The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological demands placed on Australian police officers carrying out common operational tasks. Forty participants (n = 40) from an Australian police force (mean age = 33.58 ± 7.78 years, mean height = 177.70 ± 7.28 cm, mean weight = 85.68 ± 14.52 kg, mean years of service: 6.74 ± 6.29 years) were recr...

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women. Women have a unique phenotype of ischemic heart disease with less calcified lesions, more nonobstructive plaques, and a higher prevalence of microvascular disease compared with men, which may explain in part why current risk models to detect obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) m...

It has recently found that adipokines, play a numerous functional roles in inflammation, lipids and glucose metabolism and in the pathogenically conditions such as atherosclerosis and insulin resistance. Therefore, for the first time we aimed the present study to evaluating serum levels of CTRP5 and inflammatory cytokines patients with CAD and T2DM...

This study aimed to evaluate the relation between blood pressure (BP) or heart rate and genito-urinary symptoms in 504 women across the menopausal age (40-55 years old). In this multicenter, cross-sectional study, data of office systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate were related to the presence of vaginal dryn...

The 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) may provide relevant information about the endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular diseases. Located in the intracellular milieu (iHSP70), they are essential chaperones that inhibit nuclear factor kappa B activation, stimulate nitric oxide production and superoxide dismutase activity, and inhibit apoptosis. ...

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the leading causes of death in the world. Monocyte-derived macrophages are key players in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Innate immune memory following exposure of monocytes to atherogenic compounds, such as oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDL), termed trained immunity, can contr...

Individuals with schizophrenia demonstrate higher rates of metabolic syndrome (MetS) than the general population. Hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) reflect longer-term cortisol secretion and can provide additional insights into the role of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis in schizophrenia and co-occurring MetS. In a case-control study...

It has been hypothesized that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) may occur in the retinal pigment epithelium of advanced stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Various serum and plasma growth factors and inflammatory mediators have been linked to AMD. We were interested in finding out whether systemic levels of EMT-associated markers we...

Significance: The mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system, comprising the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, generates membrane potential, drives ATP synthesis, governs energy metabolism, and maintains redox balance. OXPHOS dysfunction is associated with a plethora of diseases ranging from rare inherited disorders to common ...

Background The role of longitudinal temporal trends in LDL-C in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes is unclear. This study categorized the long-term LDL-C trajectory and determined its association with the incidence of atherosclerotic CVD in patients with CKD according to diabetes status and estim...
