The aim of the study was to determine whether genetically raised fasting glucose (FG) levels are associated with blood pressure (BP) in healthy children and adolescents. We used 11 common genetic variants of FG discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including the rs560887 single-...
Changes in blood pressure with age. A descriptive analysis based on a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study of Norwegian men, 15-70 years of age. The present study is the first to examine long-term longitudinal changes in stress-related reactivity for both blood pressure and negative affect...
blood can flow normally in the blood vessels. As a result, diseases such as pulmonary hypertension disappear, and the burden on the heart also dissipates. In addition, the legs and feet no longer
The aims of this study were to explore the effect of (I) a 2 % CO 2 atmosphere, and (II) of a night-work shift every other day, on the following circadian rhythms: oral temperature, peak expiratory flow, grip strength, arterial blood pressure, speed and urinary pH, volume and ...
A team of scientists at Boston University's School of Medicine studied more than 740,000 inpiduals who had previously suffered from high blood pressure. Using health questionnaires administered over the last 30 years, the scientists measured yogurt intake and weighed it against heart-related health ...

Plasma concentrations of melatonin and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (6-SMT), the main hepatic melatonin metabolite, were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results A progressive increase in plasma melatonin concentrations was observed from 20 min ...
Further adjustment for smoking, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure and HOMA-IR had little effect on this association (B = 0.512, 95% CI 0.099–0.925, p = 0.015, Model 3). However, additional adjustment for IL-6 attenuated the association by 17%...
