Caloric restriction alters the metabolic response to a mixed-meal: results from a randomized, controlled trial.
(PLoS One, 2012)
OBJECTIVES: To determine if caloric restriction (CR) would cause changes in plasma
metabolic intermediates in response to a mixed meal, suggestive of changes in the
capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability or ...
A novel inflammatory biomarker, GlycA, associates with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis and cardio-metabolic risk in BMI-matched controls.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2016-04-12)
BACKGROUND: RA and CVD both have inflammation as part of the underlying biology. Our
objective was to explore the relationships of GlycA, a measure of glycosylated acute
phase proteins, with inflammation and cardiometabolic ...
Genome-wide association study of acute kidney injury after coronary bypass graft surgery identifies susceptibility loci.
(Kidney Int, 2015-10)
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, serious complication of cardiac surgery. Since
prior studies have supported a genetic basis for postoperative AKI, we conducted a
genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AKI following ...
Exercise-induced changes in metabolic intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory markers associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity.
(Diabetes Care, 2011-01)
OBJECTIVE: To understand relationships between exercise training-mediated improvements
in insulin sensitivity (S(I)) and changes in circulating concentrations of metabolic
intermediates, hormones, and inflammatory mediators. ...
Alglucosidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy as a therapeutic approach for glycogen storage disease type III.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2013-02)
We investigated the feasibility of using recombinant human acid-α glucosidase (rhGAA,
Alglucosidase alfa), an FDA approved therapy for Pompe disease, as a treatment approach
for glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III). ...
Gene Expression Profiles Link Respiratory Viral Infection, Platelet Response to Aspirin, and Acute Myocardial Infarction.
(PLoS One, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Influenza infection is associated with myocardial infarction (MI), suggesting
that respiratory viral infection may induce biologic pathways that contribute to MI.
We tested the hypotheses that 1) a validated ...
Development of a blood-based gene expression algorithm for assessment of obstructive coronary artery disease in non-diabetic patients.
(BMC Med Genomics, 2011-03-28)
BACKGROUND: Alterations in gene expression in peripheral blood cells have been shown
to be sensitive to the presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). A non-invasive
blood test that could reliably assess obstructive ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of cardiovascular disease biomarkers in a large, multigenerational family.
(PLoS One, 2013)
Given the importance of cardiovascular disease (CVD) to public health and the demonstrated
heritability of both disease status and its related risk factors, identifying the
genetic variation underlying these susceptibilities ...
Association of a peripheral blood metabolic profile with coronary artery disease and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
(Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2010-04)
BACKGROUND: Molecular tools may provide insight into cardiovascular risk. We assessed
whether metabolites discriminate coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict risk of
cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed ...
