Fasting Serum Glucose and Cholesterol as Predictors of Cardiovascular Reactivity to Acute Stress in a Sample of African American College Students.

This finding may be due to the association of glucose with diabetes, which is more prevalent in African Americans. PMID: 26118145 [PubMed - in process]
