Journal ArticleDOI
Response of Ambulatory Blood Pressure to Antihypertensive Therapy Guided by Clinic Pressure
TL;DR: The objective of this prospective study was to define the limits below which ambulatory blood pressure does not decrease in patients with essential hypertension, when the decision to institute and intensify drug treatment is based on conventional blood pressure measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Downregulation of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase by Angiotensin II in Cardiac Fibroblasts of Rats: Association With Oxidative Stress in Myocardium
TL;DR: The data indicate that ANG II inactivates FOXO3a by activating Akt, leading to a reduction in the expression of the antioxidant Mn-SOD, and thereby potentially contributing to oxidative stress in the myocardium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitual physical activity, training, and blood pressure in normo- and hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in creatinine clearance between twins who both had LBW as compared with twins whoBoth had a high birth weight, which may suggest that maternal factors, which influence the relation between LBW and renal function, are less important.
