Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic stress accelerates atherosclerosis in the apolipoprotein E deficient mouse.
Meena Kumari,Cairistine Grahame-Clarke,Nola Shanks,Michael Marmot,Stafford L. Lightman,Patrick Vallance +5 more
TL;DR: The effects of a chronic psychological stress protocol on the development of atherosclerosis in the apolipoprotein E knockout mouse are examined to suggest that chronic mild stress can induce or accelerate theDevelopment of Atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the cDNA and encoded protein of the human testis‐specific PGK‐2 gene
John R. McCarrey,Meena Kumari,Mary Jo Aivaliotis,Zhiqiang Wang,Peter L. Zhang,Frey Marshall,John L. VandeBerg +6 more
TL;DR: This work has isolated a cDNA of the human PGK-2 gene and used this as probe to demonstrate that transcription of this gene in spermatocytes and sper matids coincides with a period of repressed transcription of the X-linked PGk-1 gene during sperMatogenesis in the human testis.

TL;DR: No evidence is found for serum 25(OH)D concentration as a causal factor for cognitive performance in mid-to later life for hypovitaminosis D patients.

TL;DR: Both multivariable standard regression analysis and Mendelian randomization analysis suggest that the association of CRP with carotid atheroma indexed by CIMT may not be causal.

TL;DR: For a given BMI, a gene variant associated with increased cigarette consumption was associated with increase waist circumference, suggesting that smoking in an effort to control weight may lead to accumulation of central adiposity.
