Blood pressure, body fat, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate variation in adolescence.
Several significant interrelations among variation in blood pressure, body fat, and adrenal androgen levels, as assessed by serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate concentrations, were found in black male and female adolescents, aged 12 to 16 years. In girls, high levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were associated with significantly higher levels of blood pressure (alpha = 0.05), even after ...
متن کاملSex differences in the contributions of visceral and total body fat to blood pressure in adolescence.
Excess body fat deposited viscerally rather than elsewhere in the body is associated with higher risk for hypertension; this relationship is stronger in men than in women. Here we investigated whether similar sex dimorphism exists already in adolescence. A population-based sample of adolescent boys (n=237) and girls (n=262), age 12 to 18 years, was studied. Total body fat (TBF) was assessed wit...
متن کاملBody fat and blood pressure: comparison of blood pressure measurements in Chinese children with different body fat levels.
Children in China are experiencing a rapid increase in the prevalence of obesity, which is associated with hypertension. To compare the effect of body fat on blood pressure (BP) with that of the normal physical growth, we compared BP levels in Chinese children with different body fat levels. In the present population-based study, 13 972 children in the highest-skinfold-thickness-quartile group ...
متن کاملBlood pressure, body composition, and fat tissue cellularity in adults.
While total body mass has been recognized for many years as having a strong positive association with blood pressure, it is not known whether body mass per se is important in this association or if a component of total mass, such as lean body mass or total body fat, is responsible for the relationship. To determine the relative importance of these components, 217 healthy adults unselected with ...
متن کاملSerum dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and pregnenolone sulfate concentrations in patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
BACKGROUND Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) have been suggested to have protective effects against cardiovascular disease, cancer, immune-modulated diseases, and aging. We examined serum concentrations of DHEA, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone sulfate (PREG-S) in patients with thyroid dysfunction. METHODS Steroids extracted with methanol from serum sample were...
