“…The aim of this study was to determine if oral antioxidant administration eliminates vascular dysfunction during acute inflammation in young and older adults. Brachial flow‐mediated dilation (FMD) and carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured in nine young (3 male, 24 ± 4 yrs, 26.2 ± 4.9 kg/m(2)) and 16 older (13 male, 64 ± 5 yrs, 25.8 ± 3.2 kg/m(2)) adults before and 2‐h after oral consumption of 2 g of vitamin C. …”

“…Using a polar coordinate description, companion metrics of aortic pulse pressure (PPC = √{(systolic blood pressure)(2) + (diastolic blood pressure)(2)}) and augmentation index (AIxC = √{(augmentation pressure)(2) + (pulse pressure)(2)}) were calculated as measures of arterial load. Brachial-ankle (baPWV, reflecting stiffness of the abdominal aorta and leg artery) and heart-ankle (haPWV, reflecting stiffness of the whole aortic and leg artery) pulse wave velocities were also measured. …”

“…DESIGN AND METHODS: The study was a prospective follow-up study that assessed ANGPTL3, 4 and 8 levels, vascular status (flow-mediated dilation% of brachial artery (FMD%), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), aortic stiffness index (ASI)), left ventricle (LV) parameters (ejection fraction (EF), myocardial performance index (MPI), and LV mass), well-known cardiovascular risk factors and homeostatic model for the assessment of insulin resistance, at two time points, that is, among naïve SCH, naïve OH, and healthy subjects groups; and at 6 months after achieving the euthyroid state with LT4 by calculating their increased or decreased delta changes (∆↑ or ∆↓) in longitudinal arm among LT4-hypothyroid groups. …”
