Large artery stiffness is associated with marinobufagenin in young adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)
Objectives: The cardiotonic steroid, marinobufagenin (MBG), has been shown to play a physiological natriuretic role in response to salt intake. However, recent studies in clinical and animal models demonstrated possible ...
Leptin and the retinal microvasculature in young black and white adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2020)
Background
Leptin is a vasoactive peptide that has been linked to diseases associated with macrovascular deterioration. What is still uncertain is its involvement in the microvasculature. Since microvascular changes are ...
Leptin and the vasculature in young adults: the African‐PREDICT study
(Wiley, 2019)
Background and aim
Information regarding the effect of leptin on the vasculature in young healthy adults at risk for cardiovascular disease development is limited. We therefore examined the associations between measures ...
Large artery stiffness is associated with salt intake in young healthy black but not white adults: the African-PREDICT study + Correction to article
(Springer, 2018)
Purpose
There is global consensus on the benefits of reducing excessive salt intake. Indeed, lower salt intake associates with reduced arterial stiffness, a well-established predictor of cardiovascular risk, in older ...
