Significance: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signaling molecules that are important in
physiological processes, including host defense, aging, and cellular homeostasis. Increased …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signaling molecules that influence many physiological
processes. Increased ROS bioavailability and altered redox signaling (oxidative stress) have …

Objectives: Vascular deterioration is suggested to occur earlier in black than white
populations, thereby increasing their risk for developing hypertension. To establish whether …

Hypertension is one of the most important and complex risk factors for cardiovascular
diseases (CVDs). By using urinary peptidomics analyses, we aimed to identify peptides …

Introduction: Hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction and the subsequent increase
of oxidative stress could lead to aberrant regulation of various genes which are responsible …

Consistent reports indicate that hypertension is a particularly common finding in black
populations. Hypertension occurs at younger ages and is often more severe in terms of …

Background Although significant racial disparities in the surgical management of lower
extremity critical limb threatening ischemia have been previously reported, data on …

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a major enzyme that supplies the reducing agent
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen (NADPH), which is required to …

There is concern about the increasing burden of essential hypertension in urban–dwelling
black South Africans, especially males. Several studies have investigated urbanization and …

Enzyme treatment and fermentation of cereals are known processes that enhance the
release of bound bioactive compounds to make them available for bioactivity. In this study …
