8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine, reactive oxygen species and ambulatory blood pressure in African and Caucasian men: the SABPA study
Mels, C.M.C.; Schutte, A.E.; Schutte, R.; Pretorius, P.J.; Smith, W.; Huisman, H.W.; Van der Westhuizen, F.H.; Fourie, C.M.T.; Van Rooyen, J.M.; Kruger, R.; Louw, R.; Malan, N.T.; Malan, L. (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 ... -
Associations between reactive oxygen species, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans: the SABPA study
Kruger, R.; Schutte, R.; Huisman, H.W.; Van Rooyen, J.M.; Malan, N.T.; Fourie, C.M.T.; Louw, R.; Van der Westhuizen, F.H.; Van Deventer, C.A.; Malan, L.; Schutte, A.E. (Springer Nature, 2012)Many mechanisms, including oxidative stress, contribute to hypertension. This study investigated the possible associations between oxidative stress, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans. Ambulatory ... -
Blood glutathione and subclinical atherosclerosis in African men: the SABPA study
Schutte, Rudolph; Schutte, Aletta E.; Huisman, Hugo W.; Van Rooyen, Johannes M.; Malan, Nicolaas T.; Szabolcs, Péter; Fourie, Carla M.T.; Van der Westhuizen, Francois H.; Louw, Roan; Botha, Cindy A.; Malan, Leoné (Oxford Univ Press, 2009)Background: Sub-Saharan Africans face an increasing burden of hypertension and related cardiac and cerebrovascular morbidity and mortality, making the identification of factors leading to early vascular abnormalities ... -
Cardiometabolic markers to identify cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-infected black South Africans
Van Rooyen, J.M.; Fourie, C.M.T.; Steyn, H.S.; Koekemoer, G.; Huisman, H.W.; Schutte, R.; Malan, L.; Glyn, M.; Smith, W.; Mels, C. (SA Medical Association, 2014)BACKGROUND: The prevalence of HIV is the highest in sub-Saharan Africa; South Africa (SA) is one of the most affected countries with the highest number of adults living with HIV infection in the world. Besides the traditional ... -
Defensive active coping facilitates chronic hyperglycaemia and endothelial dysfunction in African men: the SABPA study
Malan, L.; Hamer, M.; Steyn, H.S.; Schutte, R.; Smith, W.; Van Rooyen, J.M.; Fourie, C.M.T.; Malan, N.T. (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 ... -
L-Carnitine and long-chain acylcarnitines are positively correlated with ambulatory blood pressure in humans: the SABPA study
Mels, Catharina M. C.; Schutte, Aletta E.; Erasmus, Elardus; Huisman, Hugo W.; Schutte, Rudolph; Fourie, Carla M.T.; Kruger, Ruan; Van Rooyen, Johannes M.; Smith, Wayne; Malan, Nicolaas T.; Malan, Leoné (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 ... -
A significant decline in IGF-I may predispose young Africans to subsequent cardiometabolic vulnerability
Schutte, Aletta E.; Huisman, Hugo W.; Van Rooyen, Johannes M.; Malan, Leoné; Malan, Nicolaas T.; Fourie, Catharina M.T.; Louw, Roan; Van der Westhuizen, Francois H.; Schutte, Rudolph (Oxford Univ Press, 2010)Objectives: Low serum IGF-I is an independent risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These noncommunicable diseases are extremely common in urban black South Africans, but their IGF-I concentration is unknown. ...
