Race, Natriuretic Peptides, and High-Carbohydrate Challenge
7 Oct 2019
Abstract excerpt
Rationale: Lower NP (natriuretic peptide) levels may contribute to the development of cardiometabolic diseases. Blacks have lower NP levels than middle-aged and older white adults. A high-carbohydrate challenge causes an upregulation of a negative ANP regulator microRNA-425 ( miR-425 ), which reduces ANP (atrial-NP) levels in whites. Objectives: We designed a prospective trial to study racial differences in (1)...
