Angiotensin II receptor blockade and insulin sensitivity in overweight and obese adults with elevated blood pressure
… in overweight and obese individuals with elevated blood pressure (BP). Olmesartan was selected for the present study because it is devoid of partial PPARγ agonist activity. To test our hypothesis, intravenous glucose tolerance tests were performed to measure insulin sensitivity before and …

The association between blood pressure and vascular characteristics in children
… number of studies have investigated the role elevated blood pressure plays in pediatric atherosclerotic progression. However these studies contain significant methodological flaws and fail to recognize important confounding factors. Therefore, the influence of elevated blood pressure on …

Depression and metabolic syndrome across epidemiological transition
… at least three of the following criteria: elevated blood pressure, low HDL(High- Density Lipoprotein), elevated triglycerides, or high glucose. Depression was assessed using the CES-D scale (score ≥16 indicating depressive symptoms). Depression was assessed only at follow-up (2019), while …

Hypertension Screening of Commercial Divers from an Occupational Medicine Perspective
… regular "work-site" physical exams, including blood pressure checks, on at least a weekly basis. Although some blood pressures measured during such regular checks were elevated, the diagnosis and management of blood pressure was outside the scope of that occupational medicine program. As a …

Prevalence of Hypertension Among Low-Income Individuals in Muscogee County Columbus, Georgia
… investigates the prevalence and predictors of elevated blood pressure (BP) among 409 low-income adults in Muscogee County, Columbus, Georgia—a population disproportionately burdened by hypertension. The findings reveal that elevated BP is significantly more prevalent among African Americans …

Cocaine Induces Apoptosis in Coronary Artery Endothelial Cells: Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms
… such as depressed myocardial contractility, elevated blood pressure, coronary artery vasoconstriction, and myocardial ischemia and infarction. The multifactorial effects of cocaine often contribute to its sympathomimetic function. However, the direct cytotoxic effects of cocaine on the …

Corticosteroid hormone action in the cardiovascular system
… but not glucocorticoids are involved in elevated blood pressure in essential hypertension and that Spiro treatment results in compensatory activation of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS), whereas glucocorticoid secretion and metabolism remain unchanged. In summary, these data …

Cardiovascular effects of lead and mercury and their mixtures in rats
… health of the rats was assessed by measuring the blood pressure and the cardiac electrical activity after four weeks of exposure, while the heart function and blood flow in the carotid artery was measured at baseline and at the end of the exposure duration. The study showed that all three metals …

Effects of α1-receptor blockade on the hemodynamic responses to exercise in young normotensives and hypertensives
… (HTN-p, NTN-p). At rest, HTN-p exhibited an elevated cardiac output (Q, p=.024) and MAP (p=.007). Resting Q was similar for HTN-α and NTN-α. Resting heart rate (HR) was elevated more in HTN-α than NTNα (p=.013) and not different for placebo. Resting and exercise forearm blood flows were …
