Journal ArticleDOI
Histochemical localization of IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA in the rat between birth and adulthood.
TL;DR: Demonstrable levels fall dramatically in the liver at 18-20 days postnatally but persist for longer periods in muscle and remain undiminished throughout life in the pia/choroid plexus, indicating that different control mechanisms operate in these tissues.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multilocus genetic risk score was proposed to refine coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction beyond classic risk scores and obtain more precise risk estimates using a prospective cohort design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longer Leukocyte Telomeres Are Associated with Ultra- Endurance Exercise Independent of Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Joshua Denham,Christopher P. Nelson,Brendan J. O’Brien,Scott A Nankervis,Matthew Denniff,Jack Harvey,Francine Z. Marques,Veryan Codd,Ewa Zukowska-Szczechowska,Nilesh J. Samani,Maciej Tomaszewski,Fadi J. Charchar,Fadi J. Charchar +12 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that regular engagement in ultra-endurance aerobic exercise attenuates cellular aging and is associated with shorter mean leukocyte telomere length.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of newly identified loci on coronary heart disease, stroke and total mortality in the MORGAM prospective cohorts.
Juha Karvanen,Kaisa Silander,Frank Kee,Laurence Tiret,Veikko Salomaa,Kari Kuulasmaa,Per-Gunnar Wiklund,Jarmo Virtamo,Olli Saarela,Claire Perret,Markus Perola,Leena Peltonen,François Cambien,Jeanette Erdmann,Nilesh J. Samani,Heribert Schunkert,Alun Evans +16 more
TL;DR: The findings underline the need for replication studies in prospective settings and confirm the candidacy of several SNPs that may play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease.
