Hyperpulsatile pressure, systemic inflammation and cardiac stress are associated with cardiac wall remodeling in an African male cohort: the SABPA study
(Nature, 2016)Inflammation may contribute to an increase in cardiac wall stress through pathways related to cardiac remodeling. Cardiac remodeling is characterized by myocyte hypertrophy, myocyte death and modifications of the extracellular ... -
Implementing a new variant load model to investigate the role of mtDNA in oxidative stress and inflammation in a bi-ethnic cohort: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation has been implicated in several common complex and degenerative diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Inflammation is seen as part of many of these conditions. Mitochondria feature ... -
Insult to injury-potential contribution of coronavirus disease-19 to neuroinflammation and the development of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2020)Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus (CoV)-2 is responsible for a new coronavirus disease known as coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 reports neurotropic properties and may have neurological ... -
Iron and a mixture of DHA and EPA supplementation, alone and in combination, affect bioactive lipid signalling and morbidity of iron deficient South African school children in a two-by-two randomised controlled trial
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2016)We recently reported that iron supplementation increased respiratory morbidity in iron deficient South African children. This increase, however, was attenuated when iron was provided in combination with a mixture of DHA/EPA. ... -
The effects of beetroot juice supplementation on indices of muscle damage following eccentric exercise
(Springer, 2016)Purpose Foods rich in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals might attenuate skeletal muscle damage; thus, the present study investigated whether consuming an antioxidant rich beetroot juice would attenuate the ...
