The liquid portion that remains when blood is allowed to clot spontaneously and is then centrifuged to remove the blood cells and clotting elements. It has approximately the same volume (55%) as plasma and differs from it only by the absence of fibrinogen.SeeFibrinogen ...
Its composition and volume influences the activities of other organ-systems which, in turn, maintain the homeostasis of the entire organism (Versieck and Cornells, 1989). Serum differs from plasma chiefly in that it contains no fibrinogen, which, due to polymerization, forms the blood clot. To...
Namely, a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity (SOD), catalase activity, and an overall increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were found in red blood cell lysates of humans with hypothyroidism [11,12,13], and these changes were attenuated after treatment with levothyroxine...
The findings suggest that chronic low dose exposure to pesticides either directly or indirectly can be a major contributor for presence of pesticide residual levels in human blood.Keywords: Pesticide; chlorpyrifos; Blood; Gas Chromatogram Mass Spectrometer. 展开 ...
VD, which is produced in the skin or taken from the dietary sources, is hydroxylated to 25(OH) D. Therefore, Serum 25(OH) D levels have been used as a biomarker for VD adequacy [29]. Blood sample collection and measurement of Serum 25(OH) D methods have been previously reported elsewh...
A more thorough description of subtypes and their correlates has been previously published.22,31 Proteomics Blood samples were taken after an overnight fast and stored at − 80 °C in five different labs throughout the Netherlands, using standardized protocols. A panel of 243 analytes involved ...
Blood samples were centrifuged within 30 min, stored at 4 °C, and shipped overnight to a central laboratory for initial FASTER serum studies. Residual serum samples were frozen at − 80 °C. In 2017 and 2019, the first and second batch of samples, respectively, were shipped over...
The global incidence of MM has been increasing, particularly among men, people aged 50 years or older, and those from high-income countries [3]. Because the first clinical symptoms may have nothing to do with blood system diseases, patients may be treated in orthopedics, nephrology, gastroentero...
A total of 48 patients were examined (10 in the elderly-onset group). In the elderly-onset group, atypical rash was significantly more frequent, typical rash and splenomegaly were significantly less frequent, white blood cell count and neutrophil ratio were significantly higher and serum IL-6 ...
Moreover, the levels of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα are increased in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)21,22,23. Therefore, the expression levels of P450s in patients with PD are likely to vary from those in healthy individuals. It has been reported ...
