Platelet MAO-B protein concentration was assessed for each subject by measuring the binding of [3H]-Ro 19-6327 [N- 2-aminoethyl -5-chloropicolinamide HCl, lazabemide] (0.96 TBq/mmol, Amersham GE Healthcare), a reversible inhibitor of MAO-B, to human platelet membranes, as described by Cesura et al. [N- 2-aminoethyl -5-chloropicolinamide
Using single TMS pulses, the lip representation in the left motor cortex was localized in each subject by measuring electromyographic activity in two surface electrodes attached to the right orbicularis oris muscle (as described in Möttönen and Watkins 2009), or, if this was not possible, the first dorsal interosseus (FDI) muscle was localized according to standard procedures (Rossini 1994).
Electroencephalogram (EEG) person identification, a relatively new biometric method, aims to distinguish subjects by measuring, extracting and comparing features of EEG signals.
The conductivity of the sample was adjusted to the equivalent conductivity of the healthy and unhealthy subjects by measuring the conductivity with the 914 pH/Conductometer (Metrohm AG, Ionenstrasse, Herisau, Switzerland) and adding deionized water.
To investigate whether interindividual variation in CYP3A levels can partly be explained by genetic polymorphisms, this study was designed to phenotype 200 healthy Bangladeshi subjects by measuring urinary ratio of 6β-hydroxy-cortisol/cortisol and to genotype all the subjects for the presence of CYP3A4*1B, *2, *4, *5, *6, *10 and *18 and CYP3A5*3 alleles.
For this purpose, we compared the walking patterns of patients with cerebellar dominant multiple system atrophy (MSAc, n = 8), spinocerebellar ataxia type 6 (SCA6, n = 4) and 16q-linked autosomal dominant cortical cerebellar atrophy (16q-linked ADCA, n = 6), and 6 normal subjects, by measuring toe and heel plantar pressures.
We quantified such blood shifts in normal subjects by measuring trunk volume by optoelectronic plethysmography, simultaneously with changes in body volume by whole body plethysmography during contractions of the diaphragm and abdominal muscles.
This study aims to determine the relationship between body fat distribution and adipocytokine in South-Asian subjects by measuring serum adipocytokines, adiposity, insulinemia, and glucose tolerance levels.
We explored whether melatonin levels differed between patients with age-related cataracts and normal subjects by measuring the levels of aMTS6, a major metabolite of melatonin.
We compared PDH levels between sepsis and healthy control subjects by measuring PDH levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells via a novel assay.
This study aims to determine the relationship between body fat distribution and adipocytokines in South-Asian subjects by measuring serum adiponectin, resistin, and leptin, measures of adiposity, insulinemia and glucose tolerance levels.
