Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in the renin-angiotensin system and abdominal adiposity in men: the Olivetti Prospective Heart Study.
Pasquale Strazzullo,Roberto Iacone,Licia Iacoviello,Ornella Russo,Gianvincenzo Barba,Paola Russo,Andria D'Orazio,Antonio Barbato,Francesco P. Cappuccio,Eduardo Farinaro,Alfonso Siani +10 more
TL;DR: The relationship of overweight, obesity, and body fat distribution to three common polymorphisms of the reninangiotensin system is investigated in adult men who attended the 19941995 follow-up examination of the Olivetti Prospective Heart Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of waist circumference to blood pressure: the Olivetti heart study
Alfonso Siani,Francesco P. Cappuccio,Gianvincenzo Barba,Maurizio Trevisan,Eduardo Farinaro,Roberto Iacone,Ornella Russo,Paola Russo,Mario Mancini,Pasquale Strazzullo +9 more
TL;DR: In middle-aged men, a central distribution of body fat is associated with increased BP, independently of body mass index and insulin resistance, thus suggesting a key role of central adiposity in the full expression of the "metabolic syndrome."
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormalities of renal sodium handling in the metabolic syndrome. Results of the Olivetti Heart Study
Pasquale Strazzullo,Antonio Barbato,Ferruccio Galletti,Gianvincenzo Barba,Alfonso Siani,Roberto Iacone,Lanfranco D'Elia,Ornella Russo,Marco Versiero,Eduardo Farinaro,Francesco P. Cappuccio +10 more
TL;DR: The relationship of MS and its components to renal tubular sodium handling among participants of the Olivetti Heart Study, an epidemiological investigation of a representative sample of adult white male population in southern Italy, was associated with an increased rate of FPRNa.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-circulating leptin levels are associated with greater risk of hypertension in men independently of body mass and insulin resistance: results of an eight-year follow-up study.
Ferruccio Galletti,Lanfranco D'Elia,Gianvincenzo Barba,Alfonso Siani,Francesco P. Cappuccio,Eduardo Farinaro,Roberto Iacone,Ornella Russo,D. De Palma,Renato Ippolito,Pasquale Strazzullo +10 more
TL;DR: In this sample of originally normotensive men, circulating LPT level was a significant predictor of the risk to develop hypertension over 8 yr, independently of BMI and insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating leptin levels predict the development of metabolic syndrome in middle-aged men: an 8-year follow-up study
Ferruccio Galletti,Antonio Barbato,Marco Versiero,Roberto Iacone,Ornella Russo,Gianvincenzo Barba,Alfonso Siani,Francesco P. Cappuccio,Eduardo Farinaro,Elisabetta Della Valle,Pasquale Strazzullo +10 more
TL;DR: In this sample of an adult male population free of MS at baseline, circulating plasma leptin was a significant predictor of the risk of MS and, in particular, of its high BP and IFG components, independently of potential confounders.
