We do not have direct measurement of total serum lipids, only of total cholesterol and triglycerides, with application of the formula developed by Phillips et al. (1989) to estimate total serum lipids.
Estimated total grant aid: $77,700.
Only a small proportion of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D among our participants was 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, which can explain the small differences in our heritability estimates between total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
Measurement of serum testosterone typically includes estimating total testosterone (free plus bound), free testosterone (not protein bound), and bioavailable testosterone (not SHBG bound).
Serum 25(OH D concentration is used to estimate total intake of vitamin D from cutaneous synthesis and dietary intake [ 19].
It was observed that the initial estimated serum total bilirubin levels were significantly higher for infants inheriting G6PD c.563C > T when compared to G6PD normal infants during their first 72 h of life [0 3 days] of life (p-value 0.010,< 0.001 and 0.002 respectively).
P-values <0.05 are bolded aCorresponds to directed acyclic graph from Fig. 1, Panel a bAdjusted for total serum lipids estimated from the Phillips 1989 equation, age, and waist-to-height ratio, all specified continuously.
Serum triglycerides and cholesterols were measured at the UC Davis clinical chemistry laboratory and total serum lipids were estimated [ 31].
Values are reported on a lipid-weight basis in parts per trillion by dividing TCDD on a whole-weight basis by total serum lipid content, estimated from measurements of triglycerides and cholesterol (Akins et al. 1989).
Lipid-adjusted values (nanograms per gram) were calculated by dividing o,p´ -DDT, p,p´ -DDT, and p,p´ -DDE on a whole-weight basis by total serum lipid content, estimated by enzymatic determination of triglycerides and total cholesterol (Phillips et al. 1989).
