Asymmetric dimethylarginine and symmetric dimethylarginine prospectively relates to carotid wall thickening in black men: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2017)The relationship of both asymmetric (ADMA) and symmetric (SDMA) dimethylarginine with carotid wall thickness is inconclusive especially among black populations. We aimed to compare carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and ... -
Change in renin, cardiovascular and inflammatory markers over three years in a black and white population: the SABPA study
(BioMed Central, 2017)Background: To investigate if percentage change (%Δ) in renin over a 3 year follow-up is associated with %Δ in cardiovascular and inflammatory markers in a low renin bi-ethnic group. Methods: Blood pressure, active renin, ... -
Die invloed van geslag, ras en sosio-ekonomiese status op visueel-motoriese integrasie van nege- tot 10-jarige leerders: die NW-CHILD studie
(Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns, 2017)Visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination skills have strong relationships with academic development and are considered to be some of the basic building blocks for optimal academic success. Pienaar ... -
IGF-1 and NT-proBNP in a black and white population: the SABPA study
(Wiley, 2016)Background Black populations exhibit lower concentrations of the cardioprotective peptide, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and are more prone to develop hypertensive heart disease than whites. We therefore determined ... -
The relationship of nitric oxide synthesis capacity, oxidative stress, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in black and white men: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2016)Inadequate substrate availability and increased nitric oxide synthase inhibitor levels attenuate nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, whereas increased vascular oxidative stress may lead to inactivation of NO. We compared markers ...
