Abstrakt: | Lower nitric oxide (NO) bioavailabilty associates with hypertension in patients and elderly populations. With hypertension known to develop earlier in black populations, we compared both plasma and urinary NO-related markers and their associations with central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and arterial stiffness in healthy young black and white adults. We included healthy black and white men and women (n = 1110; 20-30 years) and measured cSBP and pulse wave velocity (PWV), along with both plasma and urinary arginine, homoarginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), as well as urinary ornithine/citrulline, nitrite and nitrate. In addition, the urinary nitrate-to-nitrite ratio (U (© 2020. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited part of Springer Nature.) |
