This can be explained by the half-life of red blood cells and other major protein sources in blood, which exceeded the time of the intervention diet, as has been observed in previous studies [ 17, 23].
This minor effect on behavior might be explained by the half-life of ADAM17 (over 24 h), suggesting that rADAM17 treatment might need repeated local applications to have a sustained effect over time after SCI.
The return in PCT levels to normal within a few days after surgery after an uncomplicated postoperative course can be explained by the half-life of PCT (18 to 24 hours) [ 1] in the absence of a further insult that may induce more PCT production.
By this model, the covariance between sibling births can be explained by the one-half of genes they share (½f2), the maternal genetic factors from a common mother (m2) and aspects of the familial environment that they share (c2).
At later time points piroxicam was no longer protective, which may be explained by the short half life of drug in mice (T1/2 = 1.7 h) (Milne and Twomey, 1980).
This is explained by the short half-life of insulin of 4 5 min and rapid clearance by the liver before it reaches peripheral circulation.
The high percentage of cells that were positive for PCNA in all leukaemia subgroups can be explained by the long half-life time of this antigen.
G-Gap depends on HbA1c and fructosamine levels; therefore, G-Gap variations may be explained by the different half-lives of its components.
