Moderately elevated concentrations were observed throughout the Midwest, South, the Northeast corridor, and Texas.
Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for lung cancer were moderately elevated among subjects whose exposure level was above the 90th percentile whether or not a latent period was assumed [ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), 3.7 (1.0-11.7), 3.3 (0.6.23.4), 6.2 (1.1-31.6), and 19.3 (2.5-141.7) for 0, 5, 7, and 9 years of latency, respectively].
Moderately elevated HbA1c (HbA1c >6.0%) was indicative of increased risk in an analysis of Japanese individuals without known diabetes (9).
Recently, in a type 1 diabetic cohort in Denmark, moderately elevated uric acid concentrations were found to be associated with risk of proteinuria during an 18-year follow-up (13).
Liver enzyme levels were checked in approximately 60% and were moderately elevated at shock, with aspartate aminotransferase levels consistently higher than alanine aminotransferase levels.
The risk was found to be moderately elevated with increasing BMI and height in both sexes among the follicle-cell derived (papillary and follicular) carcinomas.
Antioxidant enzyme activities were normal except in skeletal muscle, where they were moderately elevated.
It should be noted that ICP was moderately elevated in that trial, i.e. 20 30 mmHg and of short-term duration (5 min), and that therapeutic hypothermia was initiated with cold saline infusion prior to using treatments for high ICP (osmotic therapy).
Intriguingly, circulating PGD2 and PGE2 were moderately elevated at the rather late stage (the adenoma carcinoma sequence), whereas circulating TXA2 was dramatically elevated throughout the entire progression of CRC in FAP patients.
Thus, the cytokine profile demonstrates that the levels of Th1 chemokine CXCL10 was highly elevated and that the levels of chemokines IL-8/CXCL8, CCL2, and CXCL9 were moderately elevated.
