8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine, reactive oxygen species and ambulatory blood pressure in African and Caucasian men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Various studies indicate a relationship between increased oxidative stress and hypertension, resulting in increased DNA damage and consequent excretion of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). The aim of this study ... -
Defensive active coping facilitates chronic hyperglycaemia and endothelial dysfunction in African men: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)Background: Dissociation between behavioural defensive active coping (AC) control albeit physiological “loss of control” responses was associated with silent ischaemia and structural wall abnormalities in African men. Whether ... -
Exploring the link between serum peroxides and angiogenesis in a bi-ethnic population from South Africa: the SAfrEIC study
(Elsevier, 2013)Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a fundamental role in angiogenesis, and in turn, angiogenic growth factors also affect ROS. Angiogenesis and ROS are intricately involved in vascular deterioration. Since ... -
Leukocyte telomere length and hemostatic factors in a South African cohort: the SABPA study
(Wiley, 2014)Background Incident atherothrombotic disease is predicted by leukocyte telomere length, a marker of biological age, and hemostatic factor levels, indicating a hypercoagulable state. We hypothesized that shorter telomeres ... -
Liggaamsamestelling en rustende metaboliese tempo (RMT) in 25 tot 35 jarige vroue van gemengde herkoms en Kaukasiër vroue : 'n profielontleding
(University of Stellenbosch, 2013)Obesity is a rapid growing epidemic worldwide, affecting more women, especially black and coloured women (women of mixed ancestry) in South Africa. Limited research regarding the body composition and resting metabolic rate ... -
The defense response and alcohol intake: a coronary artery disease risk: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The behavioral defense coping response (DefS) as a measure of coping with emotional stress may increase alcohol intake (gamma glutamyl transferase (γGT)), the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and insulin sensitivity ... -
Troponin T release is associated with silent myocardial ischaemia in black men: the SABPA study
(Sage, 2017)Background High sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is a validated marker of myocardial damage and may reflect the degree of silent myocardial ischaemia (SMI) and ventricular strain. Our aim was to compare hs-cTnT ...
