Central systolic pressure and a nonessential amino acid metabolomics profile: the African prospective study on the early detection and identification of cardiovascular disease and hypertension
(Wolters Kluwer, 2019)Objectives: Early-life exposures to cardiovascular risk factors may manifest as early vascular ageing, a phenomenon to which black populations are more prone. The metabolome provides insight into the current state and ... -
Markers Of Arterial Stiffness And Urinary Metabolomics In Young Adults With Early Cardiovascular Risk: The African-Predict Study
(Springer, 2023)ntroduction Increased exposure to risk factors in the young and healthy contributes to arterial changes, which may be accompanied by an altered metabolism. Objectives To increase our understanding of early metabolic ... -
Probiotic treatment reduces depressive-like behaviour in rats independently of diet
(Elsevier, 2017)The gut microbiota has recently emerged as an important regulator of brain physiology and behaviour in animals, and ingestion of certain bacteria (probiotics) therefore appear to be a potential treatment for major depressive ... -
Urinary metabolomics, dietary salt intake and blood pressure: the African-PREDICT study
(Springer Nature, 2023)In Black populations excessive salt intake may exacerbate the genetic predisposition to hypertension and promote the early onset of cardiovascular disease. Ethnic differences in the interaction between sodium intake and ... -
Use of metabolomics to elucidate the metabolic perturbation associated with hypertension in a black South African male cohort: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)There is concern about the increasing burden of essential hypertension in urban–dwelling black South Africans, especially males. Several studies have investigated urbanization and hypertension in South Africans, but ...
