Pressure-dependent and pressure-independent protection of CV events; the role of oxidative stress
Journal Title: Journal of Analytical Bio-Science - Year 2012, Vol 35, Issue 3
Abstract
Blood pressure control is effective in preventing a cardiovascular event in patients with multiple risks such as a metabolic syndrome or CKD patients also in risk of a cardio-renal syndrome. Moreover, it is recognized that in a cardio-renal relationship in which multiple organs are involved, not only blood pressure control but also the suppression of oxidative stress should be aimed at as the pressure-independent factor. In recent years, the moribidity of metabolic syndromes, CKD, or cardio-renal syndromes are increasing. Thus, it is important to establish diagnostic tools to evaluate an oxidative stress state as well as new therapeutic tools to decrease oxidative stress.

Reaction mechanism of a protein error in the presence of in organic salt: proof from an absorption spectrum of color development
Color development by protein error decreases in the presence of in organic salt, and its reaction mechanism is proposed. In this paper, whether or not the absorption spectra of this color reaction indicates the character...
The relationship between the received number of health examinations and malnutrition among community dwelling elderly
The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the received number of health examinations and serum albumin concentration as a marker of malnutrition among community-dwelling elderly aged 65 and older. St...
Functional lipids in metabolic syndrome
Along with by the rapid increase in the number of elderly people, chronic diseases of the elderly have come to pose serious problems in Japan both medically and socioeconomically. The metabolic syndrome is a cluster of m...
Comparison of isoflavone contents in soybean and soybean products by HPLC
We investigated the differences in the content of aglycones and glucosides in commercial soybean food products. Furthermore, we examined the content of aglycones and glucosides to determine whether changes depended on co...
Evalution of reactive oxygenproduction using whole blood samples by chemiluminescence
Conventionally, it has been necessary to isolate neutrophils to measure the production capacity of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and isolation takes a long time due to a large amount of blood. Although cytometry has bee...
