Mitochondrial genetic background modifies breast cancer risk.
Inefficient mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) function has been implicated in the vicious cycle of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that may predispose an individual to late onset diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations may affect the efficiency of ETC and ROS production, thus contributing to cancer risk. To test this hypothe...
متن کاملGenetic variation modifies risk for neurodegeneration based on biomarker status
BACKGROUND While a great deal of work has gone into understanding the relationship between Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, brain atrophy, and disease progression, less work has attempted to investigate how genetic variation modifies these relationships. The goal of this study was two-fold. First, we sought to identify high-risk vs. low-risk individuals based on their CSF tau and Aβ load a...
متن کاملSignificantly Increased Visceral Adiposity Index in Prehypertension
BACKGROUND The prevalence of prehypertension has increased in China, and prehypertension frequently progress to hypertension over a short time period; both have become public health problems. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between the Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) and blood pressure (BP) in China. METHODS A cross-sectional epidemiological survey was conduct...
متن کاملPeripheral adiposity and cardiovascular risk.
To the Editor: In their recent Circulation article describing a study of older Danish women, Tankó et al1 presented strong evidence that peripheral localization of fat mass is associated with reduced calcification in the aorta. This interesting finding leads one to ask whether all anatomic sites of peripheral fat contribute equally to the apparent protective effect. Several studies have previou...
متن کاملDietary and genetic probes of atherogenic dyslipidemia.
A goal of dietary management of cardiovascular disease risk in patients with obesity and metabolic syndrome is improvement in the atherogenic dyslipidemia comprising elevated triglyceride, reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and increased numbers of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Individuals with a genetically influenced trait characterized by a high propo...
