The phrase "and augmented levels of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing increases or enhancements in quantities, amounts, or intensities of something, often in a scientific or technical context.
Example: "The study found that the new treatment resulted in augmented levels of serotonin in the patients' brains."
Alternatives: "increased levels of" or "enhanced levels of".
These atopic individuals have increased allergen specific IgE, total serum IgE and augmented levels of blood eosinophils that are induced by the Th2 subset of T cells.
In addition, the beta cell secretome is altered in individuals with type 2 diabetes, for example, it displays increased amounts of proinsulin [ 75] and augmented levels of human islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) (which is co-secreted with insulin).
In fact, rather than osmotic stimuli, hypovolemia (either true or effective), which is detected by peripheral baroreceptors [ 39, 40] and augmented levels of aldosterone and angiotensin II [ 41], are more likely to play leading roles in promoting enhanced salt appetite.

Oral dTMP/dCMP crossed biological barriers including the blood brain barrier (BBB) because treatment increased dTTP in brain and liver in 13-day-old Tk2 −/− mice and augmented levels of mtDNA restoring the mitochondrial RC activities and protein defects in brain, heart, muscle, liver, and kidney of 13- and 29-day-old mutant mice.
PA treatment also inhibited oxidative stress in MCAO rats as evident from decreased lipid peroxidation and augmented level of reduced glutathione and restored activities of catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase and thus, reduced infarct volume and protected the brain histology after I R injury.
Moreover, higher levels of inflammatory markers are a predictor of increased cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients [ 50] and, on the other hand, augmented levels of circulating inflammatory markers also relate to the incidence of diabetes mellitus [ 51].
In addition, tubular epithelial cells cultured from ADPKD cysts display augmented levels of proliferation and upregulation of proliferation-associated genes such as c-Myc, Ki-67 and PCNA [ 5- 8].
Supporting this is that some of the G0S2-TG mice had augmented levels of immunodeficiency-related anti-nuclear and anti-dsDNA antibodies in their sera (Fig. 7B), although these phenotypes are related not to vasculitis but to SLE.
Increased levels of phagocyte-derived catecholamines were associated with intensification of the acute inflammatory response, as assessed by increased plasma leak of albumin, enhanced myeloperoxidase content in lungs, augmented levels of proinflammatory mediators in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids, and elevated expression of pulmonary ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.
In this study, we found notably augmented levels of total APC mRNA levels (from promoters 1A and 1B) as well as APC 1B mRNA in the adenomas investigated by qRT-PCR, of which 13 out of 16 samples displayed APC promoter 1A hypermethylation (Figure 4).
