The association between physical activity, blood pressure and renin in black African teachers : the SABPA study
(North-West University, 2011)Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine associations between physical activity (PA), blood pressure (BP) and renin in urban black Africans. Methods: The study sample included 137 urban African males (N=68) and ... -
Associations of central and peripheral blood pressure with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in healthy young adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Springer Nature, 2020)This study investigated associations of brachial and central blood pressure (BP) with detailed renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) components in a healthy young population stratified according to ethnicity and sex. ... -
The cardiovascular profile of the low renin phenotype in a black South African population
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Motivation Blood pressure is decreasing globally, however, the prevalence of hypertension continues to increase in Sub-Saharan African countries such as South Africa. Populations of African ancestry are more likely to ... -
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 ... -
Quantification of systemic renin-angiotensin system peptides of hypertensive black and white African men established from the RAS-Fingerprint
(Sage, 2016)Objective: The objective of this study was to make use of a quantitative and qualitative approach comparing the systemic renin-angiotensin system (RAS) of hypertensive black and white African men by using RAS equilibrium ... -
Relation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with potential cardiac injury and remodelling: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Purpose: The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in maintaining hemodynamic homeostasis. Ethnic disparities exist regarding RAAS activity due to sympathetic activity and sodium-water retention, ...
