Nitric oxide-related markers link inversely to blood pressure in black boys and men: the ASOS and African-PREDICT studies
(Springer, 2020)
Nitric oxide plays an important role in maintaining endothelial function, while increased oxidative stress may lead to nitric oxide inactivation and cardiovascular disease. If nitric oxide biosynthesis/bioavailability is ...
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 ...
Antioxidant enzyme activity is associated with blood pressure and carotid intima media thickness in black men and women: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2016)
In the urbanized black population of South Africa, oxidative stress may play a crucial role in the development of hypertension. Since oxidative stress may result from impaired antioxidant capacity we aimed to investigate ...
