Vascular factors and markers of inflammation in offspring with a parental history of late-onset Alzheimer disease.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a complex disorder with a strong heritable component. Amyloid pathology, vascular factors, and inflammation are postulated to be involved in its pathogenesis, but causality has not been established unequivocally. ... Read more...

Preventing weight gain: one-year results of a randomized lifestyle intervention.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Lifestyle interventions targeting prevention of weight gain may have better long-term success than when aimed at weight loss. Limited evidence exists about such an approach in the primary care setting. DESIGN: An RTC was conducted. ... Read more...

Transcriptional upregulation of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 protects against oxidative stress-associated neurogenic hypertension.

15 Sep 2009 RATIONALE: Mitochondrial uncoupling proteins (UCPs) belong to a superfamily of mitochondrial anion transporters that uncouple ATP synthesis from oxidative phosphorylation and mitigates mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. OBJECTIVE: We ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Hypertension'

Definition: Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

Descriptor UI: D006973

Alternative terms: Hypertension; Blood Pressure, High; Blood Pressures, High; High Blood Pressure; High Blood Pressures;
