Cytokines that are undetectable in the blood of healthy individuals are elevated in dengue-infected patients, such as IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, IL-18, IFNγ, TNFα, and MCP1 [22] [30].
We previously showed that FMR1 mRNA levels in premutation individuals are elevated 2- to 8-fold over normal (22, 23).
In fact, hospitalization admissions for preschool-age children and elderly individuals were elevated almost 2-fold in communities where PM10 levels were above the 24-hr and annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards of 65 and 150 μg/m (Dockery and Pope 1996).
It's not a superhero show, in which a random individual is elevated into something better; it hints, science-fictionally, at a fundamental change in human nature generally.
While hBD2 mRNA was not detected in whole blood assays from normal control individuals, it was elevated in septic ICU patients and in nonseptic ICU patients.
Within the periplaque white matter, the levels of hephaestin expression within individual oligodendrocytes was elevated suggesting that the cells were actively exporting iron, while more astrocytes expressed hephaestin in active lesions (Hametner et al., 2013).
From pre- to post-stimulation, the averaged individual alpha power was elevated by 14% in the tACS group.
The degree to which the median value of an individual risk factor was elevated relative to the threshold was greater with increasing age and with the number of risk factors, in men and in women (Supplementary Tables 1 and 2).
Interestingly, T-cell activation was elevated individuals with both latent and active TB.
