Radiologic evaluation of orbital index among Ghanaians using CT scan
Orbital index (OI) expresses the proportion of the orbital height to the orbital width and varies with race, regions within the same race and periods in evolution. This index is useful in forensic medicine, an... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Association between high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and hypertension in relation to circulating CD34-positive cell levels
Although high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL) level is inversely correlated with cardiovascular events, HDL is also reported to be positively associated with hypertension, which is a known endothelial im... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

The association of insertions/deletions (INDELs) and variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) with obesity and its related traits and complications
Despite the fact that insertions/deletions (INDELs) are the second most common type of genetic variations and variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) represent a large portion of the human genome, they have rec... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)

Can tryptophan supplement intake at breakfast enhance melatonin secretion at night?
Tryptophan (TRP) is an essential amino acid, and it has been suggested that TRP intake at breakfast combined with daytime bright light exposure can increase nocturnal melatonin secretion. However, the mechanis... (Source: Journal of Physiological Anthropology)
