Sixteen untreated black patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension and no evidence of target organ damage were matched for age, sex, casual blood pressure (BP), and socioeconomic status with 16 white hypertensives. All patients were studied under standardized conditions in the hospital where they

The impact of black-white differences in the prevalence of risk factors for coronary heart disease on the outcome of coronary bypass surgery has not been well defined. Preoperative status, coronary anatomy, and surgical results were reviewed in 54 black males operated on between December 1970 and

OBJECTIVE To assess the influences that obesity and hyperglycemia have on insulin action in black NIDDM patients. METHODS Thirty-nine subjects were studied who had normal GHb levels and/or FPG less than 6.4 mM and who had not taken pharmacological agents for 2-91 mo before the study. Insulin action

BACKGROUND Increased legalization of marijuana has resulted in renewed interest in its effects on body weight and cardiometabolic risk. Conflicting data exist regarding marijuana effects on body weight, waist circumference as well as lipid profiles, blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

Blacks have a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) that can be partly ascribed to the lower prevalent rates of some major components of MetS, namely the lower serum triglycerides and higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in blacks when compared with whites. Blacks manifest

OBJECTIVE To analyse the lipid profile of black patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM) irrespective of duration or control of the disease. METHODS This cross-sectional study evaluated the lipid profile of 62 black patients with type 2 DM. Clinical examination, fasting blood specimens for

The effect of anthocyanins extracted from black soybean (Glycine max L.) seed coats on body weight, adipose tissue weight, and serum lipids was evaluated in rats fed a high fat diet (HFD). Rats were raised on a normal diet (ND) (based on the AIN-93M diet), HFD (ND supplemented with 16% lard oil),

BACKGROUND Studies indicate that extracts and purified components from black cohosh inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells, but the molecular targets and signaling pathways have not yet been defined. OBJECTIVE This study examines the pharmacological mechanisms and toxicological effects in

Cord blood lipoproteins were quantitated in 117 neonates (58 white, 50 black) to assess for potential early expression of racial lipid distinctions. In comparison of black and white neonates there were no differences in total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (C-HDL),

Fat distribution and metabolic variables were studied in 8 black and 10 white age- and weight-matched obese women undergoing a 6-mo weight-reducing regimen. Fat patterning was determined by using anthropometry and computed tomography to quantitate total, subcutaneous, and visceral adipose tissue

Estrogen deficiency is associated with metabolic derangements in menopausal women. Black cohosh has been widely used as an alternative therapy in the treatment of menopausal syndrome. However, its role in metabolism needs to be defined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the long-term

OBJECTIVE To describe the distribution of plasma fibrinogen and relationships with other risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in the black population of the Cape Peninsula. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of a stratified proportional sample of randomly selected black men and

The association between lipids and both psychological and physiological measures were examined in this study of healthy black males. The results revealed that certain psychological measures, namely, State and Trait Curiosity and Trait Anger, explained a significant proportion of the variance in

Indian black tea; CTC leaf and dust, produced by Tata Tea Limited, Kolkata, (India) was studiedin vitro as potential scavenger of oxygen free radicals. Super oxide anions were generated in a system containing xanthine-xanthine oxidase (enzymic system) and by NADH- phenozine methosulphate (non

Blacks are known to have higher blood pressure levels, a higher prevalence of hypertension, and higher body weights than whites. However, the interrelationships of these and other cardiac risk factors have not been analyzed in an obese population. We compared blood pressure (BP) and lipid levels in
