  • Therapeutic role of taurine as antioxidant in reducing hypertension risks in rats

    2020, Heliyon
    Citation Excerpt :

    Amplified vascular oxidative tension might be the cause of harmful effects of hypertension [5, 6] and consider the main hazard for cardiovascular sickness & death in the industrialized and poor countries. The start of hypertension is produced by multifaceted connections between genetic tendency & ecological factors [7]. Enlarged sodium chloride (NaCl) consumption can worsen increasing hypertension which increase of significant end-organ injury [8].

  • Association assessment of platelet derived growth factor B gene polymorphism and its expression status with susceptibility to coronary artery disease

    2017, Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics
    Citation Excerpt :

    Genetics-epidemiological and twin studies have revealed the role of genetics factors in the atherosclerosis development. Moreover, case-control studies on polymorphisms have identified genes associated with increased risks to CAD [5,6]. The Platelet derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) gene locus is located on 22q13.1 chromosome, producing a cationic hydrophilic 30 KD protein which binds to specific receptors, and now is considered as one of the best characterized growth factor-receptor systems.

  • Genomic translational research: Paving the way to individualized cardiac functional analyses and personalized cardiology

    2017, International Journal of Cardiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Many cardiovascular genetic disorders occur in high frequency in the population, ostensibly because their life-threatening injurious effects typically are delayed well beyond reproductive-age onset. The sequencing of the human genome has allowed linkage of a growing number of diseases—including cardiac arrhythmias [37–39]; ischemic heart disease [40–43]; assorted cardiomyopathies (see Table 1; the data listed are a tip of the iceberg) [35,44–46]; congestive heart failure [47,48]; and hypertension [49–51]—to numerous genetic variants (Fig. 2) and multicomponent/multifactorial genomic abnormalities [10,35]. An exemplary demonstration is the 1985 Nobel Prize-receiving discovery by Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein [52,53] that mutations of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene family affecting the LDL cell-surface receptor—an 839 amino-acid protein that mediates the endocytosis of cholesterol-rich LDL—cause hypercholesterolemia, development of atherosclerosis, and early-onset myocardial infarction.
