Studies suggest that iron status (measured by serum ferritin) differs significantly according to sex, but inconsistent findings have been reported. Our aim is to test the association between serum ferritin and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and fasting glucose concentrations in a population-based,...
Sex hormone-binding globulin and free testos terone were not correlated with age in control sujects. 3) Free testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin concentrations were not significantly related to serum insulin concentration after adjusting for age and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS: We observed...
We performed the MR-PRESSO global test to assess horizontal pleiotropy and the presence of missing abnormal variants30. Cochran's Q was calculated to examine the heterogeneity of individual causal effects, with p-value < 0.05 indicating the presence of pleiotropy. Finally, we also performed ...
Clinical significance of serum concentrations of neuregulin-4, in acute coronary syndrome Article Open access 02 April 2020 The potential of platelet to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (PHR) as a novel biomarker for heart failure Article Open access 07 October 2024 Introduction Type 2...
Statistic analysis of correlation was performed using GraphPad Prism@ version 5. Levels of the 3 biomarkers in serum samples were shown as mean [95-CI]. One-way ANOVA was applied when compare biomarker levels. Correlations between levels of biomarkers were done by Pearson’s test on log transf...
To create the test, the researchers took advantage of chemical reactions between blood serum proteins and a widely-available dye called bromocreosol green. Each test paper strip was also equipped with antibodies that recognized different blood type markers, such as A or B antigens, which can be...
Objective:To investigate characteristics of C-peptide releasing test in different TCM syndromes of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:Totally 151 patients of T2DM were differentiated into 5 TCM syndromes and serum fasting C-peptide and its level at 1 h,2 h,3 h after meal were determined.Ob...
and we found that 2.5 µg/ml concentration of predicted B cell epitopes/peptides and 1:1600 ratio dilution of serum sample were most suitable parameters to perform the test. Similarly, it was observed that 10 µg/ml concentration of T cell epitopes was the appropriate dose for MTT assay...
and the specificity ofpPB-Gfa2-EGFPcould be improved by removing the effects of the 3′TR. To test this possibility, because the 3′TR was reported to induce rightward gene expression, we inverted the directions of theBlbp-EGFPand theGfa2-EGFPcassettes inpPB(Supplementary Figs.2A,3A). We...
Macrophages (5 × 107) were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-5% fetal bovine serum with the wild-type and mutant strain of P. aeruginosa (5 × 107 CFU) for 30 min at 37°C. In order to eliminate extracellular P. aeruginosa, three washes by centrifugation at 1,500 g ...
