Journal ArticleDOI
Charge transfer interaction and nonlinear optical properties of barium chloride and thiourea complexes: a vibrational spectroscopic study
TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear optical (NLO) semiorganic crystals barium thiourea chloride (BTC), bis(thienourea)barium chloride (BTBC), and barium tetrakisthiourea (BTTC) were grown by the slow evaporation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Triglyceride-containing lipoprotein sub-fractions and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke: A prospective analysis in 11,560 adults.
Roshni Joshi,S. Goya Wannamethee,Jorgen Engmann,Tom R. Gaunt,Debbie A Lawlor,Jackie F. Price,Olia Papacosta,Tina Shah,Therese Tillin,Nishi Chaturvedi,Mika Kivimäki,Diana Kuh,Meena Kumari,Alun D. Hughes,Juan P. Casas,Steve E. Humphries,Aroon D. Hingorani,A. Floriaan Schmidt,A. Floriaan Schmidt +18 more
TL;DR: Triglyceride sub-fractions are associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease but not stroke, with attenuation of effects on adjustment for HDL-C and LDL-C.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genetic instrument for Mendelian randomization of fibrinogen
TL;DR: There is statistical evidence for several functional sites in the fibrinogen gene cluster that determine an individual’s plasma fibr inogen levels, and a combination of several SNPs will provide a stronger instrument for fibrInogen Mendelian randomization studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of Common Genetic Variants With Age-Related Changes in Fasting and Postload Glucose Evidence From 18 Years of Follow-Up of the Whitehall II Cohort
Anders C. Jensen,Adam Barker,Meena Kumari,Eric J. Brunner,Mika Kivimäki,Aroon D. Hingorani,Nicholas J. Wareham,Adam G. Tabak,Daniel R. Witte,Claudia Langenberg +9 more
TL;DR: Common genetic variants contribute to the age-related rise of 2-h glucose levels, whereas associations of variants for fasting glucose are constant over time, in line with stable age trajectories of fasting glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multi-cohort study of polymorphisms in the GH/IGF axis and physical capability: the HALCyon programme.
Tamuno Alfred,Yoav Ben-Shlomo,Rachel Cooper,Rebecca Hardy,Cyrus Cooper,Cyrus Cooper,Ian J. Deary,Tom R. Gaunt,David Gunnell,Sarah E. Harris,Meena Kumari,Richard M. Martin,Avan Aihie Sayer,Avan Aihie Sayer,John M. Starr,Diana Kuh,Ian N. M. Day +16 more
TL;DR: Findings do not provide evidence for a substantial influence of these common polymorphisms in the GH/IGF axis on objectively measured physical capability levels in older adults.
