There were some analytical challenges linked to the analyses of POPs in the dataset.
The possible confounders included age (continuous), sex, race, and BMI (continuous) at year 2 in analyses of POPs wet weights; triglycerides (continuous) and total cholesterol (continuous) at year 2 were added in POPs lipid-adjusted analyses.
Analyses of POPs were performed using a Micromass Autospec Ultima (Waters, Mildford, MA) high-resolution chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometry system based on the method by Sandau et al. (13), with some modifications.
Because it is unlikely that all POPs would be equally involved in the association with incident diabetes, we further examined a second, more selective summary measure with POPs with ≥ 1.5 OR in the second quartile in the analyses of individual POPs and observed stronger associations at low serum concentrations than those of all 31 POPs (Table 5).
The analyses of legacy POPs were performed at the Centre de Toxicologie of the Institut National de Santé Publique du Québec (Québec, Canada) (CTQ) and PFASs were measured at the National Environmental Research Institute, Aarhus University, Denmark [ 33].
All of these interests converge in his insanely detailed analyses of the symbolism of pop videos and lyrics.
Much more difficult to anticipate will be whether the electorate will want to relive the nineties and the drama of the Clinton marriage — the sanctimony, the pop analyses of their relationship on the evening news, the old infidelity and oral-sex jokes on Leno and Letterman.
In 2003, a clinical examination was performed, including blood sampling for laboratory analyses of serum lipids and POPs.
Unfortunately, from the very limited amount of liver tissue available it was not possible to analyse the level of POPs and PFAAs and compare them to the levels in serum.
Women with the homozygous common genotypes and the lowest level of exposure to POPs were used as reference group in the analyses of the relation between SNPs, POPs and BC risk, respectively.
