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 ...
L-Carnitine and long-chain acylcarnitines are positively correlated with ambulatory blood pressure in humans: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2013)
The prevalence of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa is increasing rapidly, and treatment remains challenging. Although the use of l-carnitine in treatment has received much attention, studies reporting on physiological ...
Adipokines and cardiometabolic function: how are they interlinked?
(Elsevier, 2010)
Objective
Adipokines contribute directly to the coexistence of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Most studies focus on a single adipokine. We therefore investigated the independent relationships of leptin, ...
End-organ damage in urbanized Africans with low plasma renin levels: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether active renin concentration is associated with markers of end-organ damage in urbanized Africans. This study forms part of the Sympathetic Activity and Ambulatory Blood ...
Blood pressure variability in risk stratification: What does it add?
(Wiley, 2014)
1. In this minireview we address the predictive value of blood pressure variability, over and beyond level of pressure, in randomly selected population samples. All reviewed studies had sufficient power, long follow-up ...
