Protective effect of anti-oxidants on endothelial function in young Korean-Asians compared to Caucasians
BACKGROUND Previous studies show that Asians have an impaired blood flow response (BFR) to occlusion after a single high fat (HF) meal. The mechanism is believed to be the presence and susceptibility to high free radicals in their blood. The free radical concentration after a HF meal has not been examined in Asians. Further the BFR to heat after a single HF meal in Koreans has not been measured...
متن کاملDifferences in endothelial function between Korean-Asians and Caucasians
BACKGROUND The vascular endothelium plays an integral role in maintaining vascular homeostasis, including the regulation of blood flow, vascular tone, and platelet aggregation. The aim of this study was to see if there were any differences in endothelial function between Koreans and Caucasians. MATERIAL/METHODS This was accomplished by 2 measures of endothelial function--the response to local...
متن کاملReduced endothelial function in the skin in Southeast Asians compared to Caucasians
BACKGROUND The reaction of vascular endothelial cells to occlusion and heat in Southeast Asian Indians (SAI) compared to Caucasians (C) has not been studied, although genetic differences are found in endothelial cells between the races. MATERIAL/METHODS Ten C and Ten SAI (<35 years old) male and female subjects participated. There was no difference in the demographics of the subjects except t...
متن کاملCoQ10 and Endothelial Function in Asians from Korea compared to Asians born in the United States and US Born Caucasians
BACKGROUND The vascular endothelium is the interface between the blood and vascular smooth muscle in arteries. It is easily damaged by oxidative stress. Recent studies show that Asians are more susceptible than Caucasians to impairment of endothelial function. This study examined endothelial function in US-born Caucasians, Asians from Korea, and US-born Asians (almost all Korean decent) and exa...
متن کاملThe protective effect of combined administration of anti-oxidants and perfluorochemicals on cerebral ischemia.
We previously published results of investigations which indicated that the combination of mannitol, which acts as a free radical scavenger, and perfluorochemicals (PFC), which have a strong oxygen-carrying capacity, can be therapeutic in cases of brain infarction. The present experiment tested the hypothesis that the effectiveness of such treatment could be increased by an optimal combination o...
