Furthermore, one may have expected that glucose transporter expression would have been inversely proportionate to blood glucose level [ 40, 42, 43].
A rat model of endotoxic shock has suggested potential benefit with a higher proportionate splanchnic blood flow, lower lactate levels and less overall fluid support requirement for early compared with delayed norepinephrine administration [ 36].
Results are therefore reported as the proportionate change in blood loss attributable to a given covariate (i.e. the exponentiated coefficient corresponding to that covariate).
The level of cotinine in the blood is proportionate to the amount of exposure to tobacco smoke and thus it is a valuable indicator of tobacco smoke exposure.
Urine samples for measurement of TBARS (proportionate to lipid peroxidation) and blood specimens for analysis of serum bilirubin, ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase were obtained within 24 hours of enrollment.
DHCR7 deficiency impairs both desmosterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol metabolism, 20, 21, 33 resulting in elevated 7-DHC and 8-DHC blood levels, with proportionate, phenotype-dependent reductions in serum cholesterol, 9– 13, 24, 32, 34, 35 alterations that are mimicked in Dhcr7−/− and +/− mice, 36 and in mice with a knock-in of the human T93M mutation.
Implementing these conditions leads to an increase in the predicted lymph production of just under 1 %, while the proportionate change in the predicted overall blood flow was much smaller.
The numerical instructions provided in Appendix 5 Table 1 are a guide; insulin dosage should always be done with common sense, proportionate to the previous changes in blood glucose observed upon previous changes in dosage.
If this is accompanied by a proportionate reabsorption of water, the tubular fluid remains at the same concentration as the blood plasma, but if the reabsorption of water is restricted, as it may be in certain circumstances (see below), the tubular fluid becomes more dilute than the blood plasma.
However, reduction in body weight among the treated groups was not found proportionate to the circulating leptin levels, which suggests that increased leptin level in peripheral blood is not sufficient to induce a proportionate reduction on body weight.
