Journal ArticleDOI
Blunted nocturnal cortisol rise is associated with higher carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) in overweight African American and Latino youth
Claudia M. Toledo-Corral,Samantha J. Myers,Yanjie Li,Howard N. Hodis,Michael I. Goran,Marc J. Weigensberg +5 more
TL;DR: The findings support adult studies suggesting flattened daytime diurnal cortisol variation impacts cardiovascular disease risk in overweight and obese minority children and support a low awakening salivary cortisol or a blunted NCR may be related to increased atherosclerosis risk in obese minority youth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended-Release Niacin Versus Fenofibrate in HIV-Infected Participants With Low High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: Effects on Endothelial Function, Lipoproteins, and Inflammation
Michael P. Dubé,Lauren Komarow,Carl J. Fichtenbaum,Joseph Cadden,Edgar T. Overton,Howard N. Hodis,Judith S. Currier,James H. Stein +7 more
TL;DR: Despite improvements in lipids, niacin or fenofibrate treatment for 24 weeks did not improve endothelial function or inflammatory markers in participants with well-controlled HIV infection and low HDL-C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of prior oophorectomy on changes in bone mineral density and carotid artery intima-media thickness in postmenopausal women.
TL;DR: As time from menopausal transition increases, retained ovaries are associated with a slower rate of bone loss and a slower rates of thickening of the carotid artery wall compared with rates in menopausal women with oophorectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential Effect of Plasma Estradiol on Subclinical Atherosclerosis Progression in Early vs Late Postmenopause.
Intira Sriprasert,Intira Sriprasert,Howard N. Hodis,Roksana Karim,Frank Z. Stanczyk,Donna Shoupe,Victor W. Henderson,Wendy J. Mack +7 more
TL;DR: The results support the timing hypothesis of HT initiation on cardiovascular benefit, with reduced atherosclerosis progression for initiation during early postmenopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of antihypertensive therapy on progression of carotid intima-media thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
TL;DR: Regular use of antihypertensive agents reduces the harmful impact of increased BP on atherosclerosis progression in patients with DM, and can be detected by CIMT progression using B-mode ultrasound in Patients with DM.
