Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary soy has both beneficial and potentially adverse cardiovascular effects: a placebo-controlled study in men and postmenopausal women.
Helena J. Teede,Fabien S Dalais,Dimitra Kotsopoulos,Yu-Lu Liang,Susan R. Davis,Barry P McGrath +5 more
TL;DR: In normotensive men and postmenopausal women, soy improved BP and lipids but, overall, did not improve vascular function, and the arterial functional model demonstrated no difference between groups; although again, overall function improved in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-invasive measurements of arterial structure and function: repeatability, interrelationships and trial sample size.
Yu-Lu Liang,Helena J. Teede,Dimitra Kotsopoulos,Louise Shiel,James D. Cameron,Anthony M. Dart,Barry P McGrath +6 more
TL;DR: Under controlled experimental conditions there was good repeatability of measurements of indices between sessions of both intrinsic and functional arterial mechanical properties (central and carotid arterial compliance, intima-media thickness and brachial flow-mediated dilation).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence that parenteral testosterone therapy may improve endothelium-dependent and-independent vasodilation in postmenopausal women already receiving estrogen
TL;DR: The preliminary data indicate that parenteral testosterone therapy improves both endothelial-dependent (flow-mediated) and endothelium-independent (GTN) brachial artery vasodilation in postmenopausal women using long-term estrogen therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Blood Pressure, Smoking, and Their Interaction on Carotid Artery Structure and Function
Yu-Lu Liang,Louise Shiel,Helena J. Teede,Dimitra Kotsopoulos,John J McNeil,James D. Cameron,Barry P McGrath +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, carotid artery wall remodeling appears to follow Laplace’s law but is insufficient to prevent an increase in circumferential stress in hypertensive subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postmenopausal Hormone Replacement Therapy Increases Coagulation Activity and Fibrinolysis
Helena J. Teede,Barry P McGrath,Joseph J Smolich,Erica Malan,Dimitra Kotsopoulos,Yu-Lu Liang,Roger E. Peverill +6 more
TL;DR: Coagulation activation may partly explain the increases in venous thrombosis and cardiovascular events reported with the use of combined HRT, and there were no associations between changes in hemostatic markers and lipids after treatment.
