Protein and mRNA expressions of ERS markers were evaluated.
Rats were sacrificed after predetermined periods; serum levels of bone turnover markers were evaluated.
Combinations of the 5 markers were evaluated for their association with <32 weeks spontaneous preterm birth.
Metabolic markers were evaluated at baseline and at the end of the study.
Mechanical contraction parameters, cardiac tissue damage and oxidative stress markers were evaluated.
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and collagen/calcium deposition, considered as early and late osteogenic markers, were evaluated concomitantly as index of osteo-differentiation.
Biological properties such as cell number, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and gene expressions of osteogenetic bone markers were evaluated during cell culture.
Markers were evaluated in successively larger serum sets depending on their performance at the previous step.
Markers were evaluated using three overlapping sets of blood specimens, detailed in Table 1.
Distributions of both markers were evaluated by mean of Kruskall-Wallis test.
Morphology, hormone levels, and expression of vimentin and cytokeratin markers were evaluated to confirm the menstrual-like changes in this model.
