Blood viscosity plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Under normal
physiological conditions, blood viscosity is kept at a relatively stable level by a variety of …

According to previous studies of obesity, we found that the association between
homocysteine concentrations and obesity was reported controversially. Thus, we carried out …

The rheological characterization of human blood, through modeling and analysis of steady
state, transient, and oscillatory shear flows, has made tremendous progress recently. Due to …

Objective Numerous studies have explored the role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase
gene (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and homocysteine (Hcy) concentration in obesity, but …

Blood and plasma viscosity are the major factors affecting blood flow and normal circulation.
Whole blood viscosity is mainly affected by plasma viscosity, red blood cell deformability …

AIM OF THE STUDY: To investigate the effects of centipede acidic protein (CAP) on
atherosclerotic rats and the mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Male …

In pulse wave analysis, the changing curve of pulse wave strength with continuous
increasing pressure, that is, the PS (pressure-strength) curve, contains abundant human …

Objective. To investigate the plasma viscosity in young women with polycystic ovary
syndrome (PCOS). Design. Patients with PCOS and healthy controls were assessed for …

Background: Some epidemiological studies have found anthropometric indices to be related
to cardiovascular disease risk factors. Fibrinogen–an acute phase reactant protein–is central …

Background: Recent evidences have shown that obesity may affect homocysteine
concentration. In addition, other studies reported that migraine is associated with high …
