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 ... -
The association of PAI-1 with 24 h blood pressure in young healthy adults is influenced by smoking and alcohol use: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2020)Background and aims The association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and blood pressure is well established, but it is debatable whether raised PAI-1 levels precede or result from raised blood pressure. ... -
Can ambulatory blood pressure measurements substitute assessment of subclinical cardiovascular damage?
(Kluwer, 2012)Objective: We have previously demonstrated that markers of subclinical organ damage (SOD) improve cardiovascular risk prediction in healthy individuals. We wanted to investigate whether this additive effect of SOD was due ... -
Do we really know how common hypertension is?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)For over a century the use of brachial blood pressures in determining cardiovascular risk has been a cornerstone of medical practices globally. Clear evidence confirms that increased blood pressure results in stroke, heart ... -
Hypertension types defined by clinic and ambulatory blood pressure in 14143 patients referred to hypertension clinics worldwide. Data from the ARTEMIS study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)Objective: The Ambulatory blood pressure Registry TEleMonitoring of hypertension and cardiovascular rISk project was designed to set up an international registry including clinic blood pressure (CBP) and ambulatory blood ... -
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 ... -
The link between vascular deterioration and branched chain amino acids in a population with high glycated haemoglobin: the SABPA study
(Springer Link, 2013)Globally the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes, are escalating. Metabolomic studies indicated that circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with insulin ... -
Serum selenium levels, the selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase and vascular protection: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2018)Selenium is an important co-factor for the optimal functioning of the antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Studies investigating the associations of selenium with blood pressure (BP) and hemodynamic measures ... -
Silent ischemia is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in African males: the sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans study
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)Silent myocardial ischemia is a predictor of subclinical atherosclerosis driven by increased cardiovascular risk markers, although still unknown in Africans. The aim of this study was to assess if cardiovascular risk markers ...
