To do this, we intend to measure metabolic function in newborns born or admitted to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, starting with the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and intermediate care nursery (PICN) while aiming to reach "every" newborn at the hospital.
The Agilent Seahorse XFp Analyzer measures metabolic functions of live cells with same-day results.
The linkage between these non-invasive continuous measures of metabolic function, global measures of hemodynamic status and clinical outcomes needs to be made and, if shown useful, may be the direction we take in the future to guide us in the resuscitation of patients with critical illness.
In other words, resveratrol blood concentrations were associated with no quantifiable changes, beneficial or otherwise, in any measure of metabolic function.
Furthermore, we examined whether the standardised uptake value (SUV) of 18F-FDGal from static scans can substitute the hepatic systemic clearance of 18F-FDGal (K met, mL blood/min/mL liver tissue/) quantified from dynamic scans as measure of metabolic function.
Chuttani, who is chief of interventional gastroenterology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, said that patients who got the Elipse also saw improvements in their triglycerides and in hemoglobin A1C levels -- a key measure of metabolic function.
7) Metabolic and endocrine effects: Measure metabolic and endocrine functions to be used as important cofactors in statistical analysis.
Hemodynamic measures and metabolic functioning also were assessed.
This prospective longitudinal cohort study is one of the first to examine associations between prenatal exposures to common environmental contaminants and fetal measures of metabolic function.
Cell viability assays detect cellular metabolic functions by measuring the activity of esterases or oxidative enzymes, e.g. MTT (3- 4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, a tetrazole) assay measures the reduction of this yellow compound to purple formazan by mitochondrial enzymes.
