Stress as a Potential Modifier of the Impact of Lead Levels on Blood Pressure: The Normative Aging Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
Background: Lead exposure and psychological stress have been independently associated with hypertension in various populations, and animal studies suggest that when they co-occur, their effects may be exacerbated. Objectives: ...
Postural Changes in Blood Pressure Associated with Interactions between Candidate Genes for Chronic Respiratory Diseases and Exposure to Particulate Matter
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
Background: Fine particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)] has been associated with autonomic dysregulation.Objective We hypothesized that PM2.5 influences postural changes in systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP) ...
Black Carbon Exposure, Oxidative Stress Genes, and Blood Pressure in a Repeated-measures Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
Background: Particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and elevated blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. A small number of studies ...
