Hyperinsulinemia as an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
BACKGROUND Prospective studies suggest that hyperinsulinemia may be an important risk factor for ischemic heart disease. However, it has not been determined whether plasma insulin levels are independently related to ischemic heart disease after adjustment for other risk factors, including plasma lipoprotein levels. METHODS In 1985 we collected blood samples from 2103 men from suburbs of Quebe...
متن کاملIs iron sufficiency a risk factor in ischemic heart disease?
T he discovery of superoxide dismutasel provided a highly specific probe for the implication of the superoxide free radical (O2) in numerous biological processes. From the beginning, though, there were those who were disquieted by the rather robust nature of the damage that was apparently inflicted by this relatively mild-mannered radical. Soon, evidence suggested that superoxide radical was no...
متن کاملperiodontal disease as a risk factor for ischemic heart disease
background: coronary artery disease is recognized as one of the three major causes of mortality around the world. the role of inflammation in producing coronary artery disease has been established in previous studies. since periodontitis, which is highly prevalent, is considered as a cause of inflammation, its influence on producing coronary artery disease was investigated in the present study ...
متن کاملiron-binding capacity
SYNOPSIS A method is described for measuring the plasma unsaturated iron-binding capacity in the presence of very high concentrations of iron as iron-dextran. The procedure utilizes 59Fe to label the apotransferrin with subsequent separation of ionic iron from transferrin-bound iron on an ion exchange or Sephadex G.25 column. The unsaturated iron-binding capacity has been measured in rabbits an...
متن کاملIs a family history of coronary heart disease an independent coronary risk factor?
The importance of a positive family history as a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease was examined in a case history study. Of 792 consecutive male patients aged under 60 years who survived a first episode of unstable angina or myocardial infarction, 326 had a negative family history, 298 had a positive history, and in 168 a family history could not be established with certainty. Ther...
