Genome scan among Nigerians linking blood pressure to chromosomes 2, 3, and 19.
An understanding of the genetic influences on hypertension would help unravel the pathophysiology of this complex disorder and improve our understanding of causal mechanisms. Contemporary technology makes it possible to examine enough genetic markers to support a generalized search across the entire genome for candidate regions. In the present study, a family set was recruited from southwest Ni...
متن کاملTotal daily energy expenditure relative to resting energy expenditure in clinically stable patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND An elevated resting energy expenditure (REE) commonly occurs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an increased REE on total daily energy expenditure (TDE) in 20 patients with COPD (19 men) with mean (SD) forced expiratory volume in one second of 37 (14)% predicted. METHODS TDE was measured over a two week ...
متن کاملResting energy expenditure in cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis.
A proportion of patients with chronic airflow limitation appear to have a raised resting energy expenditure (REE). This has been suggested as the reason for weight loss which may occur in these patients. A previous study found an increased REE in patients with interstitial lung disease of mixed aetiology. We were interested in studying REE in a more homogeneous group, with cryptogenic fibrosing...
متن کاملResting energy expenditure in chronic cardiac failure.
1. Resting energy expenditure has previously been shown to be elevated in the acute phase of heart failure, but the situation in the compensated state of chronic cardiac failure is unclear. Resting energy expenditure was assessed in 14 patients with stable chronic cardiac failure and 14 matched control subjects by using indirect calorimetry. 2. Resting energy expenditure was significantly eleva...
متن کاملResting energy expenditure in morbid obesity.
Resting energy expenditure (REE) was measured in 112 morbidly obese adults prior to elective gastric bypass surgery. The patients studied ranged from 157 to 327% of ideal body weight. Standard nutritional assessment indices (serum total protein, albumin, total iron binding capacity, hematocrit, and white blood cell count) were within normal limits. REE was estimated by the Harris-Benedict formu...
