Classical inflammatory markers including blood sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and serum amyloid A were only moderately elevated.
As for other disorders common in the elderly, Dr. Carlos L. Krumdieck and Dr. Charles W. Prince, nutrition scientists at the University of Alabama Schools of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Related Professions in Birmingham, have described a link between moderately elevated homocysteine levels and the occurrence of senile osteoporosis and presbyopia.
As shown in Fig. 7 A, ISG15 and its conjugates were highly elevated in two A-T patients (lanes 3 and 4), and moderately elevated in two other A-T patients (lanes 5 and 6) tested.
Researchers say the effects can be seen even when levels of blood sugar, or glucose, are only moderately elevated, a finding that may help to explain normal age-related cognitive decline because glucose regulation worsens with age.

The score was particularly useful among older patients with HF who had moderately elevated NTproBNP, a group that is often difficult to evaluate.
At day 5, the cytotoxicity effect of C. longa extract was moderately elevated in a dose dependent manner with 4 μg of MTT and the concentrations of extracts at higher than 300 μg/mL drastically affected cell viability (less than 65% of cell viability, Figure 1B).
In the 9 patients with elevated activity, it was slightly elevated in 5 patients, moderately elevated in 3 patients, and strongly elevated in 1.
The study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, involved feeding 34 college students with moderately elevated cholesterol levels a lunch of ground beef every day for a month.
Output of the simple model compares well with output from the full model (averaged in space and time) at current and moderately elevated nutrient loads; but at highly elevated loads, there is a breakdown in the linkage between the predictions of the two models due to the role of spatial variation in moderating ecosystem responses.
But another test that helps mark inflammation -- called an erythrocyte sedimentation rate -- was moderately elevated.
