Abstract: . . . further 12 months follow-up. The program achieved improvements in a range of health-related behaviours and Page 4 cardiovascular risk factors in overweight men and women being treated with drugs to control hypertension . Program group individuals achieved a greater weight loss, a greater decrease in waist circumference, cholesterol and triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate at the end of the program and at . . . . . . The department has a strong background in analytical chemistry and biochemistry. The Biomedical Mass Spectrometry Unit run by Kevin Croft and Trevor Mori has enabled the group to be at the frontiers of research into oxidative stress and fatty acid metabolism in relation to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Page 3 Cardiovascular Research Centre: RPH The Cardiovascular Research Centre was formed in 2003 and is based at Royal Perth Hospital. The centre is part of the School of Medicine and Pharmacology at the University of Western Australia.

Much of our work is carried out in collaboration with the Neurocardiology Research Group at Royal Perth Hospital.
