Riboflavin Lowers Blood Pressure: A Review of a Novel Gene-nutrient Interaction

Hypertension, defined as a systolic/diastolic blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or greater, is estimated to carry a three-fold increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Evidence from genome-wide association studies has identified an association between blood pressure and the gene encoding the folate-metabolising enzyme, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). Recent meta-ana...

Blood pressure in sleep disordered breathing.

AIMS To investigate blood pressure (BP) in children with sleep disordered breathing (SDB). METHODS BP was measured during single night polysomnography in 23 suspected SDB child patients with adenotonsillar hypertrophy, but without respiratory or heart failure, or coma. The age related changes of the observed BP were normalised to the BP index. The BP indices were examined in relation to SDB m...
