Journal ArticleDOI

Body fat distribution and insulin resistance in healthy Asian Indians and Caucasians.

TL;DR: For comparable BMI and age, healthy AIs have physiologic markers for insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and increased cardiovascular risk, compared with Caucasians, and Alterations in body fat distribution--particularly increased visceral fat--may contribute to these abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulation of plasminogen activator inhibitor in vivo by infusion of angiotensin II. Evidence of a potential interaction between the renin-angiotensin system and fibrinolytic function.

TL;DR: In vivo data suggest that infusion of Ang H results in a rapid increase in circulating levels of PAI-1, a finding that may help to explain clinical observations linking the renin-angiotensin system and thrombotic risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estradiol Therapy Combined With Progesterone and Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation in Postmenopausal Women

TL;DR: The addition of micronized progesterone does not attenuate the favorable effect of estradiol on endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and the vasoprotective effect of hormone replacement therapy may extend beyond its beneficial actions on lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased need for thyroxine during pregnancy in women with primary hypothyroidism.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the need for thyroxine increases in many women with primary hypothyroidism when they are pregnant, as reflected by an increase in serum thyrotropin concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin resistance and its potential role in pregnancy-induced hypertension.

TL;DR: It is suggested that interventions to reduce insulin resistance may reduce the risk of both hypertension in pregnancy and later life cardiovascular complications, and warrant further study.
