Yoga – A promising technique to control cardiovascular disease

Adiponectin: a promising marker for cardiovascular disease.

Obesity is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Obese persons have an 1.5to 2.0-fold increased risk for CHD, and between 15% and 20% of all cases of CHD can be attributed to overweight and obesity (1 ). Although hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are core components of the metabolic syndrome and are probably key elements in the causal pathway fr...

PG F2α Receptor: A Promising Therapeutic Target for Cardiovascular Disease

Prostaglandins (PGs), a group of key lipid mediators, are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes including inflammation and cardiovascular homeostasis. Each PG acts on its specific and distinct cell surface G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Prostaglandin F(2α) receptor (FP) is required for female reproductive funct...

Investigating the Effect of Workplace Noise Exposure on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors: A Case-Control Study

Background and Aim: Occupational exposure to noise in the workplaces is a significant health problem and cardiovascular disease is one of the most important and common non-communicable diseases and one of the main causes of premature death. In addition to hearing impairments, noise as a stressor may cause cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, nerve stimulation, stress and hormonal dis...
