Abstract
Delivery of drug using nanocarriers tethered with vasculature-targeting epitopes aims to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of the drug while minimizing the drug side effects. Circadian rhythm which is governed by the central nervous system has implications for targeted drug delivery due to sleep-wake cycle changes in blood flow dynamics. This paper presents an advanced fluid dynamics modeling method that is based on viscous incompressible shear-rate fluid (blood) coupled with an advection-diffusion equation to simulate the formation of drug concentration gradients in the blood stream and buildup of concentration at the targeted site. The method is equipped with an experimentally calibrated nanoparticle-endothelial cell adhesion model that employs Robin boundary conditions to describe nanoparticle retention based on probability of adhesion, a friction model accounting for surface roughness of endothelial cell layer, and a dispersion model based on Taylor-Aris expression for effective diffusion in the boundary layer. The computational model is first experimentally validated and then tested on engineered bifurcating arterial systems where impedance boundary conditions are applied at the outflow to account for the downstream resistance at each outlet. It is then applied to a virtual geometric model of an in vivo arterial tree developed through MRI-based image processing techniques. These simulations highlight the potential of the computational model for drug transport, adhesion, and retention at multiple sites in virtual in vivo models. The model provides a virtual platform for exploring circadian rhythm modulated blood flow for targeted drug delivery while minimizing the in vivo experimentation. Statement of Significance A novel integration of nanoparticle-based drug delivery framework with shear-rate dependent blood flow model is presented. The framework is comprised of a unique combination of mechanics-based dispersion model, an asperity model for endothelium surface roughness, and a stochastic nanoparticle-endothelial cell adhesion model. Simulations of MRI based in vivo carotid artery system showcase the effects of vessel geometry on nanoparticle adhesion and retention at the targeted site. Vessel geometry and target site location impact nanoparticle adhesion; curved and bifurcating regions favor local accumulation of drug. It is also shown that aligning drug administration with circadian rhythm and sleep cycle can enhance the efficacy of drug delivery processes. These simulations highlight the potential of the computational modeling for exploring circadian rhythm modulated blood flow for targeted drug delivery while minimizing the in vivo experimentation.

Association of Wearable Device-Measured Step Volume and Variability With Blood Pressure in Older Chinese Adults: Mobile-Based Longitudinal Observational Study. J Med Internet Res 2024; 26:e50075. [PMID: 39141900 PMCID: PMC11358660 DOI: 10.2196/50075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The paucity of evidence on longitudinal and consecutive recordings of physical activity (PA) and blood pressure (BP) under real-life conditions and their relationships is a vital research gap that needs to be addressed. OBJECTIVE This study aims to (1) investigate the short-term relationship between device-measured step volume and BP; (2) explore the joint effects of step volume and variability on BP; and (3) examine whether the association patterns between PA and BP varied across sex, hypertension status, and chronic condition status. METHODS This study used PA data of a prospective cohort of 3070 community-dwelling older adults derived from a mobile health app. Daily step counts, as a proxy of step volume, were derived from wearable devices between 2018 and 2022 and categorized into tertiles (low, medium, and high). Step variability was assessed using the SD of daily step counts. Consecutive daily step count recordings within 0 to 6 days preceding each BP measurement were analyzed. Generalized estimation equation models were used to estimate the individual and joint associations of daily step volume and variability with BP. Stratified analyses by sex, the presence of hypertension, and the number of morbidities were further conducted. RESULTS A total of 3070 participants, with a median age of 72 (IQR 67-77) years and 71.37% (2191/3070) women, were included. Participants walked a median of 7580 (IQR 4972-10,653) steps and 5523 (IQR 3590-7820) meters per day for a total of 592,597 person-days of PA monitoring. Our results showed that higher levels of daily step volume were associated with lower BP (systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure). Compared with participants with low step volume (daily step counts <6000/d) and irregular steps, participants with high step volume (≥9500/d) and regular steps showed the strongest decrease in systolic BP (-1.69 mm Hg, 95% CI -2.2 to -1.18), while participants with medium step volume (6000/d to <9500/d) and regular steps were associated with the lowest diastolic BP (-1.067 mm Hg, 95% CI -1.379 to -0.755). Subgroup analyses indicated generally greater effects on women, individuals with normal BP, and those with only 1 chronic disease, but the effect pattern was varied and heterogeneous between participants with different characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Increased step volume demonstrated a substantial protective effect on BP among older adults with chronic conditions. Furthermore, the beneficial association between step volume and BP was enhanced by regular steps, suggesting potential synergistic protective effects of both increased step volume and step regularity. Targeting both step volume and variability through PA interventions may yield greater benefits in BP control, particularly among participants with hypertension and a higher chronic disease burden.

Abstract
Background Emerging evidence supports a link between circadian disruption as measured by higher night-to-night variation in sleep duration and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It remains unclear whether this association varies by CVD types or may be modified by average sleep duration and genetic risk for CVD. Methods Our prospective analysis included 86,219 UK Biobank participants who were free from CVD when completing 7 days of accelerometer measurement in 2013-2016. Sleep irregularity was evaluated by the standard deviation (SD) of accelerometer-measured sleep duration over 7 days. Incident major CVD events, defined as fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, were identified through linkage to Hospital Episode Statistics data until May 31, 2022. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for associations of sleep duration SD with risk for major CVD events overall and for MI and stroke separately. Results We documented 2,310 incident cases of major CVD events (MI: 1,183, stroke: 1,175) over 636,258 person-years of follow-up. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors and family history of CVD, the HR (95% CI) associated with a 1-hour increase in sleep duration SD was 1.19 (1.10, 1.27) for CVD (p-trend<0.0001), 1.23 (1.11, 1.35) for MI (p-trend<0.0001), and 1.17 (1.05, 1.29) for stroke (p-trend=0.003). Additional adjustment for lifestyle factors, co-morbidities and sleep-related factors modestly attenuated these associations. Higher sleep irregularity was associated with higher CVD risk irrespective of genetic risk (p-interaction=0.43), but this association was stronger among individuals with longer average sleep duration >8 hours (p-interaction=0.006). Conclusions Higher night-to-night variation in accelerometer-measured sleep duration was associated with consistently higher risks for major CVD events. The association did not seem to be modified by genetic risk for CVD and was more pronounced in long sleepers.

Prediction of non-dipper blood pressure pattern in Chinese patients with hypertension using a nomogram model. Front Physiol 2024; 15:1309212. [PMID: 39113937 PMCID: PMC11303159 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2024.1309212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Non-dipper blood pressure has been shown to affect cardiovascular outcomes and cognitive function in patients with hypertension. Although some studies have explored the influencing factors of non-dipper blood pressure, there is still relatively little research on constructing a prediction model. This study aimed to develop and validate a simple and practical nomogram prediction model and explore relevant elements that could affect the dipper blood pressure relationship in patients with hypertension. A convenient sampling method was used to select 356 inpatients with hypertension who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2022 to September 2022. All patients were randomly assigned to the training cohort (75%, n = 267) and the validation cohort (25%, n = 89). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were utilized to identify influencing factors. The nomogram was developed and evaluated based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), and decision curve analyses. The optimal cutoff values for the prevalence of dipper blood pressure were estimated. The nomogram was established using six variables, including age, sex, hemoglobin (Hb), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), ejection fraction (EF), and heart rate. The AUC was 0.860 in the training cohort. The cutoff values for optimally predicting the prevalence of dipper blood pressure were 41.50 years, 151.00 g/L, 117.53 mL/min/1.73 m2, 64.50%, and 75 beats per minute for age, Hb, eGFR, ejection fraction, and heart rate, respectively. In summary, our nomogram can be used as a simple, plausible, affordable, and widely implementable tool to predict the blood pressure pattern of Chinese patients with hypertension.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health concern. Circadian medicine improves cardiovascular care by aligning treatments with our body's daily rhythms and their underlying cellular circadian mechanisms. Time-based therapies, or chronotherapies, show special promise in clinical cardiology. They optimize treatment schedules for better outcomes with fewer side effects by recognizing the profound influence of rhythmic body cycles. In this review, we focus on three chronotherapy areas (medication, light, and meal timing) with potential to enhance cardiovascular care. We also highlight pioneering research in the new field of rest, the gut microbiome, novel chronotherapies for hypertension, pain management, and small molecules that targeting the circadian mechanism.

Treatment of Sleep Apnea and Reduction in Blood Pressure: The Role of Heart Rate Response and Hypoxic Burden. Hypertension 2024; 81:1106-1114.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with increased blood pressure (BP). Obstructive sleep apnea treatment reduces BP with substantial variability, not explained by the apnea-hypopnea index, partly due to inadequate characterization of obstructive sleep apnea's physiological consequences, such as oxygen desaturation, cardiac autonomic response, and suboptimal treatment efficacy. We sought to examine whether a high baseline heart rate response (ΔHR), a marker of high cardiovascular risk in obstructive sleep apnea, predicts a larger reduction in post-treatment systolic BP (SBP). Furthermore, we aimed to assess the extent to which a reduction in SBP is explained by a treatment-related reduction in hypoxic burden (HB). METHODS ΔHR and HB were measured from pretreatment and posttreatment polygraphy, followed by a 24-hour BP assessment in 168 participants treated with continuous positive airway pressure or nocturnal supplemental oxygen from the HeartBEAT study (Heart Biomarker Evaluation in Apnea Treatment). Multiple linear regression models assessed whether high versus mid (reference) ΔHR predicted a larger reduction in SBP (primary outcome) and whether there was an association between treatment-related reductions in SBP and HB. RESULTS A high versus mid ΔHR predicted improvement in SBP (adjusted estimate, 5.8 [95% CI, 1.0-10.5] mm Hg). Independently, a greater treatment-related reduction in HB was significantly associated with larger reductions in SBP (4.2 [95% CI, 0.9-7.5] mm Hg per 2 SD treatment-related reduction in HB). Participants with substantial versus minimal treatment-related reductions in HB had a 6.5 (95% CI, 2.5-10.4) mm Hg drop in SBP. CONCLUSIONS A high ΔHR predicted a more favorable BP response to therapy. Furthermore, the magnitude of the reduction in BP was partly explained by a greater reduction in HB.

Abstract
PURPOSE Dietary nitrate (NO3-) supplementation can lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) and improve exercise performance. Salivary flow rate (SFR) and pH are key determinants of oral NO3- reduction and purported to peak in the afternoon. We tested the hypotheses that NO3--rich beetroot juice (BR) would increase plasma [nitrite] ([NO2-]), lower SBP and improve exercise performance to a greater extent in the afternoon (AFT) compared to the morning (MORN) and evening (EVE). METHOD Twelve males completed six experimental visits in a repeated-measures, crossover design. NO3--depleted beetroot juice (PL) or BR (~ 13 mmol NO3-) were ingested in the MORN, AFT and EVE. SFR and pH, salivary and plasma [NO3-] and [NO2-], brachial SBP and central SBP were measured pre and post supplementation. A severe-intensity exercise tolerance test was completed to determine cycling time to exhaustion (TTE). RESULTS There were no between-condition differences in mean SFR or salivary pH. The elevation in plasma [NO2-] after BR ingestion was not different between BR-MORN, BR-AFT and BR-EVE. Brachial SBP was unchanged following BR supplementation in all conditions. Central SBP was reduced in BR-MORN (- 3 ± 4 mmHg), BR-AFT (- 4 ± 3 mmHg), and BR-EVE (- 2 ± 3 mmHg), with no differences between timepoints. TTE was not different between BR and PL at any timepoint. CONCLUSION Acute BR supplementation was ineffective at improving TTE and brachial SBP and similarly effective at increasing plasma [NO2-] and lowering central SBP across the day, which may have implications for informing NO3- supplementation strategies.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global burden. Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor for rapid progression of CKD. We extend the risk stratification by introducing the non-parametric determination of rhythmic components in 24-h profiles of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) and the African American Study for Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) cohort using Cox proportional hazards models. We find that rhythmic profiling of BP through JTK_CYCLE analysis identifies subgroups of CRIC participants that were more likely to die due to cardiovascular causes. While our fully adjusted model shows a trend towards a significant association between absent cyclic components and cardiovascular death in the full CRIC cohort (HR: 1.71,95% CI: 0.99-2.97, p = 0.056), CRIC participants with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and absent cyclic components in their BP profile had at any time a 3.4-times higher risk of cardiovascular death than CVD patients with cyclic components present in their BP profile (HR: 3.37, 95% CI: 1.45-7.87, p = 0.005). This increased risk was not explained by the dipping or non-dipping pattern in ABPM. Due to the large differences in patient characteristics, the results do not replicate in the AASK cohort. This study suggests rhythmic blood pressure components as a potential novel biomarker to unmask excess risk among CKD patients with prior cardiovascular disease.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1338110. [PMID: 38737554 PMCID: PMC11082579 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1338110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Circadian syndrome (CircS) is proposed as a novel risk cluster based on reduced sleep duration, abdominal obesity, depression, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia. However, the association between CircS and chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear. To investigate the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between CircS and CKD, this study was performed. Methods A national prospective cohort (China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, CHARLS) was used in this study. To define CKD, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated based on the 2012 CKD-EPI creatinine-cystatin C equation. Participants with eGFR <60 mL.min-1/1.73/m2 were diagnosed with CKD. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to assess the cross-sectional association between CircS and CKD. Subgroup and interactive analyses were performed to determine the interactive effects of covariates. In the sensitivity analysis, the obese population was excluded and another method for calculating the eGFR was used to verify the robustness of previous findings. In addition, participants without CKD at baseline were followed up for four years to investigate the longitudinal relationship between CircS and CKD. Results A total of 6355 participants were included in this study. In the full model, CircS was positively associated with CKD (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.04-1.59, P < 0.05). As per one increase of CircS components, there was a 1.11-fold (95% CI = 1.04-1.18, P < 0.05) risk of prevalent CKD in the full model. A significant interactive effect of hyperuricemia in the CircS-CKD association (P for interaction < 0.01) was observed. Sensitivity analyses excluding the obese population and using the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation to diagnose CKD supported the positive correlation between CircS and CKD. In the 2011-2015 follow-up cohort, the CircS group had a 2.18-fold risk of incident CKD (95% CI = 1.33-3.58, P < 0.01) in the full model. The OR was 1.29 (95% CI = 1.10-1.51, P < 0.001) with per one increase of CircS components. Conclusion CircS is a risk factor for CKD and may serve as a predictor of CKD for early identification and intervention.

The circadian rhythm: A new target of natural products that can protect against diseases of the metabolic system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00133-4. [PMID: 38631431 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2023] [Revised: 03/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of metabolic system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system diseases remains to be explored. In the internal environment of organisms, the metabolism of substances such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins (including biohormones and enzymes) exhibit a certain circadian rhythm to maintain the energy supply and material cycle needed for the normal activities of organisms. As a key factor for the health of organisms, the circadian rhythm can be disrupted by pathological conditions, and this disruption accelerates the progression of diseases and results in a vicious cycle. The current treatments targeting the circadian rhythm for the treatment of metabolic system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system diseases have certain limitations, and the identification of safer and more effective circadian rhythm regulators is needed. AIM OF THE REVIEW To systematically assess the possibility of using the biological clock as a natural product target for disease intervention, this work reviews a range of evidence on the potential effectiveness of natural products targeting the circadian rhythm to protect against diseases of the metabolic system, cardiovascular system, and nervous system. This manuscript focuses on how natural products restore normal function by affecting the amplitude of the expression of circadian factors, sleep/wake cycles and the structure of the gut microbiota. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF THE REVIEW This work proposes that the circadian rhythm, which is regulated by the amplitude of the expression of circadian rhythm-related factors and the sleep/wake cycle, is crucial for diseases of the metabolic system, cardiovascular system and nervous system and is a new target for slowing the progression of diseases through the use of natural products. This manuscript provides a reference for the molecular modeling of natural products that target the circadian rhythm and provides a new perspective for the time-targeted action of drugs.

Abstract
There is still much uncertainty surrounding the approach to diagnosing and managing a sport-related concussion (SRC). Neurobiological recovery may extend beyond clinical recovery following SRC, highlighting the need for objective physiological parameters to guide diagnosis and management. With an increased understanding of the connection between the heart and the brain, the utility of assessing cardiovascular functioning following SRC has gained attention. As such, this review focuses on the assessment of cardiovascular parameters in the context of SRC. Although conflicting results have been reported, decreased heart rate variability, blood pressure variability, and systolic (ejection) time, in addition to increased spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity and magnitude of atrial contraction have been shown in acute SRC. We propose that these findings result from the neurometabolic cascade triggered by a concussion and represent alterations in myocardial calcium handling, autonomic dysfunction, and an exaggerated compensatory response that attempts to maintain homeostasis following a SRC. Assessment of the cardiovascular system has the potential to assist in diagnosing and managing SRC, contributing to a more comprehensive and multimodal assessment strategy.

Abstract
We evaluated the association of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), blood pressure (BP) and Vitamin D (VD) levels before and after high-dose cholecalciferol supplementation (4000/10,000) UI/day) for 12 weeks in patients (N = 67) with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Based on this prospective controlled pilot study, patients were divided into group 1 (N = 23 with CAN) and group 2 (N = 44 without CAN). At baseline, group 1 had higher systolic BP (SBP) during sleep (115 ± 14 vs. 107 ± 12 mmHg, p = 0.04) and lower nocturnal dipping (3 ± 5 vs. 8 ± 6%, p = 0.009). Among those with loss of nocturnal dipping, 45.4% (20/44) had CAN, while in normal nocturnal dipping group it occurred only in 13% (3/23) (p = 0.007). Non-dipper group had worse CAN parameters when compared to dipper group [Very low frequency (VLF) (2.5 ± 0.5vs.2.8 ± 0.4 s, p = 0.01), total power (TP) (2.9 ± 0.6 vs. 3.3 ± 0.4 s, p = 0.01), Valsalva coefficient (1.5 ± 0.4 vs. 1.8 ± 0.6, p = 0.06)]. After VD, only group 1 improved CAN parameters [TP (2.5 ± 0.4 vs. 2.8 ± 0.6, p = 0.01) and VLF (2.2 ± 0.4 vs. 2.4 ± 0.5, p = 0.03). Group 1 presented a reduction in morning SBP (120 ± 20 vs. 114 ± 17 mmHg, p = 0.038) and in morning SBP surge (13 ± 13 vs. 5 ± 14, p = 0.04). High-dose VD was associated with improved CAN parameters and reduced awake SBP and morning SBP surge. These findings suggest that VD may benefit patients with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.

Abstract
Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects most of the population. Through the retinohypothalamic tract, ALAN modulates the activity of the central circadian oscillator and, consequently, various physiological systems, including the cardiovascular one. We summarised the current knowledge about the effects of ALAN on the cardiovascular system in diurnal and nocturnal animals. Based on published data, ALAN reduces the day-night variability of the blood pressure and heart rate in diurnal and nocturnal animals by increasing the nocturnal values of cardiovascular variables in diurnal animals and decreasing them in nocturnal animals. The effects of ALAN on the cardiovascular system are mainly transmitted through the autonomic nervous system. ALAN is also considered a stress-inducing factor, as glucocorticoid and glucose level changes indicate. Moreover, in nocturnal rats, ALAN increases the pressure response to load. In addition, ALAN induces molecular changes in the heart and blood vessels. Changes in the cardiovascular system significantly depend on the duration of ALAN exposure. To some extent, alterations in physical activity can explain the changes observed in the cardiovascular system after ALAN exposure. Although ALAN acts differently on nocturnal and diurnal animals, we can conclude that both exhibit a weakened circadian coordination among physiological systems, which increases the risk of future cardiovascular complications and reduces the ability to anticipate stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variation in blood pressure levels display circadian rhythms. Complete 24-hour blood pressure control is the primary goal of antihypertensive treatment and reducing adverse cardiovascular outcomes is the ultimate aim. This is an update of the review first published in 2011. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of administration-time-related effects of once-daily evening versus conventional morning dosing antihypertensive drug therapy regimens on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, total adverse events, withdrawals from treatment due to adverse effects, and reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in people with primary hypertension. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Hypertension Specialised Register via Cochrane Register of Studies (17 June 2022), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (Issue 6, 2022); MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process and MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print (1 June 2022); Embase (1 June 2022); ClinicalTrials.gov (2 June 2022); Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBLD) (1978 to 2009); Chinese VIP (2009 to 7 August 2022); Chinese WANFANG DATA (2009 to 4 August 2022); China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database (CAJD) (2009 to 6 August 2022); Epistemonikos (3 September 2022) and the reference lists of relevant articles. We applied no language restrictions. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the administration-time-related effects of evening with morning dosing monotherapy regimens in people with primary hypertension. We excluded people with known secondary hypertension, shift workers or people with white coat hypertension. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two to four review authors independently extracted data and assessed trial quality. We resolved disagreements by discussion or with another review author. We performed data synthesis and analyses using Review Manager Web for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, serious adverse events, overall adverse events, withdrawals due to adverse events, change in 24-hour blood pressure and change in morning blood pressure. We assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. We conducted random-effects meta-analysis, fixed-effect meta-analysis, subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis. MAIN RESULTS We included 27 RCTs in this updated review, of which two RCTs were excluded from the meta-analyses for lack of data and number of groups not reported. The quantitative analysis included 25 RCTs with 3016 participants with primary hypertension. RCTs used angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (six trials), calcium channel blockers (nine trials), angiotensin II receptor blockers (seven trials), diuretics (two trials), α-blockers (one trial), and β-blockers (one trial). Fifteen trials were parallel designed, and 10 trials were cross-over designed. Most participants were white, and only two RCTs were conducted in Asia (China) and one in Africa (South Africa). All trials excluded people with risk factors of myocardial infarction and strokes. Most trials had high risk or unclear risk of bias in at least two of several key criteria, which was most prominent in allocation concealment (selection bias) and selective reporting (reporting bias). Meta-analysis showed significant heterogeneity across trials. No RCTs reported on cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular morbidity. There may be little to no differences in all-cause mortality (after 26 weeks of active treatment: RR 0.49, 95% CI 0.04 to 5.42; RD 0, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.01; very low-certainty evidence), serious adverse events (after 8 to 26 weeks of active treatment: RR 1.17, 95% CI 0.53 to 2.57; RD 0, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.03; very low-certainty evidence), overall adverse events (after 6 to 26 weeks of active treatment: RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.20; I² = 37%; RD -0.02, 95% CI -0.07 to 0.02; I² = 38%; very low-certainty evidence) and withdrawals due to adverse events (after 6 to 26 weeks active treatment: RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.47 to 1.23; I² = 0%; RD -0.01, 95% CI -0.03 to 0; I² = 0%; very low-certainty evidence), but the evidence was very uncertain. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Due to the very limited data and the defects of the trials' designs, this systematic review did not find adequate evidence to determine which time dosing drug therapy regimen has more beneficial effects on cardiovascular outcomes or adverse events. We have very little confidence in the evidence showing that evening dosing of antihypertensive drugs is no more or less effective than morning administration to lower 24-hour blood pressure. The conclusions should not be assumed to apply to people receiving multiple antihypertensive drug regimens.

EEG brain network variability is correlated with other pathophysiological indicators of critical patients in neurology intensive care unit. Brain Res Bull 2024; 207:110881. [PMID: 38232779 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2024.110881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
Continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) plays a crucial role in monitoring and postoperative evaluation of critical patients with extensive EEG abnormalities. Recently, the temporal variability of dynamic resting-state functional connectivity has emerged as a novel approach to understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying diseases. However, little is known about the underlying temporal variability of functional connections in critical patients admitted to neurology intensive care unit (NICU). Furthermore, considering the emerging field of network physiology that emphasizes the integrated nature of human organisms, we hypothesize that this temporal variability in brain activity may be potentially linked to other physiological functions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate network variability using fuzzy entropy in 24-hour dynamic resting-state networks of critical patients in NICU, with an emphasis on exploring spatial topology changes over time. Our findings revealed both atypical flexible and robust architectures in critical patients. Specifically, the former exhibited denser functional connectivity across the left frontal and left parietal lobes, while the latter showed predominantly short-range connections within anterior regions. These patterns of network variability deviating from normality may underlie the altered network integrity leading to loss of consciousness and cognitive impairment observed in these patients. Additionally, we explored changes in 24-hour network properties and found simultaneous decreases in brain efficiency, heart rate, and blood pressure between approximately 1 pm and 5 pm. Moreover, we observed a close relationship between temporal variability of resting-state network properties and other physiological indicators including heart rate as well as liver and kidney function. These findings suggest that the application of a temporal variability-based cEEG analysis method offers valuable insights into underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of critical patients in NICU, and may present novel avenues for their condition monitoring, intervention, and treatment.

Abstract
Background We aimed to identify two new prognostic subtypes and create a predictive index for prostate cancer (PCa) patients based on ferroptosis database. Methods The nonnegative matrix factorization approach was used to identify molecular subtypes. We investigate the differences between cluster 1 and cluster 2 in terms of clinical features, functional pathways, tumour stemness, tumour heterogeneity, gene mutation and tumour immune microenvironment score after identifying the two molecular subtypes. Colony formation assay and flow cytometry assay were performed. Results The stratification of two clusters was closely connected to BCR-free survival using the nonnegative matrix factorization method, which was validated in the other three datasets. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that this classification was an independent risk factor for patients with PCa. Ribosome, aminoacyl tRNA production, oxidative phosphorylation, and Parkinson's disease-related pathways were shown to be highly enriched in cluster 1. In comparison to cluster 2, patients in cluster 1 exhibited significantly reduced CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells and tumor immune microenvironment scores. Only HHLA2 was more abundant in cluster 1. Moreover, we found that P4HB downregulation could significantly inhibit the colony formation ability and contributed to cell apoptosis of C4-2B and DU145 cell lines. Conclusions We discovered two new prognostic subtypes associated with immunological dysfunction in PCa patients based on ferroptosis-related genes and found that P4HB downregulation could significantly inhibit the colony formation ability and contributed to cell apoptosis of PCa cell lines.

[PMID: 37801209 PMCID: PMC10827950 DOI: 10.1007/s11739-023-03442-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
It is known that, a not physiological blood pressure (BP) circadian pattern has been associated with increased risk of organ damage and cardiovascular (CV) event. The aim of this study was to assess the association between circadian BP pattern and glucometabolic phenotypes occurring after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We recruited 810 hypertensive Caucasian patients. All participants underwent to OGTT, laboratory test and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). The analysis of collected data allowed classifying patients based on nocturnal BP profiles into four categories: dippers, non-dippers, extreme dippers, and reverse dippers. Considering the dipping pattern, the proportion of non-dippers in normal glucose tolerance patients with 1-h glucose ≥ 155 mg/dL (NGT ≥ 155) (36.4%) was higher than NGT < 155 (29.6%) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (34.8%), but lower than type 2 diabetes group (T2DM) (52.6%) (p = 0.001). The proportion of dippers was lower in NGT ≥ 155 (47%) and T2DM (34.6%), when compared with NGT < 155 (53.8%) and IGT (51.2%) (p = 0.017). From logistic regression analysis, 1-h glucose ≥ 155 increased the risk of a pathological nocturnal drop in BP by 74%, (OR = 1.740, 95% CI 1.254-2.415, p < 0.0001). In addition, the improvement in 1 unit of Matsuda was responsible for a 3.5% risk decrease (OR = 0.965, 95% CI 0.958-0.971, p < 0.0001), while e-GFR determined a 0.9% risk reduction of nocturnal BP drop (OR = 0.991, 95% CI 0.984-0.999, p = 0.020). Our data demonstrated the existence, in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, of an association between circadian BP profile and altered glycemic response during OGTT, in particular NGT ≥ 155 subjects are associated with a non-dipper BP pattern, this is clinically relevant because may explain, at least in part, the increased CV risk in this setting of patients.

Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol 2024; 17:119-130.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clinical hypertension trials typically rely on homeostatic principles, including single time-of-day office blood pressure (BP) measurements (OBPM), rather than circadian chronopharmacological principles, including ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) done around-the-clock to derive the asleep systolic BP (SBP) mean and sleep-time relative SBP decline - jointly the strongest prognosticators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and true definition of hypertension - to qualify participants and assess outcomes. AREAS COVERED Eight chronopharmacological elements are indispensable for design and conduct of hypertension medication trials, mainly those on ingestion-time differences in effects, and also a means of rating quality of investigations. Accordingly, we highlight the findings and shortcomings of: (i) 155 such ingestion-time trials, 83.9% finding at-bedtime/evening treatment more beneficial than conventional upon-awakening/morning treatment; (ii) HOPE and ONTARGET CVD outcomes investigations assessing in the former add-on ramipril at-bedtime and in the latter telmisartan, ramipril, or both in combination in the morning; and (iii) pragmatic TIME CVD outcomes trial. EXPERT OPINION Failure to incorporate chronopharmacological principals - including ABPM to derive asleep SBP and SBP dipping to qualify subjects as hypertensive and assess CVD risk - results in deficient study design, dubious findings, and unnecessary medical controversy at the expense of advances in patient care.

Bommarito JC, Millar PJ. Effects of aerobic exercise on ambulatory blood pressure responses to acute partial sleep deprivation: impact of chronotype and sleep quality. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2024; 326:H291-H301. [PMID: 38038716 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00441.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) follows a circadian rhythm intertwined with the sleep-wake cycle. Acute partial sleep deprivation (PSD; sleep ≤ 6 h) can increase BP, associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Acute exercise can reduce BP for up to 24 h, a phenomenon termed postexercise hypotension. The present study tested whether aerobic exercise could mitigate the augmented 24-h ambulatory BP caused by acute PSD. Twenty-four young otherwise healthy adults (22 ± 3 yr; 14 females; self-reported chronotypes: 6 early/10 intermediate/8 late; Pittsburgh sleep quality index: 17 good/7 poor sleepers) completed a randomized crossover trial in which, on different days, they slept normally (2300-0700), restricted sleep [0330-0700 (PSD)], and cycled for 50 min (70-80% predicted heart rate maximum) before PSD. Ambulatory BP was assessed every 30 min until 2100 the next day. Acute PSD increased 24-h systolic BP (control 117 ± 9 mmHg, PSD 122 ± 9 mmHg; P < 0.001) and prior exercise attenuated (exercise + PSD 120 ± 9 mmHg; P = 0.04 vs. PSD) but did not fully reverse this response (exercise + PSD, P = 0.02 vs. control). Subgroup analysis revealed that the 24-h systolic BP reduction following exercise was specific to late types (PSD 119 ± 7 vs. exercise + PSD 116 ± 6 mmHg; P < 0.05). Overall, habitual sleep quality was negatively correlated with the change in daytime systolic BP following PSD (r = -0.56, P < 0.01). These findings suggest that the ability of aerobic cycling exercise to counteract the hemodynamic effects of acute PSD in young adults may be dependent on chronotype and that habitual sleep quality can predict the daytime BP response to acute PSD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We demonstrate that cycling exercise attenuates, but does not fully reverse, the augmented 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) response caused by acute partial sleep deprivation (PSD). This response was primarily observed in late chronotypes. Furthermore, daytime BP after acute PSD is related to habitual sleep quality, with better sleepers being more prone to BP elevations. This suggests that habitual sleeping habits can influence BP responses to acute PSD and their interactions with prior cycling exercise.

Effect of oral melatonin treatment on insulin resistance and diurnal blood pressure variability in night shift workers. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Night shift work is associated with sleep disturbances, obesity, and cardiometabolic diseases. Disruption of the circadian clock system has been suggested to be an independent cause of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in shift workers. We aimed to improve alignment of circadian timing with social and environmental factors with administration of melatonin. METHODS In a randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective study, we analysed the effects of 2 mg of sustained-release melatonin versus placebo on glucose tolerance, insulin resistance indices, sleep quality, circadian profiles of plasma melatonin and cortisol, and diurnal blood pressure profiles in 24 rotating night shift workers during 12 weeks of treatment, followed by 12 weeks of wash-out. In a novel design, the time of melatonin administration (at night or in the morning) depended upon the shift schedule. We also compared the baseline profiles of the night shift (NS) workers with 12 healthy non-night shift (NNS)-working controls. RESULTS We found significantly impaired indices of insulin resistance at baseline in NS versus NNS (p < 0.05), but no differences in oral glucose tolerance tests nor in the diurnal profiles of melatonin, cortisol, or blood pressure. Twelve weeks of melatonin treatment did not significantly improve insulin resistance, nor did it significantly affect diurnal blood pressure or melatonin and cortisol profiles. Melatonin administration, however, caused a significant improvement in sleep quality which was significantly impaired in NS versus NNS at baseline (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Rotating night shift work causes mild-to-moderate impairment of sleep quality and insulin resistance. Melatonin treatment at bedtime improves sleep quality, but does not significantly affect insulin resistance in rotating night shift workers after 12 weeks of administration.

Abstract
Despite the advancement in blood pressure (BP) lowering medications, uncontrolled hypertension persists, underscoring a stagnation of effective clinical strategies. Novel and effective lifestyle therapies are needed to prevent and manage hypertension to mitigate future progression to cardiovascular and chronic kidney diseases. Chrono-nutrition, aligning the timing of eating with environmental cues and internal biological clocks, has emerged as a potential strategy to improve BP in high-risk populations. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the circadian physiology of BP with an emphasis on renal and vascular circadian biology. The potential of Chrono-nutrition as a lifestyle intervention for hypertension is discussed and current evidence for the efficacy of time-restricted eating is presented.

J Hum Hypertens 2023; 37:880-890. [PMID: 36599899 DOI: 10.1038/s41371-022-00799-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 12/11/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Intradialytic hypotension and intradialytic hypertension are complications of hemodialysis (HD) associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. Blood pressure (BP) normally fluctuates in a circadian pattern, but whether the risk of intradialytic hypotension and intradialytic hypertension varies according to the time of the HD session is unknown. We analyzed two cohorts of thrice-weekly maintenance HD (N = 1838 patients/n = 64,503 sessions from the Hemodialysis [HEMO] Study, and N = 3302 patients/n = 33,590 sessions from Satellite Healthcare). Random effects logistic regression models examined the association of HD start time (at or before 9:00 a.m. [early AM], between 9:01 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. [late AM], and at or after 12:01 p.m. [PM]) with intradialytic hypotension (defined as nadir intra-HD systolic BP (SBP) < 90 mmHg if pre-HD SBP < 160 mmHg, or <100 mmHg if pre-HD SBP ≥ 160 mmHg) and intradialytic hypertension (SBP increase ≥ 10 mmHg from pre-HD to post-HD). Compared to early AM, late AM and PM were associated with an 8% (aOR 0.92, 95% CI 0.83-1.02) and a 16% (aOR 0.84, 95% CI 0.75-0.95) lower risk of intradialytic hypotension in HEMO, respectively. Conversely, compared to early AM, a monotonic higher risk of intradialytic hypertension was observed for late AM (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.12-1.35) and PM (aOR 1.41, 95% CI 1.27-1.56) in HEMO. These findings were consistent in Satellite. In two large cohorts of maintenance HD, we observed a monotonic lower risk of intradialytic hypotension and a monotonic higher risk of intradialytic hypertension with later dialysis start times. Whether HD treatment allocation to certain times of the day in hypotensive-prone or hypertensive-prone patients improves outcomes deserves further investigation.

Alzheimers Dement 2023; 19:4357-4366. [PMID: 37394941 PMCID: PMC10597747 DOI: 10.1002/alz.13356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term blood pressure (BP) measures, such as visit-to-visit BP variability (BPV) and cumulative BP, are strong indicators of cardiovascular risks. This study modeled up to 20 years of BP patterns representative of midlife by using BPV and cumulative BP, then examined their associations with development of dementia in later life. METHODS For 3201 individuals from the Framingham Heart Study, multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between long-term BP patterns during midlife and the development of dementia (ages ≥ 65). RESULTS After adjusting for covariates, every quartile increase in midlife cumulative BP was associated with a sequential increase in the risk of developing dementia (e.g., highest quartile of cumulative systolic blood pressure had approximately 2.5-fold increased risk of all-cause dementia). BPV was not significantly associated with dementia. DISCUSSION Findings suggest that cumulative BP over the course of midlife predicts risk of dementia in later life. HIGHLIGHTS Long-term blood pressure (BP) patterns are strong indicators of vascular risks. Cumulative BP and BP variability (BPV) were used to reflect BP patterns across midlife. High cumulative BP in midlife is associated with increased dementia risk. Visit-to-visit BPV was not associated with the onset of dementia.

Abstract
AIM Little is known regarding the association between breakfast type and cardiovascular mortality. We examined the associations between breakfast type and risks of mortality from stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), and total cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS A total of 85,319 males and females aged 40 to 79 years who were free from CVD and cancers at baseline were involved in this study. The participants were divided into five groups according to their self-reported breakfast types: Japanese breakfast, Western breakfast, mixed Japanese-Western breakfast, other breakfast, and skipping breakfast groups. All hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models after adjusting for the potential confounding factors. RESULTS During the median 19-year follow-up, we identified CVD deaths of 5,870 subjects. Compared to the Japanese breakfast, the multivariable HRs (95% CIs) of total CVD were 0.64 (0.52-0.79) for mixed Japanese-Western breakfast, 0.90 (0.77-1.04) for Western breakfast, 1.24 (0.95-1.61) for other breakfast, and 1.31 (1.00-1.71) for skipping breakfast. The corresponding HRs (95% CIs) of total stroke were 0.67 (0.49-0.91), 0.83 (0.66-1.05), 1.15 (0.76-1.74), and 1.25 (0.82-1.92), and those of CHD were 0.73 (0.48-1.12), 1.08 (0.81-1.44), 1.09 (0.60-1.98), and 1.77 (1.11-2.83). CONCLUSION Compared to Japanese breakfast, mixed Japanese-Western breakfast may have a protective role in cardiovascular mortality whereas skipping breakfast may harm cardiovascular health.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the alterations in blood pressure (BP) during midday and the changes in circadian BP patterns in the acute phase of ischemic stroke (AIS) with the severity of stroke and their predictive role outcomes within 3 months. A total of 228 AIS patients (a prospective multicenter follow-up study) underwent 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Mean BP parameters during the day (7:00-22:59), the midday (13:00-16:59), and the night (23:00-6:59), and midday and nocturnal dipping were calculated. Midday SBP dippers had less severe stroke, lower incidence of hypertension and SBP/DBP on admission, lower levels of serum glucose and WBCs, and delayed initiation of ABPM compared to risers. There was a reverse relation between midday SBP dipping and both nocturnal dipping and stroke severity. The "double dippers" (midday and nocturnal dipping) had the least severe stroke, the lowest SBP/DBP on admission, the lowest heart rate from ABPM, and a lower risk of an unfavorable outcome, while the "double risers" had the opposite results, by an approximately five-fold risk of death/disability at 3 months. These findings indicate different circadian BP patterns during the acute phase of AIS, which could be considered a marker of stroke severity and prognosis.

Life (Basel) 2023; 13:1606. [PMID: 37511981 PMCID: PMC10381249 DOI: 10.3390/life13071606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The passive leg-raising (PLR) test was developed to predict fluid responsiveness and reduce fluid overload. However, the hemodynamic response of healthy individuals to the PLR test and how it changes during the day, between the morning and evening, after individuals have consumed food and fluids, has not been profoundly explored. This study aimed to compare the systemic hemodynamic changes in healthy individuals between morning and evening PLR tests. METHODS In this study, the PLR test was performed twice a day. The first PLR test was performed between 08h00 and 09h00 in the morning, while the second PLR test was performed between 20h00 and 21h00 in the evening. Hemodynamic parameters were measured using an impedance cardiography monitor, and a cutoff value of a 10% increase in stroke volume (SV) during the PLR test was used to differentiate between preload responders and non-responders. RESULTS We included 50 healthy volunteers in this study. When comparing the morning and evening PLR test results, we found no PLR-induced differences in heart rate (-3 [-8-2] vs. -2 [-8-4] beats/min, p = 0.870), SV (11 [5-22] vs. 12 [4-20] mL, p = 0.853) or cardiac output (0.7 [0.2-1.3] vs. 0.8 [0.1-1.4] L/min, p = 0.639). We also observed no differences in the proportion of preload responders during the PLR test between the morning and evening (64% vs. 66%, p = 0.99). However, there was a moderate agreement between the two PLR tests (morning and evening) (kappa = 0.429, p = 0.012). There was a moderate correlation between the changes in SV between the two PLR tests (rs = 0.50, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In young, healthy individuals, we observed no change in the systemic hemodynamic responsiveness to the PLR test between the morning and evening, without restriction of fluid and food intake.

Abstract
The emergence of TMexCD1-TOprJ1, a novel transferable resistance-nodulation-division (RND)-type efflux pump conferring resistance to tigecycline, is now a serious public health issue in the world. Here, we found that melatonin synergistically enhanced the antibacterial efficacy of tigecycline against tmexCD1-toprJ1-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae by disrupting the proton driving force and efflux function to promote the accumulation of tigecycline into cells, damaging cell membrane integrity and causing the leakage of cell contents. The synergistic effect was further validated by a murine thigh infection model. The results revealed that the melatonin/tigecycline combination is a potential therapy to combat resistant bacteria carrying the tmexCD1-toprJ1 gene.

Abstract
Our study is based on Beck's cognitive stress-vulnerability theory of depression and research on (a) disparities in elevated blood pressure between adolescents from minority and majority backgrounds, (b) the effects of perceived everyday discrimination (PED) on depression and elevated blood pressure, and (c) the associations between depression and cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of our study is to integrate Beck's model and the different research lines by examining the associations of the stressor PED and depressive symptoms with blood pressure through the cognitive vulnerability of dysfunctional attitudes in adolescents. In our cross-sectional study, 97 adolescents (40% female) aged 13 to 15 (M = 14.15, SD = .53) who identified as Black (47.5%), white (47.5%), and mixed race (5%) completed self-reports of PED, dysfunctional attitudes, and depressive symptoms and had their blood pressure measured. We used the PROCESS command tool for SPSS to compute OLS regressions and direct, indirect, and total effects of PED, dysfunctional attitudes, and depressive symptoms on blood pressure. As predicted, our analyses revealed that PED predicts dysfunctional attitudes and depressive symptoms, dysfunctional attitudes predict marginally significant depressive symptoms and significantly systolic blood pressure. Our findings highlight the relevance of PED and dysfunctional attitudes for adolescents mental (i.e., depressive symptoms) and physical health (i.e., blood pressure). If this pattern is replicated, systemic interventions to reduce PED and individual interventions to address dysfunctional attitudes in adolescents could be promising to improve both mental (i.e., depressive symptoms) and physical health (i.e., BP).

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most prominent features of living organisms is their circadian rhythm, which governs a wide range of physiological processes and plays a critical role in maintaining optimal health and function in response to daily environmental changes. This work applied bibliometric analysis to explore quantitative and qualitative trends in circadian rhythm in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It also aims to identify research hotspots and provide fresh suggestions for future research. METHODS The Web of Science Core Collection was used to search the data on circadian rhythm in CVD. HistCite, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were used for bibliometric analysis and visualization. The analysis included the overall distribution of yearly outputs, top nations, active institutions and authors, core journals, co-cited references, and keywords. To assess the quality and efficacy of publications, the total global citation score (TGCS) and total local citation score (TLCS) were calculated. RESULTS There were 2102 papers found to be associated with the circadian rhythm in CVD, with the overall number of publications increasing year after year. The United States had the most research citations and was the most prolific country. Hermida RC, Young ME, and Ayala DE were the top three writers. The three most notable journals on the subject were Chronobiology International, Hypertension Research, and Hypertension. In the early years, the major emphasis of circadian rhythm in CVD was hormones. Inflammation, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction were the top developing research hotspots. CONCLUSION Circadian rhythm in CVD has recently received a lot of interest from the medical field. These topics, namely inflammation, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction, are critical areas of investigation for understanding the role of circadian rhythm in CVD. Although they may not be future research priorities, they remain of significant importance. In addition, how to implement these chronotherapy theories in clinical practice will depend on additional clinical trials to get sufficient trustworthy clinical evidence.

Abstract
Chronotype is linked to adverse health measures and may have important associations with obstructive sleep apnea and blood pressure, but data are limited. This study aimed to determine the separate and combined associations of chronotype with obstructive sleep apnea and blood pressure in a middle-aged community population. Adults (n = 811) from the Raine Study (female = 59.2%; age mean [range] = 56.6 [42.1-76.6] years) were assessed for chronotype (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire), blood pressure and hypertension (doctor diagnosed or systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic ≥ 90 mmHg), and obstructive sleep apnea at different in-laboratory apnea-hypopnea index thresholds (5, 10, 15 events per hr). Linear and logistic regression models examined relationships between chronotype and the presence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea, blood pressure, hypertension, and blood pressure stratified by obstructive sleep apnea severity at above-mentioned apnea-hypopnea index thresholds. Covariates included age, sex, body mass index, alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, sleep duration, anti-hypertensive medication, insomnia, and depressive symptoms. Most participants were categorised as morning (40%) or intermediate (43%), with 17% meeting criteria for evening chronotypes. Participants with apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr and morning chronotype had higher systolic (9.9 mmHg, p < 0.001) and a trend for higher diastolic blood pressure (3.4 mmHg, p = 0.07) compared with those with an evening chronotype, and higher systolic blood pressure compared with those with an intermediate chronotype (4.8 mmHg, p = 0.03). Across chronotype categories, no differences in systolic or diastolic blood pressure or odds of hypertension were found at apnea-hypopnea index thresholds of ≥ 5 or ≥ 10 events per hr. Among participants with apnea-hypopnea index ≥ 15 events per hr, systolic blood pressure is higher in those with a morning chronotype than evening and intermediate chronotypes. Assessment for morning chronotype may improve risk stratification for hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
The relationship between sleep dynamics and blood pressure (BP) changes is well established. Moreover, sleep efficiency and wakefulness during sleep (WASO) events have a significant impact on BP dipping. Despite this knowledge, there is limited research on the measurement of sleep dynamics and continuous blood pressure (CBP). This study aims to explore the relationship between sleep efficiency and cardiovascular function indicators such as pulse transit time (PTT), as a biomarker of CBP, and heart rate variability (HRV), measured using wearable sensors. The results of the study conducted on 20 participants at the UConn Health Sleep Disorders Center suggest a strong linear relationship between sleep efficiency and changes in PTT (r2 = 0.8515) and HRV during sleep (r2 = 5886). The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the relationship between sleep dynamics, CBP, and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a significant global burden. Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor for rapid progression of CKD. Methods We extend the risk stratification by introducing the non-parametric determination of rhythmic components in 24-hour profiles of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in the African American Study for Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) cohort and the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) using Cox proportional hazards models. Results We find that rhythmic profiling of BP through JTK_Cycle analysis identifies subgroups of CRIC participants at advanced risk of cardiovascular death. CRIC participants with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and absent cyclic components in their BP profile had at any time a 3.4-times higher risk of cardiovascular death than CVD patients with cyclic components present in their BP profile (HR: 3.38, 95% CI: 1.45-7.88, p=0.005). This substantially increased risk was independent of whether ABPM followed a dipping or non-dipping pattern whereby non-dipping or reverse dipping were not significantly associated with cardiovascular death in patients with prior CVD (p>0.1). In the AASK cohort, unadjusted models demonstrate a higher risk in reaching end stage renal disease among participants without rhythmic ABPM components (HR:1.80, 95% CI: 1.10-2.96); however, full adjustment abolished this association. Conclusions This study proposes rhythmic blood pressure components as a novel biomarker to unmask excess risk among CKD patients with prior cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
In recent years, in-depth research on chronobiology has been conducted, and the circadian rhythm has become a new target for the treatment of diseases. Circadian rhythms are closely related to the normal physiological functions of organisms. Increasing evidence indicates that circadian rhythm disorders are the pathological basis of diseases such as sleep disorders, depression, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. As an economical, safe, and effective treatment method, electroacupuncture has been widely used in clinical practice. In this paper, we summarize the current literature on electroacupuncture's regulation of circadian rhythm disorders and circadian clock genes. In addition, we briefly explore the optimization of electroacupuncture intervention programmes and the feasibility of implementing electroacupuncture intervention programmes at selected times in clinical practice. We conclude that electroacupuncture may have good application prospects in circadian rhythm regulation, but this conclusion needs to be confirmed by clinical trials.

Abstract
FMRP, an RNA-binding protein, has previously shown to be involved in regulation of circadian rhythms in flies and mice. However, the molecular mechanism remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that core circadian component Per1 mRNA was a target of FMRP and the association leads to reduced PER1 expression. In Fmr1 KO mice, the oscillation of PER1 protein expression was significantly affected in a temporal and tissue-dependent pattern when compared to WT mice. Our work thus identified Per1 mRNA as a novel target of FMRP and suggested a potential role of FMRP in regulation of circadian function.

UPLC-MS/MS simultaneous quantification of urinary circadian rhythm hormones and related metabolites: Application to air traffic controllers. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2023; 1222:123664. [PMID: 37040674 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
Civil aviation flight crew and civil aviation air traffic controllers are prone to circadian rhythm abnormalities, which can lead to a slew of other maladies. It could endanger people's health and provide a serious threat to the safety of civil aviation flights if it is not appropriately evaluated and addressed. Early detection of rhythm irregularities and prompt treatment for particular populations that are vulnerable to rhythm disorders are crucial for enhancing civil aviation safety. In general, monitoring of the classical circadian rhythm biomarkers (melatonin or cortisol) in plasma or saliva is an effective way to evaluate the rhythm status. Due to the challenging sample procedure and the trauma of plasma, urine sample testing has received an increasing amount of attention. While, urine circadian rhythm biomarkers have seldom been examined, and the relationship between urinary steroid hormones and melatonin is still poorly understood. In most cases, hormones are determined by immunoassays respectively, mainly enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or radioimmunoassay (RIA). There are also reports describing the liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique as a method of melatonin or few steroid hormones quantification, however, the simultaneous detection of multiple rhythmic hormones in human urine is rarely reported. For the quantification of the rhythmic hormones in human urine, an accurate approach using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was devised in this work. Nine endogenous hormones (melatonin, 6-hydroxymelatonin, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, cortisol, corticosterone, cortisone, testosterone, epitestosterone and androsterone), in human overnight urine, were quantified after solid phase extraction (SPE). A reverse phase HSS C18 column was used for chromatographic separation with a 9-minute gradient elution and deuterated analogues of each analyte were applied as internal standards. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of 596 overnight urine samples (23:00-9:00) collected from 84 air traffic controllers in the Beijing area during shift work. This study's findings showed a clear correlation not only between melatonin and its metabolites; cortisol-related metabolites, but also between melatonin metabolites and endogenous metabolites upstream and downstream of cortisol, implying that these two categories of hormones can be used as potential biological rhythm indicators to provide circadian rhythm data support for future studies on circadian rhythm disorders.

Abstract
The circadian clock is an evolutionary molecular product that is associated with better adaptation to changes in the external environment. Disruption of the circadian rhythm plays a critical role in tumorigenesis of many kinds of cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). Integrating circadian rhythm into PCa research not only brings a closer understanding of the mechanisms of PCa but also provides new and effective options for the precise treatment of patients with PCa. This review begins with patterns of the circadian clock, highlights the role of the disruption of circadian rhythms in PCa at the epidemiological and molecular levels, and discusses possible new approaches to PCa therapy that target the circadian clock.

Abstract
Driven by autonomous molecular clocks that are synchronized by a master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, cardiac physiology fluctuates in diurnal rhythms that can be partly or entirely circadian. Cardiac contractility, metabolism, and electrophysiology, all have diurnal rhythms, as does the neurohumoral control of cardiac and kidney function. In this review, we discuss the evidence that circadian biology regulates cardiac function, how molecular clocks may relate to the pathogenesis of heart failure, and how chronotherapeutics might be applied in heart failure. Disrupting molecular clocks can lead to heart failure in animal models, and the myocardial response to injury seems to be conditioned by the time of day. Human studies are consistent with these findings, and they implicate the clock and circadian rhythms in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Certain circadian rhythms are maintained in patients with heart failure, a factor that can guide optimal timing of therapy. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic manipulation of circadian rhythms and molecular clocks show promise in the prevention and treatment of heart failure.

Adrenal-Specific KO of the Circadian Clock Protein BMAL1 Alters Blood Pressure Rhythm and Timing of Eating Behavior. FUNCTION 2023; 4:zqad001.

Abstract
Brain and muscle ARNT-like 1 (BMAL1) is a core circadian clock protein and transcription factor that regulates many physiological functions, including blood pressure (BP). Male global Bmal1 knockout (KO) mice exhibit ∼10 mmHg reduction in BP, as well as a blunting of BP rhythm. The mechanisms of how BMAL1 regulates BP remains unclear. The adrenal gland synthesizes hormones, including glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, that influence BP rhythm. To determine the role of adrenal BMAL1 on BP regulation, adrenal-specific Bmal1 (ASCre/+ ::Bmal1) KO mice were generated using aldosterone synthase Cre recombinase to KO Bmal1 in the adrenal gland zona glomerulosa. We confirmed the localization and efficacy of the KO of BMAL1 to the zona glomerulosa. Male ASCre/+ ::Bmal1 KO mice displayed a shortened BP and activity period/circadian cycle (typically 24 h) by ∼1 h and delayed peak of BP and activity by ∼2 and 3 h, respectively, compared with littermate Cre- control mice. This difference was only evident when KO mice were in metabolic cages, which acted as a stressor, as serum corticosterone was increased in metabolic cages compared with home cages. AS Cre/+ ::Bmal1 KO mice also displayed altered diurnal variation in serum corticosterone. Furthermore, these mice have altered eating behaviors where they have a blunted night/day ratio of food intake, but no change in overall food consumed compared with controls. Overall, these data suggest that adrenal BMAL1 has a role in the regulation of BP rhythm and eating behaviors.

Multiplatform-Integrated Identification of Melatonin Targets for a Triad of Psychosocial-Sleep/Circadian-Cardiometabolic Disorders. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24010860. [PMID: 36614302 PMCID: PMC9821171 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24010860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Several psychosocial, sleep/circadian, and cardiometabolic disorders have intricately interconnected pathologies involving melatonin disruption. Therefore, we hypothesize that melatonin could be a therapeutic target for treating potential comorbid diseases associated with this triad of psychosocial-sleep/circadian-cardiometabolic disorders. We investigated melatonin's target prediction and tractability for this triad of disorders. The melatonin's target prediction for the proposed psychosocial-sleep/circadian-cardiometabolic disorder triad was investigated using databases from Europe PMC, ChEMBL, Open Targets Genetics, Phenodigm, and PheWAS. The association scores for melatonin receptors MT1 and MT2 with this disorder triad were explored for evidence of target-disease predictions. The potential of melatonin as a tractable target in managing the disorder triad was investigated using supervised machine learning to identify melatonin activities in cardiovascular, neuronal, and metabolic assays at the cell, tissue, and organism levels in a curated ChEMBL database. Target-disease visualization was done by graphs created using "igraph" library-based scripts and displayed using the Gephi ForceAtlas algorithm. The combined Europe PMC (data type: text mining), ChEMBL (data type: drugs), Open Targets Genetics Portal (data type: genetic associations), PhenoDigm (data type: animal models), and PheWAS (data type: genetic associations) databases yielded types and varying levels of evidence for melatonin-disease triad correlations. Of the investigated databases, 235 association scores of melatonin receptors with the targeted diseases were greater than 0.2; to classify the evidence per disease class: 37% listed psychosocial disorders, 9% sleep/circadian disorders, and 54% cardiometabolic disorders. Using supervised machine learning, 546 cardiovascular, neuronal, or metabolic experimental assays with predicted or measured melatonin activity scores were identified in the ChEMBL curated database. Of 248 registered trials, 144 phase I to IV trials for melatonin or agonists have been completed, of which 33.3% were for psychosocial disorders, 59.7% were for sleep/circadian disorders, and 6.9% were for cardiometabolic disorders. Melatonin's druggability was evidenced by evaluating target prediction and tractability for the triad of psychosocial-sleep/circadian-cardiometabolic disorders. While melatonin research and development in sleep/circadian and psychosocial disorders is more advanced, as evidenced by melatonin association scores, substantial evidence on melatonin discovery in cardiovascular and metabolic disorders supports continued R&D in cardiometabolic disorders, as evidenced by melatonin activity scores. A multiplatform analysis provided an integrative assessment of the target-disease investigations that may justify further translational research.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that appears to have been as prevalent in ancient as in modern civilizations, is predisposing to life-threatening and life-ending cardiac and vascular complications, such as myocardial and cerebral infarctions. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis involves intima plaque buildup caused by vascular endothelial dysfunction, cholesterol deposition, smooth muscle proliferation, inflammatory cell infiltration and connective tissue accumulation. Hypertension is an independent and controllable risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Conversely, atherosclerosis hardens the arterial wall and raises arterial blood pressure. Many CVD patients experience both atherosclerosis and hypertension and are prescribed medications to concurrently mitigate the two disease conditions. A substantial number of publications document that many pathophysiological changes caused by atherosclerosis and hypertension occur in a manner dependent upon circadian clocks or clock gene products. This article reviews progress in the research of circadian regulation of vascular cell function, inflammation, hemostasis and atherothrombosis. In particular, it delineates the relationship of circadian organization with signal transduction and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system as well as disturbance of the sleep/wake circadian rhythm, as exemplified by shift work, metabolic syndromes and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as promoters and mechanisms of atherogenesis and risk for non-fatal and fatal CVD outcomes. This article additionally updates advances in the clinical management of key biological processes of atherosclerosis to optimally achieve suppression of atherogenesis through chronotherapeutic control of atherogenic/hypertensive pathological sequelae.

Abstract
Midlife hypertension increases risk for dementia. Around one third of adults have diagnosed hypertension; however, many adults are undiagnosed, or remain hypertensive despite diagnosis or treatment. Since blood pressure (BP) follows a circadian rhythm, ambulatory BP monitoring allows for the assessment of BP over a 24-hour period and provides an important tool for improving the diagnosis and management of hypertension. The measurement of 24-hour BP profiles, especially nocturnal BP, demonstrate better predictive ability for cardiovascular disease and mortality than office measurement. However, few studies have examined 24-hour BP profiles with respect to dementia risk. This is an important topic since improvements in BP management could facilitate the primary prevention of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia. Therefore, this review discusses the evidence linking BP to dementia, with a focus on whether the implementation of 24-hour BP measurements can improve risk prediction and prevention strategies. Pathways linking nocturnal BP to dementia are also discussed as are risk reduction strategies. Overall, limited research suggests an association between 24-hour BP elevation and poorer cognition, cerebral small vessel disease, and dementia. However, most studies were cross-sectional. Further evidence is needed to substantiate 24-hour BP profiles, over and above office BP, as predictors of vascular cognitive impairment and incident dementia.

Abstract
Chronopharmacology of arterial hypertension impacts the long-term cardiovascular risk of hypertensive subjects. Therefore, clinical and computational studies have proposed optimizing antihypertensive medications' dosing time (Ta). However, the causes and mechanisms underlying the Ta-dependency antihypertensive effect have not been elucidated. Here we propose using a Ta- dependent effect model to understand and predict the antihypertensive effect of valsartan and aspirin throughout the day in subjects with grade I or II essential hypertension. The model based on physiological regulation mechanisms includes a periodic function for each parameter that changes significantly after treatment. Circadian variations of parameters depending on the dosing time allowed the determination of regulation mechanisms dependent on the circadian rhythm that were most relevant for the action of each drug. In the case of valsartan, it is the regulation of vasodilation and systemic vascular resistance. In the case of aspirin, the antithrombotic effect generates changes in the sensitivity of systemic vascular resistance and heart rate to changes in physical activity. Dosing time-dependent models predict a more significant effect on systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure when administering valsartan or aspirin at bedtime. However, circadian dependence on the regulation mechanisms showed different sensitivity of their circadian parameters and shapes of functions, presenting different phase shifts and amplitude. Therefore, different mechanisms of action and pharmacokinetic properties of each drug can generate different profiles of Ta-dependence of antihypertensive effect and optimal dosing times.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are a common death cause in type 2 diabetes patients, as they are often combined. Plasminogen-activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) participates in the development and progression of cardiovascular complications in diabetes. Insulin resistance increases PAI-1 production, and high PAI-1 levels lead to an environment conducive to thrombosis and earlier and more severe vascular disease. Current evidence also suggests that PAI-1 has a rhythmic profile of circadian fluctuations and acrophase in the morning within a single day, which might explain the high morning incidence of cardiovascular events. Thus, PAI-1 is a possible drug target. Although several PAI-1 inhibitors have been developed, none have yet been allowed for clinical use. Research on rhythm has also led to the concept of "chronotherapy", a rhythm-based drug regimen expected to improve the treatment of cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. Herein, we searched several databases and reviewed relevant articles to describe the circadian rhythm characteristics and endogenous molecular mechanisms of PAI-1, its relationship with insulin resistance, the causes of cardiovascular complications caused by PAI-1, and the current development of PAI-1 inhibitors. We also summarized the possibility of using the circadian rhythm of PAI-1 to treat cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.

Dosing time optimization of antihypertensive medications by including the circadian rhythm in pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models. PLoS Comput Biol 2022; 18:e1010711. [DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1010711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Revised: 11/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) follows a circadian variation, increasing during active hours, showing a small postprandial valley and a deeper decrease during sleep. Nighttime reduction of 10–20% relative to daytime BP is defined as a dipper pattern, and a reduction of less than 10%, as a non-dipper pattern. Despite this BP variability, hypertension’s diagnostic criteria and therapeutic objectives are usually based on BP average values. Indeed, studies have shown that chrono-pharmacological optimization significantly reduces long-term cardiovascular risk if a BP dipper pattern is maintained. Changes in the effect of antihypertensive medications can be explained by circadian variations in their pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD). Nevertheless, BP circadian variation has been scarcely included in PK-PD models of antihypertensive medications to date. In this work, we developed PK-PD models that include circadian rhythm to find the optimal dosing time (Ta) of first-line antihypertensive medications for dipper and non-dipper patterns. The parameters of the PK-PD models were estimated using global optimization, and models were selected according to the lowest corrected Akaike information criterion value. Simultaneously, sensitivity and identifiability analysis were performed to determine the relevance of the parameters and establish those that can be estimated. Subsequently, Ta parameters were optimized to maximize the effect on BP average, BP peaks, and sleep-time dip. As a result, all selected models included at least one circadian PK component, and circadian parameters had the highest sensitivity. Furthermore, Ta with which BP>130/80 mmHg and a dip of 10–20% are achieved were proposed when possible. We show that the optimal Ta depends on the therapeutic objective, the medication, and the BP profile. Therefore, our results suggest making chrono-pharmacological recommendations in a personalized way.

Abstract
High blood pressure (BP) is reported to be accounted for more than 10 million deaths, and the high prevalence of hypertension is a global issue. Exercise is known to reduce BP and the optimal exercise prescription has been discussed. Furthermore, since the circadian clock plays an important role in BP regulation and its related physiological functions, the time-of-day difference in the effect of exercise on BP is suggested. However, when people should regularly exercise for the prevention of hypertension remains unclear. In this cross-sectional research, we analyzed the association of habitual exercise and BP depending on their performed timing, time length, and frequency for three levels of intensity from an analysis of questionnaire answered by Japanese male workers (N = 2,343, mean age ± SE = 49.2 ± 0.2 years old, date: June 2021). From the subjects who responded, subjects with irregularly high or low BP, no regular physical activity or under the treatment of hypertension were excluded from the analysis. From the comparison of SBP and DBP between those who performed physical activity at each time period, vigorous or moderate physical activity in the evening (18:00–21:00) showed significantly lower average BP. On the other hand, those who walked in early morning (03:00–06:00) showed higher DBP. These time-specific differences were confirmed from multiple regression analysis, eliminating the confounding factors such as age and BMI. When participants were divided into groups according to their BP, compared to normal BP groups, higher BP groups exercised less in the evening. Our findings suggest that when to exercise is important, and that exercising in the evening (18:00–21:00) may be better to achieve the hypotensive effect of exercise.
