Journal Article
Contraceptive pill use, urinary sodium and blood pressure. A population study in two Belgian towns.
Jan A. Staessen,Christopher J. Bulpitt,Robert Fagard,Jozef Victor Joossens,Paul Lijnen,A Amery +5 more
TL;DR: In subjects taking the pill a positive association was observed between the urinary sodium excretion and systolic pressure, and it is therefore possible that the syStolic pressure of pill users becomes responsive to their usual sodium intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human erythrocytes contain Ca2+, calmodulin-dependent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase which is involved in the hydrolysis of cGMP.
TL;DR: The data suggest that erythrocytes contain Ca2+, CaM-PDE, and zaprinast and dipyridamole at 30 microM did not affect the intracellular cGMP content, but vinpocetine at this concentration increased the cG MP content by 102 +/- 14% (p < 0.05).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular Premature Beats in Triathletes: Still a Physiological Phenomenon?
Philip Claessens,Christophe Claessens,Marc Claessens,Hilde Bloemen,Mieke Verbanck,Robert Fagard +5 more
TL;DR: The traditionally accepted view of the physiological nature of ventricular premature beats in triathletes is doubted and it is suspected that the limit of physiological cardiac adaptations to sport efforts is exceeded with the appearance of VPB.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of genes, environment and of body mass to blood pressure variance in young adult males.
TL;DR: A direct influence of BMI on BP constitutes the most likely explanation of theBP–BMI-covariation and it accounts for about 12% of the BP-variance in young healthy men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arginine–aminopeptidase in rat cardiac fibroblastic cells participates in angiotensin peptide turnover
TL;DR: The data obtained suggest that Arginine-aminopeptidase could perform processing ofAngiotensin peptides in the myocardium and participate in processes regulated by angiotensins such as fibrosis.
