always, always, always get checked out by your doctor. We test our patients all the time. They roll their eyes at us. They call us the vampire club because we’re always checking their blood work all of the time. Our poor lab technician, they just refer to her as the vampire...
MG, Brazil, for TGs and Cholesterol; HR Series NEFA-HR from Wako Chemicals, Richmond, VA, USA, for NEFA determination). Serum insulin concentration was determined by ELISA, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (#EZRMI-13K, Millipore; MA, USA). ...
Energy balance will be ascertained by maintaining a stable body weight (<1.0 kg increase or decrease) between LAB 1 and LAB 2 [16, 45]. LAB 2 (pre-intervention) Having completed the monitoring phase, participants will then return to the laboratory for measurement of a series of fasted and...
we divided the patients into two groups in terms of treatment (MD/FMD) and used two separate linear mixed models for the two groups to assess the effect of time within each group, with time as fixed effect and patient as random effect. We used thet-test...
one supervisor, one lab technician and one epidemiologist between November 2012 and March 2013 [15]. Statistical analysis:the major outcome for this analysis was hyperglycemia defined as any of impaired fasting blood glucose (fasting blood glucose between 110-126mg/dl (5.6-6.1mmol/L) and diabetes...
