Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They develop over long periods of time, and are typically caused by multiple factors, and interaction with the environment. Proteomics allows ...
Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio is inversely related to nitric oxide synthesis in young black adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Nature, 2020)
Hypertension is common in black populations and is known to be associated with low nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. We compared plasma and urinary NO-related markers and plasma creatine kinase (CK) levels between young ...
Mean dietary salt intake in Nepal: a population survey with 24‐hour urine collections
(Wiley, 2020)
High salt (sodium chloride) intake raises blood pressure and increases the risk of developing hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Little is known about salt intake in Nepal, and no study has ...
The relationship of blood pressure with uric acid and bilirubin in young lean and overweight/obese men and women: the African-PREDICT study
(Nature, 2020)
Mounting evidence supports the central role of oxidative stress and inflammation in obesity and the development of hypertension. However, most studies focusing on the non-enzymatic antioxidants, such as uric acid and ...
An ethnic comparison of arginine dimethylation and cardiometabolic factors in healthy black and white youth: the ASOS and African-PREDICT studies
(MDPI, 2020)
Proteinic arginine dimethylation (PADiMe) is a major post-translational modification. Proteolysis of asymmetric and symmetric PADiMe products releases asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), ...

Salt and potassium intake among adult Ghanaians: WHO-SAGE Ghana Wave 3
(BMC, 2020)
Though Ghana has high hypertension prevalence, the country lacks current national salt consumption data required to build and enhance advocacy for salt reduction. We explored the characteristics of a randomly selected sub ...
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and morning surge in blood pressure in adult black and white South Africans
(Wiley, 2020)
We examined whether there were differences in the circadian variation in blood pressure and the morning surge in blood pressure between black and white Africans. Clinic and ambulatory blood pressure data obtained from the ...
