Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-wide scan for urinary albumin excretion in hypertensive families.

TL;DR: These analyses demonstrate the marked heritability of urine ACR in families enriched for the presence of members with essential hypertension and suggest that a gene(s) associated with urinary ACR may be present on human chromosomes 19 and 12.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for multiple determinants of the body mass index: the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study.

TL;DR: Genetic analysis revealed the presence of two maximum likelihood solutions, one characterized as a recessive Mendelian gene and the other as a major effect with an ambiguous transmission pattern, consistent with detection of two separate factors influencing the BMI distribution in a substantive manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of Hemodynamic and Vascular Filtration Changes in Diabetic Rats by Dietary myo-inositol

TL;DR: The observations indicate that diabetes-induced increases in regional blood flow, 131I-BSA permeation, GFR, and urinary protein excretion can be markedly reduced or normalized by consumption of myo-inositol-supplemented diets that raise plasmaMyo- inositol levels approximately fivefold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variability of Pulmonary Function in Alpha-1-Antitrypsin Deficiency: Residual Family Resemblance beyond the Effect of the Pi Locus

TL;DR: This investigation demonstrates the feasibility of dissecting residual familial effects on complex multifactorial traits in alpha 1-antitrypsin-deficient individuals and their families and indicates a drop in the importance of genetic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary Linolenic Acid Is Associated With a Lower Prevalence of Hypertension in the NHLBI Family Heart Study

TL;DR: Dietary linolenic acid is associated with a lower prevalence of hypertension and lower systolic blood pressure in white subjects, andLinoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, was not associated with prevalent hypertension or blood pressure.
