Abdominal obesity and hyperglycemia mask the effect of a common APOC3 haplotype on the risk of myocardial infarction
Ruiz-Narváez, Edward; Sacks, Frank Martin; Campos, Hannia (American Society for Nutrition, 2008)Background Plasma apolipoprotein (apo) C-III strongly predicts myocardial infarction (MI) and directly activates atherogenic processes invascularcells.Geneticvariationintheinsulinresponseelementofthe APOC3 promoter is ... -
Distinct patterns of lipoproteins with apoB defined by presence of apoE or apoC-III in hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
Campos, Hannia; Perlov, Dan; Khoo, Christina; Sacks, Frank Martin (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001)Apolipoprotein (apo) E and apoC-III concentrations in VLDL and LDL are associated with coronary heart disease. We studied the relationship between apoE and apoC-III and the abnormal concentrations and distribution of apoB ... -
Effect of protein, unsaturated fat, and carbohydrate intakes on plasma apolipoprotein B and VLDL and LDL containing apolipoprotein C-III: results from the OmniHeart Trial.
Furtado, Jeremy Daniel; Campos, Hannia; Appel, Lawrence; Miller, Edgar; Laranjo, Nancy M; Carey, Vincent James; Sacks, Frank Martin (American Society for Nutrition, 2008) -
Effects of estrogenic oral contraceptives on the lipoprotein B particle system defined by apolipoproteins E and C-III content.
Khoo, Christina; Campos, Hannia; Judge, Helena; Sacks, Frank Martin (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1999)Apolipoproteins E and C-III are modulators of lipoprotein metabolism that could affect development of atherosclerosis. The prevalence in plasma of apoB-containing particles (LpB) that contain either apoE or apoC-III, both ... -
Investigation of KIF6 Trp719Arg in a Case-Control Study of Myocardial Infarction: A Costa Rican Population
Bare, Lance A.; Ruiz-Narvaéz, Edward A.; Tong, Carmen H.; Arellano, Andre R.; Rowland, Charles M.; Catanese, Joseph J.; Sacks, Frank Martin; Devlin, James J.; Campos, Hannia (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2010)Background and Methodology The 719Arg allele of KIF6 (rs20455) was associated with coronary events in Caucasian participants of five prospective studies. We investigated whether this KIF6 variant was associated with ... -
Reducing the global burden of type 2 diabetes by improving the quality of staple foods: The Global Nutrition and Epidemiologic Transition Initiative
Mattei, Josiemer; Malik, Vasanti; Wedick, Nicole M.; Hu, Frank B.; Spiegelman, Donna; Willett, Walter C.; Campos, Hannia (BioMed Central, 2015)Background: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes has been reaching epidemic proportions across the globe, affecting low/middle-income and developed countries. Two main contributors to this burden are the reduction in mortality ... -
trans-Fatty Acid Isomers in Adipose Tissue Have Divergent Associations with Adiposity in Humans
Smit, Liesbeth A.; Willett, Walter C.; Campos, Hannia (Springer-Verlag, 2010)The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between adipose tissue trans-fatty acid isomers and adiposity. This cross-sectional study included 1,785 subjects from Costa Rica. Fatty acid concentrations (as a ...
