First, we must look for a concept or concepts that are inherently small in size, which means high plasma density.
p, p'-DDE, the main DDT metabolite, was the chlorinated pesticide with the highest plasma concentration (mean concentration above 1000 μg/Kg), followed by trans-nonachlor, hexachlorobenzene, and oxychlordane, with mean concentrations between 200 and 400 μg/Kg.
A1C of <7% is a recommended aim for individuals with diabetes (9), with higher A1C corresponding to a higher mean plasma glucose level, indicating worse glycemic control (10).
The prandial + basal group had significantly higher mean plasma insulin at 1 and 2 h and significantly higher mean post-meal plasma insulin total and incremental AUC (Fig. 1b and Table 2).
Conclusion: PPH patients are significantly more likely to have hyperhomocysteinemia, and higher mean plasma total homocysteine levels than in controls.
In the crude GEE models women with lesions at all three visits were observed to have up to 0.42 (Table 3) and in adjusted models up to 0.29 log10 copies/ml higher mean plasma HIV RNA levels compared to women in the asymptomatic group who had no lesion-visits (Table 4, trend p-value <0.001).
Compared with the other genotypes, the −803A homozygotes had a slightly higher mean plasma vitamin A level, although not significant.
Only Gluckman et al 2005 reported higher mean plasma glucose concentrations between 4 h and 24 h in cooled vs control infants which resolved spontaneously [ 10].
In the DCCT study, subjects in the conventional treatment condition had consistently higher mean plasma glucose levels than intensively treated patients at any given level of HbA1c (9 ).
In our analysis, children with HIV TatCC variants had a significantly higher mean plasma VL than HIV TatCS variants (p = 0.008; t-test, unequal variances).
