Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Sodium, Adiposity, and Inflammation in Healthy Adolescents
Haidong Zhu,Norman K. Pollock,Ishita Kotak,Bernard Gutin,Xiaoling Wang,Jigar Bhagatwala,Samip Parikh,Gregory A. Harshfield,Yanbin Dong +8 more
TL;DR: The mean sodium consumption of healthy white and African American adolescents is as high as that of adults and more than twice the daily intake recommended by the American Heart Association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: Clinical Features and Therapeutic Management
Satish S.C. Rao,Jigar Bhagatwala +1 more
TL;DR: The SIBO landscape is poised for transformation through improved awareness and scientific rigor, and limited numbers of controlled studies have shown systemic antibiotics to be efficacious.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent Fiber Consumption Is Associated with Visceral Fat and Inflammatory Markers
Samip Parikh,Norman K. Pollock,Jigar Bhagatwala,De Huang Guo,Bernard Gutin,Haidong Zhu,Yanbin Dong +6 more
TL;DR: Investigating associations of dietary fiber intake with inflammatory-related biomarkers and robust measures of total and central adiposity in a sample of 559 adolescents suggests that greater consumption of dietary Fiber is associated with lower visceral adiposity and multiple biomarkers implicated in inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial stiffness and pulse-pressure amplification in overweight/obese African-American adolescents: relation with higher systolic and pulse pressure.
Gary L. Pierce,Haidong Zhu,Katherine Darracott,Itoro Edet,Jigar Bhagatwala,Ying Huang,Yanbin Dong +6 more
TL;DR: Higher aortic stiffness is associated with smaller PP amplification with increasing adiposity in African-American adolescents, and after adjustment for age, sex, heart rate, height, and MAP, CF-PWV was positively correlated, and CR-PwV and PP amplification were negatively correlated, with total and abdominal/hip adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations are correlated with cardiometabolic risk among American black and white adolescents living in a year-round sunny climate.
Samip Parikh,De Huang Guo,Norman K. Pollock,Karen Petty,Jigar Bhagatwala,Bernard Gutin,Chris Houk,Haidong Zhu,Yanbin Dong +8 more
TL;DR: Circulating 25(OH)D concentrations are associated with various adverse cardiometabolic risk factors, independent of adiposity, and clinical trials addressing the effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardiometric risk are warranted in adolescents irrespective of their geographical regions.
