why we still need hbv population-based epidemiologic studies

Intra-individual variation of plasma adipokine levels and utility of single measurement of these biomarkers in population-based studies.

Adipokines, soluble mediators produced by adipocytes, may link adipose tissue to the inflammatory, metabolic, and immune dysregulation that characterize many obesity-related diseases. The stability of plasma adipokine levels within individuals, their seasonal variability, intercorrelations, and relationships to well-established measures of adiposity are incompletely defined. We measured levels ...

Hypothesis/Commentary Plasma Volume Expansion in Pregnancy: Implications for Biomarkers in Population Studies

There is a growing body of literature focused on endogenous hormone exposures during pregnancy and subsequent cancer risk for both mother and offspring. Examples of these studies include those focused on the biological mechanism for the association of preeclampsia with reduced risk of breast cancer for mother and female offspring or studies that have examined hormone concentrations during pregn...
