27 28 Thus, one mechanism by which soft drink intake might increase serum TG could be stimulation of desaturase activities in the liver.

Although these results do not prove a causal relation between increased Na levels and death, we urge for interventional studies to ascertain the safety of treatment strategies that might increase serum Na levels in patients with severe TBI.

However, in our data we estimated associations with cumulative PFOA exposure predicted by a model that did not incorporate measured PFOA concentrations, hence "reverse causality" (by which disease might increase measured serum levels rather than serum levels preceding disease) is not relevant here.

Genetic and phenotypic correlations suggest that selection for higher intramuscular fat (as a way to improve the palatability and juiciness of meat) might increase fatness, serum lipids and meat monounsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids contents [ 3].

Polycationic molecules are known to be rapidly and efficiently taken up by cells through endocytosis (Basu et al, 1976), but have the drawback that they are also cleared rapidly from the systemic circulation in vivo (Vorbrodt et al, 1996), and pegylation might increase the serum half-life, thus improving the tumour localising properties of these molecules.

Although serum VEGF levels were not elevated in AD patients without depression, AD might be predisposed to increase serum VEGF levels in AD patients with depression.

Since proximal tubule injury and dysfunction is the hallmark of AKI, reduced renal IL-6 metabolism might contribute to increased serum IL-6 in patients with AKI.

Surprisingly, ghrelin was inversely associated with renal function in the subgroup of non-sepsis patients as evidenced by significant correlations with the glomerular filtration rate of cystatin C (r = -0.415, P = 0.018; Figure 3a), indicating that reduced renal clearance might contribute to increased serum ghrelin in these patients.
