Differences in cell response could explain higher rates of hypertension in African-Americans

2011-08-31

A key difference in the way that cells from African-Americans respond to inflammation could be an answer to why this group is disproportionately affected by hypertension, something that has eluded scientists for many years. In a study published this month in Vascular Health and Risk Management, lead author Michael Brown and his team tested the effects of TNF-ά, a protein that causes inflammation when cells are damaged, on endothelial cells – which line blood vessels – in both African-Americans and Caucasians, to determine whether the inflammation affected the cells ...

Researchers wanted to know how the declining saturation state of this important mineral would impact ...
