Stroke in Indigenous Africans, African Americans, and European Americans: Interplay of Racial and Geographic Factors.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relative contributions of racial and geographic factors to higher risk of stroke in people of African ancestry have not been unraveled. We compared stroke type and contributions of vascular risk factors among indigenous Africans (IA), African Americans (AA), and European Americans (EA). METHODS SIREN (Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network) is a large...
متن کاملHydrogenotrophic microbiota distinguish native Africans from African and European Americans.
Reduced susceptibility to sporadic colorectal cancer in native Africans (NA) is correlated with low consumption of animal products and greater microbial production of colonic methane. In this context, two hydrogenotrophic microbial groups are of interest, methanogenic Archaea (MA) utilizing H2 to produce methane and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) generating hydrogen sulfide, which has been lin...
متن کاملThe genetic structure and history of Africans and African Americans.
Africa is the source of all modern humans, but characterization of genetic variation and of relationships among populations across the continent has been enigmatic. We studied 121 African populations, four African American populations, and 60 non-African populations for patterns of variation at 1327 nuclear microsatellite and insertion/deletion markers. We identified 14 ancestral population clu...
متن کاملPredictors of recurrent stroke in African Americans.
BACKGROUND Stroke incidence and mortality are disproportionately higher among African Americans than among whites. OBJECTIVE To describe the recurrent stroke characteristics and determine the predictability of known vascular risk factors for stroke recurrence in African Americans. METHODS The authors followed 1,809 African Americans in the African-American Antiplatelet Stroke Prevention Stu...
متن کاملNicotine metabolism in African Americans and European Americans: variation in glucuronidation by ethnicity and UGT2B10 haplotype.
Nicotine is the major addictive agent in tobacco smoke, and it is metabolized extensively by oxidation and glucuronide conjugation. The contributions of ethnicity and UGT2B10 haplotype on variation in nicotine metabolism were investigated. Nicotine metabolism was evaluated in two populations of smokers. In one population of African American and European American smokers (n = 93), nicotine and i...
