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...

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

Gene transfer of a novel vasoactive natriuretic peptide stimulates cGMP and lowers blood pressure in mice.

Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) is a recently described peptide produced by Dendroaspis angusticeps with structural and functional similarities to mammalian natriuretic peptides. These similarities suggest a potential role for DNP in cardiovascular therapeutics. To determine the physiological effects of chronic delivery of DNP, a gene transfer approach using first generation adenoviral ve...

Riboflavin lowers blood pressure in hypertensive people with the MTHFR 677TT genotype

Hypertension, defined as a systolic/diastolic blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg or greater, is estimated to carry a 3-fold increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), while treating hypertension significantly reduces CVD events, and stroke in particular. Among the many risk factors involved, there is much recent interest in the role of genetic factors that might predispose to hyperte...

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...
