ald ... -
Comparing markers of the nitric oxide cycle and their association with ambulatory blood pressure and end organ damage in a bi–ethnic population : a SABPA–study
(North-West University, 2012)Aims There is a high prevalence of hypertension in the African population and it is known that vascular dysfunction (including nitric oxide (NO) bio-availability markers) play an important role in the development of ... -
The metabolic syndrome and renal function in an African cohort infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus for at least 5 years
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Motivation: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is increasingly prevalent in South Africa, with approximately 6.12 million people living with HIV. As a result of the high infection rate, South Africa has the largest ... -
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 ...
