Our results indicate that for women PTH is a plausible mediator in the association between MS and a range of explanatory variables, including vit D, magnesium and phosphate.
Telomere attrition, a predictor of CVD that reflects biological aging and the cumulative effects of oxidative stress, is a plausible mediator of the chronic health effects of air pollution.
Hence, they are a plausible mediator of the effect of intrauterine exposures, such as exposure to maternal pregnancy diabetes, on offspring outcomes and are increasingly studied in this regard.
The results of our study, combining current biological concepts and empirical data, suggest that PTH is a plausible mediator in the association between MS and various demographic variables and biomarkers, including vit D, phosphate and magnesium, in morbidly obese individuals.
Although less weight gain with breast-feeding is a plausible mediator, BMI at baseline may also partly reflect prepregnancy weight status or other confounding factors associated with body fatness and which may have insufficiently been controlled for by using lifestyle confounders and retrospectively self-reported BMI at age 25.
Taken together, the results of the present study indicate that IL-6 is indeed a plausible mediator of the relationship between tumour necrosis and systemic inflammatory responses in patients with operable colorectal cancer.
Therefore, daily systolic BP is a plausible physiological mediator for the contrasting associations between occupational and leisure time physical activity and CVD.
If indeed statins cause mitochondrial dysfunction, a plausible mediator of this effect is CoQ10.
Outer membrane vesicles are constitutively secreted in Gram-negative bacteria acting as mediators of bacterial endurance (Lee et al. 2008) and are a plausible mechanism of outer membrane and periplasmic protein secretion.
Selling their headquarters is a plausible start.
