Adrenergic responsiveness in prehypertensive subjects.
To determine if alterations in adrenergic activity precede hypertension, we evaluated the pressor effect of an alpha agonist (phenylephrine) and the chronotropic effect of a beta agonist (isoproterenol) in prehypertensive young men. The subjects were selected from a 5-year follow-up of individuals in the upper ("high") and lower ("low") deciles of the blood pressure distribution in a high schoo...

متن کاملParaoxonase and Arylesterase Activities in Dipper and Non-Dipper Prehypertensive Subjects
Paraoxonase-1, a high-density lipoprotein linked enzyme complex, was shown to be decreased in several cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to explore whether serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities differ in dipper and non-dipper prehypertensive subjects compared to healthy controls.Sixty prehypertensive subjects and 30 controls were enrolled. All subjects underwent echocardiographic assessm...
متن کاملDefense mechanisms in a sample of non-psychiatric obese subjects.
The aim was to assess the prevalent defense mechanisms in a sample of obese subjects; since specific defensive styles may interfere with the management of stressors and emotions, they may also influence the onset, the severity, and the maintenance of obesity. 70 obese subjects and 70 healthy normal-weight volunteers were assessed using the Defense Mechanisms Inventory -- DMI. Significant differ...
