We also found that raised plasma CFH concentration and the presence of a plasma CFH-raising allele at CFH SNP rs6677604 were each associated with AMD protection.
Whether such reduced cortisol responses in the presence of raised plasma (free) cortisol identifies adrenal failure needing treatment is unlikely.
Furthermore, the raised plasma levels of CCL17 and 22 correlated positively with the proportion of dermal CD8+/CCR4+ T-cells, r = 0.53 and r = 0.48 respectively (Fig. 3b).
Raised plasma concentrations of medium-chain acylcarnitines have been linked to increased CVD risk regardless of other risk factors, including branched chain amino acids and obesity.
However, neither the plasma glucose lowering action, nor the raised plasma levels of insulin and C-peptide can be obtained in conscious rats received same syringin treatment.
Chronic treatment with leptin for 4 weeks raised plasma levels in B6 mice to that of A/J mice.
The criteria to identify glomerular dysfunction were raised plasma creatinine (Pc) values on two occasions or a low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measured by Tc-99-DTPA clearance.
Besides the duration of diabetes and poor glycaemic control, other factors such as higher body mass index, smoking, hypertension, and raised plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels are associated with the incidence of neuropathy [36].
Several observations suggest that endothelial function is abnormal in migraine patients, including an increased prevalence of anti-endothelial cell antibodies that may induce endothelial damage and raised plasma levels of ET-1 and von Willebrand factor [29].
Importantly, we raised plasma creatine to levels seen in previous studies [48].
The metabolic syndrome is the combination of most or all of: raised plasma glucose, abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, and high blood pressure [1].
